Transfer thread

[Gazza]

Wahoooooooooooo another one for the future who we will end up loaning to a League Two team in 2 years and then selling for 45p

Some people are never satisfied. I’ve played championship manager enough through the years to know when a regen player comes about. They don’t have the stats initially but they go on to be just as good as the original. He is obviously the second coming of Gordon Durie

 

[GlennGoddle]

Pretty poor from the board.

Didn’t we also sign the next Irish talented striker this month, Melia or something. Plenty of kids to go upfront, or more likely, rot in the reserves

Don’t blame us, we are all here for the Burger King stories.

Im glad Lange is getting on with what he does best - scouting for the academy. Just a shame there's no longer a grown up in charge of the grown ups

Scarlett, Lankshear, Melia, Feeney, Boast, Irow(?). Hopefully one of them is worthy of squad place long term

We are like the Luton version of Chelsea

 

[Gutter Boy]

Pretty poor from the board.

Well we couldnt get a fee for Solomon or Veliz, and Biss and Dragusin had to stay because of injuries, so I guess we just didnt have the funds to do anything else within their zero net spend parameters.

Throw enough brick on the wall hopefully some will stick

 

[MartyFunkhouser]

Not shocked by the end of the window TBH.

 

[Benny_Lad]

It’s a tough one and I can see both sides.

Do we sign short term players that we may not need when current players return. And then we’ve used our funds that could have been held for summer and spent on ‘better’ targets.

Squad is going to be bloated as it is next season with likely no Europe.

The only thing I don’t like is the selling of Johnson with no back up ready. We’re told clubs don’t sell in the January window unless they have a replacement sorted - but we did.

 

[djp82]

Not really good enough. We were needing some reinforcements before all the injury’s. CG is not a bad signing but it does not move the needle really.

 

[Legohamster]

Whoever is at fault (or just bad luck) it really is a poor window.

Happy with Johnson out for a fee and Gallagher in.

But the squad is still short of quality in key areas.

Would take Sterling on a short term deal now.

Spurs fans are so used to a high volume of signings that they lose their brick when no transfers happen on a day like today.

Unless we were going to get an Adam Wharton level player, I wasn't so bothered. Akliouche was an interesting link and perhaps we've done some groundwork for a summer move.

I'm genuinely not worried about Johnson leaving either. We took a deal when it was there. Whose to say we would have got an equivalent deal in the summer.

Say we want Levy back

I think we are short but im not shocked

How can you lose your sh1t when you know your club well enough to know it was likely to be a lean window. Not saying I know the club better than anyone, but you would have had to been mad to think it might be more than it was, based on zero.

Im upset, but I cant act shocked, who can honestly hand on heart say they are shocked

I do feel the injuries may have impacted our funds, Dragon/Tel looked like they would have been shifted out on loan/sold which would have generated money to spend.

We can never know what's going on behind the scenes, but I don't think the board is capable of doing what needs to be done investment and spend wise in the long term, Wolves seem to be selling players, would have been good to test the waters with a big bid for Gomes.

As it stands, staying in the league is our number one target, after this week I'm more positive than after the West Ham, but it ls not a completely unrealistic prospect for us to go down.

If none of our 1 or 2 options in each position was available/gettable then loans with an option is what we needed if short of numbers (ie no commitment).

I assume Gallagher was the former.

Not really too bothered about any of it tbh.

The league is highly likely to be a 9-15th place finish....so a write off this season and the CL is on the back burner for 5 weeks...so I'm sure we'll have a healthier squad to choose from by then.

As long as we see some progress in team dynamics in the league it'll feel we are building something.

Wouldnt hold ya breath.

So are just ignoring the first team now. And planning for 5yrs time
By which time we could be in the championship??!
Absolute jokers. Holes still not fixed and got rid of more.....

 

[Yiddo]

Again, without moving more players on our squad would become bloated if we had signed more players. Once everyone is fit again we have a big squad

Vicario Kinsky

Porro Spence
Romero Danso
VDV Dragusin
Udogie Davies

Grey Sarr
Palinha Bentancur
Bergavll Gallagher

Kudus Odobert
Xavi Maddison
Richie Tel

Solanke Muani

And thats not even mentioning Kulu, Bissouma and Souza

Thats 27 players battling for 11 places and i know we can drop players that TF doesn't like but if we are signing players for the sake of it in January we may aswell use the players we have when they all start coming back from injuries.
