True, I can’t understand how we have’nt got rid of Jansen yet

What tune is this part sung to, fella?

SE Spurs · Jan 31, 2019

Chavs were never letting us have Batsuayi, ever!
Feel sorry for Jannsen though. The bloke was scoring a ton when he came to us. Now we can't even find him a club.

Ruffinthepuffin · Jan 31, 2019

I think we need to be honest with ourselves, the massive overspend on the stadium has crushed our transfer budget for the foreseeable future.

yankspurs · Jan 31, 2019

Ridiculous that levy fucked about on off loading janssen.

SargeantMeatCurtains · Jan 31, 2019

Poch gave everyone a clean slate in August. If Janssen is going to be here until the summer, give him a shirt number and use him when he’s needed.

Don’t think it’s solely down to money

As much as we might not like it, I think that a large part of it is that the players we now want\need don’t see us as an attractive choice.

If that's the case then I'd go back to my point that the scouting network needs to step up and identify more targets on a worldwide basis.

I think it's time to be pragmatic, a week ago we were in 4 competitions. We are now in 2 competitions and I'd say if we were to make a signing which would have made a serious impact on the remaining competitions then they would have to be top class. Top class doesn't move in January unless out of favour with their club or they're a bad egg, regardless whether it's spurs, united, city or whomever.

If we sign anybody now it's going to be shortsighted and just add to a problem we already have, a week ago yes we could have done with another midfielder or striker but realistically we are 80/90% assured of a top four place. We are far better off continuing to see Winks develop, Sissoko carry on and getting Wanyama back to full speed and giving Skipp some minutes. The forward line looks vastly better now Son is back, Moura is fit and Llorente will improve after coming out of the cold after 18 months of bench sitting and in a few weeks Kane and Dele will be back.

Long term this is best for the club, it's time to stop worrying about investments and focus on arriving into the summer in the top four with a trimmed squad which is primed for new faces in a brand new stadium. As much as we all want new signings, Poch has earn't that in the long run, this austerity will benefit the club.

I agree and its certainly Poch's thinking too.

At risk of cursing it I can only see our injuries issues easing in the next 2-5 weeks. That doesn't really warrant a panic or short term buy, no way we get long terms and seems poch only wanted Rabiot now. If we had have lost Kane for the season it would have been an entirely different matter though.

Question on Twitter to: @jetsetyid not strengthening the squad or improving on certain weak areas can’t have been the plan going into the last two windows can it?

Answer:
@jetsetyid No but also wide spread changing of team wasn’t in the plan either

If we could have lost a few and brought in the right players to replace we would have but Committee not going to panic buy.

This summer and 19/20 season was always the plan for new players for many reasons.

The only issue I have is that we should have been offering firesale prices on outgoing pieces to set us up for the summer. Instead Janssen and N'Koudou will still be here.

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow…

Would agree and I rather they just come out and say as much instead of the not going to effect the transfer budget, we will sign the player if they are there

Yeah and Rabiot was a logical purchase, didn't happen but then people start talking about Tielemans, I mean is he the quality we need in the 2 remaining competitions? I personally felt it would be a bit of a panic buy as he's more about potential, plus it was a Loan so we are developing him for no reason instead of Winks and Skipp. We need to be pragmatic and make decisions which benefit us in the long term. Which feels weird to say as we are doing incredible in the prem.

I am away to bed to watch Question Time ,more exciting!!

nidge · Jan 31, 2019

Shock horror after spending all evening saying we were in for Batshit the SSN report at Chelsea now claims we were never seriously in for him and it was all his agent. Who'd have thought it.

yido16 · Jan 31, 2019

Believe it when I see it, spurs will now say everyone is too expensive come next summer and we will wait a further year because of stadium cost,,,blah blah blah players are not easy to sign blah blah blah

Completely agree with you, that's is my only true negative of this window. Wanted to finally say goodbye to them.

Do you think milo minderbender has a midfielder he can sell us?

He can sell us back one of the ones we’ve already sold him. Everyone gets a share though (y)

We need to be honest, clubs were never going to risk a fee or loan with oblogation to buy as he's only just returning from a long lay off and hasnt been deemed good enough for us.

Levy needed to bite the bullet here.

Teddy Klinsmann · Jan 31, 2019

I hope our transfer committee don’t get paid commission. Weren’t even able to shift any of the deadwood on perm deals. Another pathetic window, more excuses. Wouldn’t surprise me if it do little in summer.

Anyone know what the point of a transfer committee is?
