Transfer: 2023 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Edition

Very happy to have the two of them as our main centre-halves for the foreseeable future. Do wish Spurs would sign a strong 3rd option too however. Someone who can fill in for both on either side when needed. Right now Eric Dier is right behind them in the pecking order.

Other than depth for them, assuming the squad is basically healthy, is there really anything they should do this winter, barring a no-brainer move?

With Bissouma/Sarr/Hojbjerg/Bentancur/Maddison/Skipp....that's a strong and deep MF

With Son/Kulu/Richarlison/Johnson, I suppose if you can add a veteran for depth, that's what you do?

Midfield depends. Sarr and Bissouma will be off to AFCON for a couple of games. Hojbjerg might look to leave too?

In attack I think they are fine.

But I don’t think the club should be desperate for signings this January. Limited market makes it difficult to find the right fit.

Forgot about AFCON, right.

Maybe they can still sign more players with "son" in their name...seems to be working rather well.

The Guardian reports that Spurs had an opportunity to sign a player last summer but passed because they believed the players main focus was to leave his current club. My hunch is that it was Raya.

Does Mbappe mean "Son" by chance? LOL

I think that's true. The story said Ange talked to the players and one seemed to just want to leave while the other wanted to come to Spurs, did you see Vicario's quote this week about signing with Spurs?

"“This was what I wanted and I didn’t want to listen to anything else. As soon as I knew there was an opportunity to come here I would have signed in blood, I would have walked from Italy."

Vicario has been another fantastic signing.

I read in the gossip Real Madrid are going to sign Mbappe and Haaland ...
That would be ridiculous and the guy would get 80 goals a season on RM

2 excellent backups for Joselu imo

Arsenal going after Tchouameni and/or Zubimendi to replace Partey.

That’s been the frustrating part. They’ve had much more talent for a while now to where they shouldn’t be staving off relegation. Maybe not top of the table, but a lot of players have come through the squad who can play. It won’t last, but they’ve been fun to watch Eh. Maybe it's cause they...
