Thanks trix. You say it is well known some players arent happy at spurs. Apart from rose i cant think who, maybe alderwierald, but thats just a release clause perhaps

Who else wants out of spurs?

Anyone fill me in?
Must confess I am wondering who the other one is as well.

Tbh I'd have absolutely no idea, not having taken part in or concluded any deals like this personally.
What I would wager is that it's nowhere near as simple as fans make it out to be.

It’s definitely not simple, of course, but we have a manager who has proven what he can do for a player when they have a full pre-season with us.

It's got to be Rose and Toby. Danny's gone public saying he'd like a move and Toby would have signed a new contract by now if he was happy to stay. At least it's only two players that aren't happy... It could be much worse.

Good morning and a happy new year to all.

Firstly I am one that in the past has posted various bits and pieces in the player threads, and have also been guilty of answering questions thrown up by posters in random threads so apologies for that A&C.

As for this window. After speaking to my mate this morning very little has changed since my last update a few weeks back, some may have missed it so I will go over it again with maybe a couple of little bits extra I have heard today......

We are not actively looking to move anyone(first team regulars) on this window. It's widely known that a couple of players are not fully content with life at Spurs for one reason or another, that said they are all very much still pulling in the same direction as things stand. That is why barring what we consider to be vastly OTT offers allowing us to overall squad strengthen, nothing at all will be entertained. If that should happen and we do sell, we will buy!

As far as incomings are concerned, I'm still hearing Barkley is not likely to happen(for reasons I have already posted) although we are still keen on him as a player. CP not willing to let Zaha go now so would take one of those OTT bids mentioned earlier to get them talking(not likely unless someone goes). Richarliason is another we have been watching very closely, but he is splitting opinion somewhat, and we'd like to see a bit more of him before throwing our eggs into this basket. Of our "made public" targets the one I could see happening this window one way or another is Sess. We have courted him now for two years, and he is keen, but he knows/we know/his dad knows that him playing games for Fulham has been far more beneficial to the lad than moving to us at a previous time. Think this could well be a Dele type deal with him coming in the Summer personally. Anyone hoping for an out of the blue ready made superstar coming from the continent to propel us to new heights is going to be very disappointed.

So all in all we want players in but we won't be buying just to get our numbers up barring injury or stupid offers for players that are not seen as "long term must keeps" it will be quiet. That doesn't mean though we won't be trying, it just means it is unlikely because January is very difficult. We have a list of players we think could improve us but just because they are not available now, it doesn't mean we will get someone that is, just to bulk the squad. We will wait!!

Oh I also asked about loanee's returning and he said as far as he was aware, we had no plans to recall anyone.
Spot on regarding the OTT bid. I know Zaha said he’s staying but don’t be shocked if we go for him this window. Parish is more open to a deal than some may believe.

Surely an OTT offer for Kane wouldn’t be considered?....its imperative he is a Spurs player when we move into the new stadium.

Right, but what about Kane?!!

This is what I was getting out. Trix info infers we will only consider OTT offers for our players before considering any sales. Is that an OTT offer for ANY of our players or just the ones who are said to be les happy than the others?

He said OTT offers allowing us to strengthen. Selling Kane does not allow us to strengthen

It's Jan 1st, we can't be worrying about Kane leaving already surely. Relax.

You’re right of course but it would be nice to hear that there are some unsellables in our squad despite an OTT offer.

Ah sorry I was just joking!

It's a fair question but I think we can reasonably assume that Kane isn't being sold. Even if Real or whoever came in with a Neymar-surpassing bid, we would surely tell them to wait until the summer and then reassess. He's the heart of the club at the moment, and the revolt from the fans should he be sold would make the Campbell matter look like a tea party.

1st ITK of the window and us dreaming of Malcom or some other superstar has just had our dreams shattered.

The better we get the more boring each window gets.

I would still like levy to go and buy a real world beater and give us a boost to get CL this season.

Surely missing out on top 4 is unthinkable this season and will have repercussions
