I’ve trawled through ITK Ticker and removed all my stupid fat finger negs . Apologies to all ITK Posters no offense intended I can assure you. ?

Bit extreme. Banshees of Inishiren was great, though.

We will deffo be in seeking 1 more player after Porro ? with a couple of avenues we can take that we have lined up . Spence will get a loan . We are offering moura out but he’s reluctant to move unless it’s it’s too good not to take . Gill has a lot of intrest and could go that ties on with Lucas . Emerson or doc won’t be leaving as things stand but could change unlikely atm . Japhet needs a loan and that is being mulled over .

The different avenues line is Interesting. Ties in with what Gold was saying about us looking at ether a midfielder or a defender.

If we're no longer looking to loan out Sarr then I can't see another CM coming in, so maybe another defender.

 

[gertrude stein]

These are all good noises. Thanks for the update.
I am guessing Zaniolo has gone cold due to the Italian complexity, but if that allows us to opportunistically reinforce at CB, I think that could season defining. Get it done COYS

 

[arunspurs]

If at all we bring in any player (other than Porro), I expect it to be a summer signing, with us agreeing a deal now for the summer . IMO, Its too late in the window now to see a surprise signing for Jan- we have hardly moved on players.

I think this is just how Levy works through transfer windows. He believes that Spurs, as the bigger, more financially stable club, hold the power, and as the deadline approaches, the other clubs, be they buying or selling, become more likely to compromise.

You’d think we, as Spurs fans, would be more used to it by now.

We literally just signed Danjuma in the space of about 12 hours. Pieces can fall into place quickly at the end of a window.

I think it’s more more general re midfielder , for example we know one of the avenues is Zaniolo

 

[Japhet]

WLB's info has Zaniolo 'last minute.com' written all over it. Would prefer a CB personally but getting Zaniolo would be publicly backing Conte so I guess it has it's merits.

 

[Clockspur]

Could the avenues be either Zaniolo or Maddison rather than a CM or a def? - question not directed at the WLB or any ITK obviously

Much more likely to be Zaniolo than Maddison, I don't think the money needed to sign Maddison at this time is available

 

[GetSpurredOn]

“Avenues we can take”, suggests Zainolo is not dead in the water, especially now Bournemouth have found the benchmark fee wise. Suspect this ties in with our apparent openness to let Moura and/or Gil go too.

 

[McFlash]

We were told the stadium would be a game changer - Hasn't happened
Paratici would be a game changer - Hasn't happened
And the pulling power of our recent managers would be another game changer.
But guess what ?

There are several other threads that this post could go in but this is definitely not the thread for it.

 

[Tiffers]

There have been many changes over the past 15 months but I do accept that they may not have all been for the good

much prefer to wait for Maddison rather than have Zaniola who it seems doesn't really want to come here

I suspect that the lack of information/leaks is about running a tighter ship than it is about lack of deals being negotiated. everything points to 2-3 in and several out.
