If he arrives when the window opens, he'll soon have a chance to endear himself to the fans by cutting either Herrera or Fellaini in half on the 13th...
That would do nicely - provided that Spurs don't take leave of their senses and have recruited Herrera too (Please God, No!)
On further inspection, the quotes from Barrios' agent imply he'll be arriving on the 19th So the choices are Troy Deeney on January 30th, Jamie Vardy on February 9th, or Cesc Fabregas on February 27th
Tielemans Watch Yes, really, the Daily Wail are saying we're plotting a January move for him (as well as Brentford striker Ollie Watkins)
I've lost count the amount of times I've said Ollie Watkins would be a good signing.. It's about time the club started listening to me!
I see from the BBC Gossip that we have an interest in Bradley Dack from Blackburn - A player i have seen a number of times for The Gills, and who has certainly taken well to life in the championship, he was certainly technically better than almost anyone else I have seen at Gillingham in the last 10 years, and its possible that with better coaching he could make the step up. I would imagine the Gills chairman will be licking his lips and there is almost certainly a lucrative sell on clause in place.
Wait a minute, did we just use the megastore announcement to unveil two new signings? please log in to view this image
A new name has cropped up in our transfer links - Viktor Tsyhankov https://www.unian.info/society/1031...aid-for-brilliant-ukraine-prospect-media.html I've never heard of him before and am always a bit wary of signing players from the former Eastern Block. However, we shall see if it's genuine and if so, whether he's any good, in due course. However, we need someone to come in and I wouldn't expect this to be our only purchase this January. I know that there's a lot of scepticism about this summer but I don't doubt that we intended to buy 2 or 3 players and just ballsed it up. Maybe this lad's one of the ones we land? There's also suggestions of further links to Cengiz Under, at Roma but any Turkish links have to be taken with vast amounts of salt. Plus, the kid's price will have massively increased for what we could have had him for just over a year go.
Never heard of him but just checked his stats, scored a good amount of goals, impressive for a CM. Captained Kiev for a number of games as well and still just 20.
Another link to someone that I've never heard of. It sounds like we might be able to afford him though... https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-tottenham-set-pip-13481641
I can't wait to see what the people saying we shouldn't sign Barrios because the Argentine league is weak say about signing a player from MLS...
I liked what I saw of Barrios at the World Cup. Mixed in a nice amount of ****housery and solid defensive skills to be a guy who I think could become a popular player at the club if he joins. The Colombian Dier joining to compete with The Original Dier - yes please.
I suspect that his popularity wouldn't extend to fans of opposition clubs, though! He'd take the heat off Alli for randomly being given hatred from the away end.
Alli and Lamela's ****housery, Dier's nutjob mentality and Barrios just ****ing **** up... It's going to be a great time for Spurs if he joins
Plus the occasional guest appearance, apparently at random, like Danny Rose being hated by the Stoke faithful.
