    Because such quality players are very likely
    to be unavailable during the coming transfer window.

    You don’t know that.

    Plenty of teams have signed quality players in the winter transfer window before. To just write it off and say nobody quality is available would be counterproductive.

    Looking forward to you posting a long list of PL players demonstrating that ...


    "To just write it off and say nobody quality is available would be counterproductive."

    1. Did not say that.

    2. Even if I did, it has no effect on how "productive" Spurs player
    acquisition will be this transfer window.

    You only have to look down the years to see how many clubs have signed quality players in the winter transfer window.

    Willy P was also a superb January signing for us but then the tragedy involving his brother completely threw him off (as it would anyone).

    Not a great indictment, is it. :)
    Without the actual seasons, it may actually be worse
    (Kulu 2022 definitely improved the fortunes of Spurs
    by season end) .

    Robbo wasn't a buy-and-loan back: the initial attempt was, but the Premier League put the kibosh on it so we signed him when the season ended (and Leeds were relegated, so it was for something like 60% of what we offered in January) instead

    Football BSider are the only source claiming it, so reasonably safe to dismiss it out of hand

    He's being linked with a few other clubs, so perhaps it's ****ery to motivate movement from them?
    He only joined in the summer, but he's not playing very often. Wouldn't be first choice here, either.

    EuroFoot claim we had scouts watching Real Betis vs Real Vallecano the other day

    EuroFoot also claim that Betis need some money in January

    Guess what? EuroFoot put two and two together and assumed we were there to consider bringing Johnny Cardoso's likely summer move forward by six months, while also taking a look at their striker Vitor Roque

    Plettenberk says we're lining up a January move for the very much available Randal Kolo Muani, with PSG keen to sign off on a loan with an obligation to buy

    Monster Energy Dusseldorf reportedly also having a butcher's

    PSG reject clearly not good enough for the french league so almost certainly not good enough for the PL?

    Sounds right up our street.

    Somebody with a 1 in 3 record at Nantes isn't good enough for the French league?

    Been at the sherry today...?
