Gift Orban

[McFlash]

It’s being reported Fulham have agreed a deal after selling Mitrovic

Aaaarrrrgggggh!

 

[thefierycamel]

I think we’d have wrapped this up by now if we were going to. I honestly think we are done for the window.

Yep, if we get anyone in it'll be a sissoko-esque deadline day panic deal rather than a proper starter. Club is run so poorly

 

[luRRka]

Reported by Football Insider...

And also doesn't say anything about deal agreed. The deal agreed is the mitrovic one and football insider says fulham want to join the race with Tottenham.

Do people sit waiting for any news to break, even if it’s another clubs interest reported by Football insider, ready to respond with ‘oh we aren’t signing anyone then’’?

I think, as ITK have suggested, that we're not rushing to bring anyone else in till we get some of our outgoings sorted.

Whilst a little slow, there does seem to be movement on some of our outs. I can see Gift being a deadline day/end of the window signing once we've got other things in order.

And whilst I would be on the side of bringing in Gift now as we have the finances for it, it would mean our squad would be what... 35 players large at that stage and then it's not about just finances, it's squad harmony and everything as well so I understand the idea and want to shift players out now before bringing in

Seems that *some people* lol think that.
Where is our HK replacement, where is the other CB we were buying?
Pretty sure Orban is not our first choice though.

 

[jondy1]

Oh well we can always buy him from Fulham next year for £70 million

Clearly they've managed to go over 5 hours without having a pop at Levy and it's making them sweat.

If we are done this window then I hope the fans riot and really lay into Levy.

Even with the purchases we have made so far, only Maddison would fall into the bracket I am happy with whilst selling Kane. Im not expecting £70m+ signings but I am expecting to strengthen. We are a CF, RWF and CB short.

We've got two games before the window closes, and we've a mostly fit squad who are playing well - there really is no desperate need to get a HK replacement or the 'other' CB in now is there ? As long as they are in by close of the window, which i'm sure another CB will be and i'm pretty sure another forward of some description (not necessarily a no.9).

Unless we have multiple freak training ground injuries this week there is no need to panic !

…and if we have ‘multiple freak training injuries’? I’m talking about a CF type who adds to what we have and can put away tap ins and create something else for us outside the box.
Rest of the team is looking great. Let’s not be stupid eh, leave ourselves just short yet again.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

I’d suggest if a club like Fulham comes in and agrees a deal, if we genuinely believe he is a valid target, we’ll probably match their offer if pushed.
I still can’t help feeling we’ll go for Marcos Leonardo. Roma haven’t yet got his deal over the line, but the figures being mentioned are less than this being quoted for Orban.
His name was mentioned on here a number of weeks back as one we were watching, and resurfaced over the weekend.

Rumours Maddison has an injury and could be out for a few weeks.
If true that will be a big miss, still feel we are short of 2-3 players

Rumours Maddison has an injury and could be out for a few weeks.

Says who?

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Maddison was quoted after the game saying he was wearing a boot for precautionary reasons only. Following day he’s reported as having an injury. Wonder if it’s just people jumping to conclusions.

It's not a rumour about an injury. He says it's nothing serious and wore a boot as a precaution. That is literally what we know. We don't know if he'll be back next weekend or next year, we haven't been told that yet.

Eccleshare saying that he's had a scan today, hence the rumor mill going strong. Still no news about any injury.

If only there was a place here on spurs community where people could seek out the latest James Maddison news, and discuss it freely…

Is the ITK thread open at the moment?

No we shouldn't riot. The atmosphere was great on Saturday and should remain this way. We may think we need players x y and z but that doesn't mean we do. Most didn't even know this guy existed a few weeks ago and people are getting worked up about it. We've had plenty of transfer windows where people complain about leaving ourselves short only to finish top 4. Fact is we don't know what we need or if what we have can work with Ange. Signs so far are good so maybe we should just get behind the team. If it turns bad and becomes clear we needed players then by all means let Levy know about it. Until that happens the mood should be positive.
