good playerI wouldn't mind us going for Julian Weigl from BVB. Great talent in defensive midfield, 23 years old, have fallen out of starting 11. Would maybe be up for a move. Don't know if he is cup tied.

Then we are stuck mate because that is frankly not the way a club with ambition and a new stadium to fill can operate.
Yesterday in the Trippier thread I said he was shit and that I would play Aurier and KWP, I wasn't banging on about full backs, I've consistently said we need cm's. Son has played up front most of this season, he also has played there every other time Kane has been injured and has been quality. So now Son isn't a striker because he plays on the wing aswell lol okay this has run its course.
Upgrading them how, by spending 60 million on Wilson? Yeah let's spend 60 million on a 3rd choice stricker rather than 60 million on a cm/dm. To me it makes 0 sense adding quality to areas you already have quality, before sorting out the areas you lack it.
Been saying the same thing since yesterday, cm always been my priority, also would upgrade trippier before splashing out on a striker who isn't going to play, but I'm happy with Aurier and Kwp for the rest of season.Son isn’t a striker....he’s an AM
Lol at the RB backtrack
That quote sums up the last few seasons for me, we're so close under Poch it's tangible - everyone can see it and I think that's why some get so worked up over the transfer policy etc....It is curious though because we sit between cusp of glory and disappointment once again.

Son has played upfront majority of this season and has been banging in goals for fun, he has also filled in for Kane up front every other time he;s been out and scored bags of goals, he plays everywhere across the front line this is just a fact, don't know how you're arguing with that.
We need a striker.
Despite losing 1 game out of 14 in the league that Kane hasn't started and beating Guardiola's City and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 30 years.
I thought Van Dike made a difference to Liverpool when he was bought in january.Me neither.
Insert a name of another player.
I used to live in the fantasy that a January signing or two could come in and significantly change the fortune of a team. And yes it's been done and it's great to see.
But when wa the last time it happened in the PL and when was the the last time it happened at Spurs.
HUGO LLORIS KNOWS NOTHING.

We are where we are though; we're building one of the most amazing stadiums in the world (which cannot come soon enough) and regardless of what Levy has said in the past, it will surely have a direct impact on our transfer dealings in the short-term, especially given all of the delays/ issues.
The injury to Kane has come at a bad time with Son off - hopefully, the rest of the squad are able to step up because I can't see us getting any "sensible" business done in January; Poch won't sanction any panic buys or stop-gaps and there's no guarantee they'd integrate quickly enough to make a difference anyway.
I'm not trying to come across all high and mighty - I've had plenty of deadline-day meltdowns on here over the years, but as much as I'd love us to sign a CM & backup striker/ WF this window, I know better than to get my hopes up.
Maybe it is as much to do with Levy's style of negotiation. I certainly think it's a huge factor....Is it not more that peeps believe that an option of said quality is nigh on impossible to attain given the market and our current lack of cash flow?
These guys are property developers. They're in it for themselves. All they want is to sell that fucking stadium for roughly £2bn.The stadium *is* the ambition.
He’s hardly likely to say “lads we’re fucked” is he?
He doesn't have to say anything at all.
I'm willing to agree with him considering the facts are that we perform no different without either of them.
15 points from our next 5 games. The league is so wank outside the top 6 that we could probably do that without Alderweireld and Eriksen too.
AM is the same as upfront nowSon plays up front as an AM
Son has played up front his entire career. He’s an AM and that’s where they play.
AM is the same as upfront now
Son has been playing up front as an AM
You've lost it
We've been playing 2 up top, Kane and son
Last year when Kane was injured, we were playing a 4-2-3-1 and in his absence son went up front and was quality

We are depleted all over the pitch though. And Lloris himself isn’t exactly in scintillating form.He doesn't have to say anything at all.
