they also would have done this in the summer to be fairMaybe, but I'm sure Chelsea will entice him with a higher offer
Maybe our Champions league results have made us more attractive to palyers who wouldnt have looked at us last window?
it looks to me Doucouré is the one who we might be after.
We really really need a forward thinking centre mid. Too many safe sideways players. Dembele is the best but is never 100% fit and can’t make quick decisive passes..
Ideas?
Andre Gomes?
No!Winks

If I were Barkley and I'd pulled out of a move to Chelsea in the summer, because we told him we wanted him, I'd be really really angry at us for the way we've strung him along. If he does now go to Chelsea, he will bust a gut every time he faces us, just to stick it up us and prove a point.
Are we even sure RB wanted to come to Spurs (or vice versa)?Well put

"Spurs were ready to match Chelsea fee and wages - both relatively modest - for Barkley this window, but Pochettino said no. Summer interest but something changed. Barkley may have chosen Chelsea anyway of course."
Found this interesting.
Maybe or maybe not - all depends on which way YOU look at it I guess!Are we even sure RB wanted to come to Spurs (or vice versa)?
Seems more likely that in the summer when it became clear he wasn't going to play for the first half of the season, that he sat down with Chelsea, turned them down (saving them £20m in the process) knowing that he could sign for them in Jan with a much higher sign-on /wage.
Think Spurs interest was only for him to get a better deal and we were never in the running.
