I think you forget Xmas pre dates jan transfer window…. So we got no chance of getting what we want or need in Jan. we all know levy well by now if Conte delays a contract offer then he won’t spend a penny in Jan.
If he does it will be a Poundland shop Andy what we A.C. need.
On the question of how Dier has kept his place....look at the alternatives. Tanganga showed today why he gets nowhere near our first 11. Sanchez can have his decent moments but often can't control his own legs....
At least one CB in January to make our starting back 3 consist of Romero, new CB, and Lenglet and I'd be ok with that. Davies, Dier and Sanchez are just about ok as backup options.
I’d even take Maguire over Dier at the moment
The defence is horrendous Sandy

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is Don. Completely undermining the rest of the team.
Surely the club must see that a big spend on CBs is now a must. A bit like Liverpool did a few years back, when they had the same problem.
As far as Centre Backs go Tanganga and Sanchez are not good enough and need binning off and replacing with top class. Dier is a utility defender and should not be first choice, he should be kept as a squad player.
Romero / New CB
New first choice CB / Dier
Lenglet / New first choice LCB / Davies
should be our CB options

Id take Maguire over all of them....not seen a great deal from Romero even that suggests they any better.
Way we currently set up maguire would do ok imo.
Any decent CB's on the market?
We need to make those signings very early in Jan. No fkn haggling over a few bob
Shär and Botman look great. Akanji came out of the blue. They are out there. Just need to stop the loyalty towards sub standard spurs players. I'd love them all to be top notch but they are not, never will be, and need to be moved on and upgraded asap. Personally, I'd be in for Skriniar, Bastoni, Pau Torres - they can all defend but a massive trait they all have is they are all good on the ball. Tanganga and Sanchez, sometimes Dier, have distribution issues. This brings on pressure and pressing teams thrive off the fact a mistake is imminent.
With a dominant back three, the rest will take care of itself.
With players returning from injury and defensive replacements in asap, we could have a good run in.
Antonio Conte on #thfc's need to sign central defenders: "With central defenders we are good, we have to continue to work."

He`s not going to come out and say we need some new central defenders, and risk alienating the current mob, when we are still relying on them, and may well be relying on them for the remainder of the season.
Everybody can see we need upgrades at CB, and you can bet they are top of Conte`s shopping list, but it would be stupid to advertise the fact.
Might give them a kick up the jacksy though
If spurs had bought a rwb that conte actually wanted and two ch’s in the summer as was so obviously needed, we would be first or second right now.

LOL as if that would make any difference.
"A massive spend on two quality CBs in January is an absolute must. Bank has to be broken, and that team will be transformed into winners overnight."
***********************
Can you write Levy a letter about this, Sandy?
I do not think it is going to happen.
We've reportedly been after Milan Škriniar for at least a year. Nada has happened (Levy again).
Failing that, we're supposedly after Manuel Ugarte, a Uruguay player I've never heard of.....beware what you wish for, Sandy!
Now about Romero.... if the guy doesn't show up then Levy has got to trade him for someone who does.
And there I would fear a downgrade.
Beware what you wish for, Sandy....Levy can do worse than Dier & Sanchez.... And that's a fact.
BTW.....Perisic showed up today
It’s all well and good blaming the defence but the midfield and attackers were poor in the first half which put more pressure on the defence.
Standard for this season …shocking first half saved by an excellent second half
Everyone else know as soon as Dier gave that shinner for a corner it was going to be a goal ….?
Called it the mrs (who had no idea what I was ranting about though)

This game seemed to be in slow motion after watching the World Cup.
Not a Spurs fan but let's give credit where credit is due.
Spurs, after going behind 2-0, coulda/shoulda won this game in the closing minutes. They never gave up, like some other PL teams would have done!

Dier was horrendous. Backed off for the first goal, and contributed to the second goal with an absolute howle of a supposed clearance. Tanganga was out of his depth.
Defence were 100 per cent at fault. They are all useless.
