I can see him letting Bigi go when his loan expires, is it the end of this month ?
It's grape vine stuff... But Mogga might be in for a loan move of Spurs kid who has just come back from Rangers. He was a prime target for him back in pre season.
I wouldn't mind seeing Matthew Pennington back
remember when grendel maintained we wouldnt miss reda
Yes, the bizarre nostalgia for former loanees is odd. It was a terrible season last year and Pennington looked slightly better than the players around him.Peoples' fixation with Pennington seems rather disconcerting. Firstly, he is nothing in the mould of the CB we need. We need a big bully-type defender to add a bit of presence at the back. Secondly, to suggest playing him at RB? He wasn't really very good at RB at all. It would be a horrendous waste of a squad/loan place for me.

We should never have resigned him and spent on a more reliable alternative.
Spurs snapping up the youngsters is a repeat of their plan from 10 years ago when they signed players like Dawson and Davenport and a dozen others. That didn't work out so well, iirc. But when players like Alli pop up I guess it makes people think. For too long the foreign legion have been brought in, to the detriment of English talent. As much as I would hate to see Maddison go, I do have a romantic notion about players from lower leagues making it to the top. Can only be good for English football if money drips down and talent climbs up.
To note the transfer window closes at 11pm in England on Monday, February 1, 2016.
So something should happen today considering it is the last Thursday of the window.

I'm sure there must be suitable players out there, and I'm all for Mowbray's careful considered approach in the market but I think not filling our obvious needs (big defender and striker) has cost us dearly the last 3 games.
True, but if TM was allowed money to buy two or three players on a permanent then we probably wouldn't need any more loans.wouldn't be very wise though would it, using up another loan spot with a player already here
It's seems very odd that his most recent loans have been midfield - the one area we have options.
