The January transfer window seemingly can’t come soon enough for some clubs, and Tottenham are certainly one of them.

Spurs currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League table and 11 points off a top-four spot, and after such a poor start to the season, supporters are already counting down to the January transfer window where Bleacher Report report that the north London side will be making moves in order to rebuild their squad to challenge for a Champions League place in the league.
Will Tottenham be active in the January window?Yes! We have to be!No! Daniel Levy won't spend |
Yet despite the encouraging update, lots of Spurs supporters were not too convinced the club will actually follow through on their winter goals of signing a creative midfielder as well as a centre-back, with the Bleacher Report piece claiming the likes of Hakim Ziyech and Dayot Upamecano are all on Tottenham’s radar.
Here’s what Tottenham fans had to say about the club’s January transfer plans on Twitter…
Never gonna happen.

So who leaves the already bloated squad in January to make room for all these signings?

And then spend 18 months integrating them in to the team

Recent form and events off the pitch had seemingly had their effect on Tottenham fans heading into the winter transfer window…
And we’ll end up with a couple of players on loan that I’ll have to look up on football manager to figure out if they’re any good
