Use our rumours form to send us spurs transfer rumours.

In order to push forward this season and ensure we finish in the top 4 I believe we need to sign 3 players before the January window shuts.

A new left back - We are weak in this area and even our first choice (Rose) is a bottom half the table player.

A new right back - Walker has had this position to himself for quite a while now and IMO he just doesn't cut it anymore. He had a great season a few years ago but since has taken two steps backwards. He is not fulfilling his potential and has had enough chances to do so and more and more so is proving to be a liability.

A striker - We have needed a decent striker for years and thought we had it when Soldado signed but he has been poor and isn't going to find form any time soon. Ade has been doing well but give it a couple more weeks and he will have lost interest again and by that time Defoe will be on his way so therefore where are the goals going to come from?

There is no point in Spurs waiting until the summer to sign more players as if they don't get them in now then we will surely miss out on CL football AGAIN!

My point of view is that nobody will come in this window. Not because we don't need them but that we will have a new manager in the summer that will be given funds. My view is either prandelli or van gaal will be coming after the World Cup (probably van gaal)
We may do a 6 month loan, maybe a lescott or a Ba etc but that might be all. As I said, only my opinion.

I'm not expecting to see Sherwood backed with money to address the issues we have.

I'm further expecting us not to make Top 4 and have to watch as the top clubs of Europe pick off our top players during the summer transfer window.

Sadly I think we will struggle to keep Lloris, Sandro and Verts in the summer.

Agree0 Disagree0

Apart from the fact that Sherwood has an 18 month contract! I hope that Baldini doesn't leave because if he does, all our signings will be rejects from other PL teams

Give me Sherwood over Van Gaal anyday.

What's going to happen when Sandro is back? Will Bentaleb drop out? I think Sandro is our best player, nobody in the league is as good of as defensive mid as him, plus he's a monster, everyone seems more confident going forward knowing he's behind them.

Also I'd like to see Lamela and Ade or Soldado upfront with Lamela dropping off, kind of how VDV did

Bentaleb is an attacking midfielder.

So if we're playing 4-4-2 with our team fully fit, he has to compete with Holtby, Eriksen, Siggy, Dembele, Paulinho.

I'd imagine with everyone fit, Sherwood would play Lennon and Townsend on their natural wings with Sandro and Eriksen in the middle.

Agree0 Disagree0

I dream of that day,
Lloris,
Walker, Chiriches, Vert, a good left back please
Lennon, Sandro, Erikson, Townsend
Lamela, Soldado

Would be interesting to see that xi given a run Davo.
