Hey guys first time back for a while.

Just to throw my two cents into this January window for spurs.
I don't think we sign anyone.
At a push a striker. But I don't even think that. I feel Sherwood would like to give a try to chadli, siggy, Lamela, in that area if soldado Ade or Kane can't play for whatever reason. And I feel any of those 3 would be decent 3rd choice strikers / second strikers. In a 442 or 4411.
I do hope we are looking at a LB. Even if it's just to recall Benny. But we need cover there. Rose is just returning from injury and hopefully will hit the form soon where he left off from before the injury. Because I challenge anyone to say he was bad Because he was looking very promising. I would have said from this league Oviedo but well that kinda won't happen for a while, or santon but it depends how much we would have to part with for him. And Ben Davies is looking very good, or even a back up for now Neil Taylor is also capable. But I think he would cost in excess or 6m whilst Davies would probably be only available past the 10m mark.

I don't see us selling any of the new recruits we got in the summer,
Although I heard mentioned that holtby could move in a loan deal to a PL club i'd be all for this. * I know he wasn't a summer recruit *

I just don't see too much happening selling wise or buying wise. And it makes me nervous with the likes of Man U probably strengthening with 1 or 2 more exceptional talents like mata before the end of jan. And the likes of Liverpool probably sorting out a holding mid cover or defence. Which I think is their only weakness.

And to top it off the oil rich clubs of Chelsea and city will just buy the biggest and best names available to keep plowing ahead.

Whilst arsenal don't need much other than a striker. But I don't think that will damage their position to much if giroud goes down for an extended period.

The bright points of Sherwood being here is definitely the goal scoring seems to be doing well.
And the rise of young bentaleb.

Sorry for a huge bit.

I think the vucinic deal may be back on as the spurs officials are flying out to juventus, I still don't know what to think of him as adebayor has stepped up and soldado will more than likely be left out the squad. Hopefully they don't let lamela go back to Italy as Tim Sherwood is very good with the youngsters so hopefully he may be a bit like bale in a couple of years? Any news on the vucinic deal yet Ed's?

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Or Berardi perhaps? More in the Levy ideal, young with a possible sell on fee.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - There will be a number of clubs to be visited in the coming days and sales are on the agenda as well as purchases.}

Ed 2 you think we will actually buy this window? I don't see it myself. Not from a monetary respect. But I've not heard a single link to a LB and I think that's top priority. Wether it's to replace rose as 1st choice or to have another youngster to have them duke it out for the LB spot.
A young striker maybe. But I'm skeptical.

And sales. Who do we think could be on the way out? I really don't see Capoue or chadli being sold so soon. Lamela won't be given up on for a good year or two maybe longer. And holtbys misses just moved in to England to be with holtby. Unless he's going on loan to a pl team. The odd one out could be siggy?

And please dear god let the guarin and vucnic rumours be absolute bullcrap

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Yes, Spurs will buy.}

Hi All
Well the last week of the transfers all rumours will stop for a couple of weeks then it will all start again with the papers and all the TV pundits having a go at what the clubs have signed, and who will be sold and signed in the next window.
Now my take on 1 of todays rumours.
Holtby to PSV, Shalker or Italy this seems to be either his agent or the media he has just moved into a new house and his girlfriend has just moved over permanently so she has tweeted, he is only in his early 20's and TS would be silly to sell someone of his ability I can see GS going to Liverpool as Rodgers still likes him and having missed out on his other targets might try and get him.
As before only my take on this.

I hope your right as I think losing Holtby would become a huge mistake. He has so much talent and could become a top player for us.
