Winter 2013/14 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

[Bigjon]

Bale wont come back,we all know he'll end up at man u in a few years

 

[SMC]

Kyle Walker is very underrated by Spurs fans. And he's also only 23.

If anyone seriously thinks our RB is what needs replacing they need their heads screwed back on.

LB (or cover) and a striker is our main priority in jan

Word on the grapevine is that Halilovic is a bit of a cunt.............

There is a 99% chance that any article that uses the term "warchest" is anything but reliable.

Tottenham's Jermain Defoe agrees transfer to Toronto of MLS in January window

Jermain Defoe has agreed an incredible £90,000-a-week switch to MLS side FC Toronto.

The 31-year-old Tottenham and England striker has shattered the hopes of domestic clubs bidding to land him in January by accepting a stunning four-year offer to move to Canada.

Defoe said yes to the deal, also worth £6million to the White Hart Lane club, last week.

It is understood he will discuss the implications for his World Cup prospects with England boss Roy Hodgson.

But the transfer means the striker is set to end his career in Canada.

Defoe's former club West Ham and his old Spurs and Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp, now at Championship promotion chasers Queens Park Rangers, had been leading the chase to tempt him away from White Hart Lane.

But, as we exclusively revealed a month ago, Toronto gazumped them all with an offer the marksman could not refuse.

The outfit, managed by Defoe’s former Tottenham team-mate Ryan Nelsen, will even fly the striker’s family out with him to help him settle.

The move will draw a line under his frustrating second spell at White Hart Lane.

Despite being a regular goal-scorer for Tottenham the frontman has been to restricted to appearances in the Europa League this season.

Boss Andre Villas-Boas has persisted with £26million summer signing Roberto Soldado as the sole striker in his strongest side.

In the summer of 2012, Defoe signed a new deal extending his contract - which would have ended next July - by an extra year.

Mirror Sport understands he was willing to see out his playing days in Spurs colours.

With his opportunities limited, however, Defoe has chosen to cut his losses and move on.

I don't want anymore tiny strikers under 180cm or strikers who "prefer to stay wide" or "playing the ball up from midfield".

We need an old fashioned out and out #9 as a viable, tactical alternative to Soldado. Someone who will go through two centrebacks, 1 keeper and even a goalpost to bundle in a dodgy cross.

The deal is done. Was done since the transfer request went in.
Benteke is SPURS now.

I am the only one who would like us to roll the dice on berahino? young, Great shooting, fast, intelligent, 2 feeted player and possess a very good technique. could be one hell of a striker with the right altitude and training.

We don't often play noticeably above sea level though...

 

[Tucker]

Twitter would go into full meltdown

When isn't twitter in full meltdown?

 

[VirginiaSpur]

But do we want a player that performs Nazi salutes???????!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I can see the headlines now:

Spurs Double Down On Anti-Semitism; Targeting Nazi Sympathizer

Actual quote from Winston Churchill

 

[Yorkshire_Spurs]

Long... Fletcher... WTF? I thought we were aiming for the Champions League, not mid-table mediocrity...

Baldini is thinking that we signed mint players and now they are shit. So if we sign shit players they will be mint.

He is keeping it simple.

 

[Yorkshire_Spurs]

I know he had a good olympics, but the hype seemed to coincide with the tottenham interest rather than it being 'long term' if you get me.

I don't really have an active interest in the Brazilian league though, which might be the issue

I like a Brazilian. Generally neat / tidy and pleasing on the eye.

 

[Blanchflower]

Lamela loan move to AC, El sha part of the deal?

What would be the point?

Lamela is struggling to settle.........El Shaarawy would in all likelihood have exactly the same issues

these guys need time, to shuffle them around every 6 months is counter productive.

 

[KeaneBean]

Why are you following Shane Long's wife on Twitter?

Just making ITK more interesting:townhmm:

 

[Team Sherwood]

Yes, and that didn't turn out so well.

He's still friends with Sylvie, and is now currently banging her best friend.
I think he's alright .. really don't worry about him

 

[BAE32]

If we start losing top quality young talent, the likes of Holtby, Chadli and Lamela - I am going to go absolutely spare.

We built an incredibly deep and potential-fueled team over the summer with the large chunk we got from selling Bale. The squad is not the issue, it is the settling in period and the tactics that have seen us stall. We have the perfect squad for a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 rotation where most players will get a look in. Now that Timmy is here and quite obviously has his own ideas, we're all of a sudden looking to offload players who have done no wrong and are simply not getting played (although injuries seem ignored all too often with media reporting).

If Tim is too hard-nosed to switch to one up top, at least some of the time, then we have made the wrong choice and the club will be taking steps backwards. We do not need to change the squad, with the exception of maybe LB and other defensive cover.

:dempsey2:

Dempsey had way more of an impact than Chadli has shown.

Chadli looks better naked.

 

[HeroesAndVillains]

Chadli's confirmed it himself now from his Instagram it seems

Hope he's honest. Good thing to say.
