Spurs fans here in the Tavern are eager to see their side have the willingness to spend more in January, but departures within their ranks will be the only thing that makes this possible.
Daniel Levy has been a rather cautious owner in recent times with him only providing a substantial amount of cash if he believes it’s a worthy buy, having seen Moussa Sissoko and Davinson Sanchez join the club.
Although this isn’t how it’s always worked out, much to the frustration of those propping up our bar.
However, the only players that seem to be departing this Tottenham side are ones of the highest calibre, with Gareth Bale and now a few of their current stars linked with moves away, such has been the rapid nature of their improvement under Mauricio Pochettino.
But it’s been the lacklustre performances in the Premier League of late that have really highlighted some of the players who just aren’t cutting it in North London, suffering a fairly dreadful run of form by their lofty standards.
The Lilywhites here in the Tavern are convinced that their side would be better off if they didn’t have to give minutes to a couple of disappointing performers.
Nevertheless, with Spurs left with no room for error, Pochettino must offload these TWO flops in January.
Fernando Llorente
The former Swansea City striker has been one of the worst pieces of business for Spurs since Kevin-Prince Boateng, after putting in some of the worst performances ever witnessed in the white shirt. Sounds dramatic, but he’s been that bad.
With all his experience you’d think he’d find a way to perform, but with a terrible goal-scoring record in the 18+ appearances for the side so far, he’s become a laughingstock down Wembley way.
Nevertheless, with Mauricio Pochettino aware of the mistake that he’s made, surely he has no other option but to sell the striker.
Georges-Kevin N’Koudou
After signing from Olympique Lyonaisse as one of France’s hottest young talents, everyone thought that Tottenham had purchased a future star, but since putting the white shirt over his head, he’s been less than convincing.
His 5+ performances this season just go to highlight his lack of importance to the side, but who can blame him with the likes of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Harry Kane in the pecking order ahead of him,
Nevertheless, the Frenchman’s performances this season have been nothing more than average, meaning a transfer window exit or maybe even possibly a loan-deal could get him off their hands.
Spurs fans, thoughts?
