I’m assuming this has been moved by the mods as it’s kind of morphed into general discussion about the state of our squad and what we need/like to do in the transfer window. And there were a few posters requesting somewhere to chat generally about signings.

Or it could be a mistake or moved just to fuck with our heads :D.

Almost. People were posting ITK and then the thread became a discussion about transfers so its in here for now, meanwhile, some of the ITK stuff has been deleted, but that's ongoing and this is exactly why we won't have a transfer thread outside of this part of the site, it's hard enough keeping track of it in one place without having it anywhere else.

So people can relax, put away their toilet rolls and have a cuppa. That's the only reason this thread has been moved.

Jesus.

“ (On Kane injury) That’s life, that’s football. Of course, bad news but we have to be positive and look to the good news. Good news is that before the end of the month we have two new players, Lloris and Ben Davies. This is good news. Lloris never played a game for me, Ben played one, and very, very well in a system we were trying to develop which was only possible with him because he’s the one left-back that can play in that inside position because Danny Rose is a pure left-back, Jan Vertonghen is not a left-back and Ryan Sessegnon is learning how to be a left-back. So Ben is very important for our project. So it’s good news.

Interesting point on Davies. He was very good before injury vs West Ham. Was hoping Jan could step in but it didn't pan out that way.

José Mourinho is looking for #thfc to sign a right-back, centre-back, central midfielder and target man this month. [The Times].

Good luck with that José!
he clearly spent to much time with abramovich and woodward, levy is the antithesis to them, he would be lucky to even get 1

Jose talking about this as a window of opportunities and to be reactive suggests that nothing will happen until the last few days, if at all. It's a big gamble that could go either way, although more weighted towards us ending up short.

It also means we could go a few more games without replacing Kane.

Been clever he keeps saying it’s up to the boss to improve the squad he’s there to improve what they have. Think he’s gone in under estimating how shit we actually are.. which with our squad on paper is easily done tbh and now deep down he’s 100% like we need 4 players ASAP. This window is literally on Levy and how much he wants top 4 to keep the club as valuable as possible.

"Liverpool needed a goalkeeper, did they go to an old goalkeeper? Did they go to a young goalkeeper? Someone to compete with Mignolet or Karius? No. They went to one of the three best goalkeepers in the world.

"How many windows they needed to resolve that? One. Depends on the situation.

"We are a different club, we have to do it in a different way.

"Time compensates transfer windows. Amazing transfer windows you need less time. Balance transfer windows you need more time."



I really don't understand what's in this for José's reputation. Where has this different way gotten us?

I actually think he wanted to prove the football world wrong that he’s only a chequebook manager.

Only Spurs though could appoint one of the worlds most successful managers and get him to operate in our “different” way on a shoe string budget.
