In order to mount a strong challenge at the top end of the table in May, I feel that Levy must provide funds to bolster the central defence in the January transfer window. With an injured and ageing Alderweireld, we currently have Sanchez, Dier, Tanganga and Rodon, there is a level of quality, but also a level of inexperience and always the potential for a penalty being given. Hoping Alderweireld will be back and match fit by New Year. When I think back many years to when Edgar Davids was brought in as a strong proven experienced player to bolster the midfield, I’d like to see José supported to bring in a more experienced proven centre back to shore up our defence and provide a level of confidence. January can often be a tough transfer window to buy quality player, but we’ve had plenty of scoops in the past. Really hoping Levy and José are able to attract a solid proven PL defender to help our challenge for the latter half of the season.

I really cannot see Spurs buying any more CBs, they already have more than enough. A really creative midfielder would be first on my list of purchases.

I had a chat with one of the guys, and it is looking like very unlikely we will be getting anyone in Jan as the club has lost £64m last year, and we have 6 players who could play as CB.
It seems the financial loss will impact any such activities.
Jose is looking to coach Rodon into a better CB instead. Coaching has been of the highest order.
During the last summer, a lot of ppl including myself were worried about "leaky" defense, but we now have the BEST defense in the league ?
It's all about coaching. PS: I love the way Fat Frank made a reference to "how much" Spurs spent in the market when asked if he was surprised in how well we are doing? What? Chelsea spent over £200m, and Thiago Silva himself earns 1 month what Rodon earns in a year?? (Quote from Jose).
Come on, fat Frank pull the other one

Hope Sissoko fixes his studs for Saturday's NLD. He kept slipping against Chelsea

He wasn't the only one...We have cheap Nike deals I am afraid

who would they replace in the xi though? ndombele?
Jose likes to play the two holding midfielders and 2 wide players.

The first team squad of players are making it difficult to be dropped, which happens when a club is doing as well as we are.
Right now, the moral is high and also the camaraderie

We have players like Dele, Vinicius etc can't even get into the side?

To me, there’s not much point buying a DM if we can bring back Skipp. That is, unless it’s a ‘Davids’ type signing.
I’m think we’re missing a CB. Sanchez isn’t good enough. A raid on Wolves or Burnley perhaps? (Eg Coady, Tarkowski et al). Or Rudiger? Can imagine Skrinir is out of our budget at this stage given our financial results 🤢

Coady has basically never played CB in a back 4.

Real lack of left footed CBs with champions league experience

Actually depends on the studs he was using on the pitch type. And he slipped the most
