The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[Holy Trinity]

Just had a very random text that had the looky eyes, mind blown and looky eyes again emote from my mate. I get nothing out of him anymore since they shut up the leakers last summer but if he's sending that then we have a mental transfer in the pipeline.

Ones a winger and ones a water carrier so potentially could be. They have so many boring midfielders from what I have seen Bentancur should slot in unnoticed

Gah! You big tease.

Mental? What would that constitute?  Declan Rice mental?

It's great that Gerrard seems to want players who will slot straight in as an upgrade on what we currently have.  He said something about 'style and steel' recently.  We certainly have the style, just the steel to come.  Fingers crossed.

Gary Gardner is coming “home”’!!

Phillips would be my choice but it’s unlikely I think. Rice would be even more unlikely though as in no chance.

If west ham are after Phillips then Rice is off surely?

I take these rumours with a pinch of salt, but I read on one newspaper site that West Ham want to pair Phillips with Rice or have him as a replacement if the latter leaves.  The piece said they are preparing a £50m bid and are willing to buy him injured. 

Given how this season has gone for Leeds, I do think he might have his head turned and it's where I think Gerrard could really be a key factor in persuading players like him to come to the club.

Would it be worth trying to take NDombele off Spuds on a loan with an option to buy as Spuds are desperate to get rid of him? Or is he just a troublemaker/ just over- rated. I genuinely don’t know much about him.

[ozzjim]

I like Ndombele, think he's been poorly used by Spurs and is not Contes type of player, but he's very talented. If we did lose Doug, he'd be good to bring in, but we need a 6 and he's not that.

'Bellingham mental' would be nice.

[Scott Nielsen]

It appears Spudz have reached agreement for Kulusevski, so doubt Juve would be selling 2 players to them would they?

It's a loan with an option to buy, I think. Anyway, Paratici is the one who bought him at Juve so he clearly rates him and, equally clearly, Paratici will have stronger relationships with the Juve hierarchy than most so not so unlikely Spurs might get two from them.

If Rice and or Phillips are genuinely available at around £50m, i would imagine pretty much every club with top 4 aspirations will be in for them.

Brilliant as either would be, we’re just not at that level yet. Would love to be proven wrong, but I think our chance with Phillips went the year we came up and they didn’t.

Precisely.
The same applies to Bissouma.
If there is a chance to get him then I’m sure that chance will be out of our reach in the summer.

That would be amazing. Great player. With the added bonus of watching the meltdown at the sty. They would be the first club in history to "unretire" a shirt.

Oh ok , thanks, I wasn’t sure if he was a DM or not. Agree, we’ve got enough attacking talent in MF already.
