There is also a world where Spurs are going to be accused of buying quantity over quality again.
I dream of a January window where we only buy one player and their name is Andersen, Wharton or Rogers.

I went to Donetsk in 2012 for the Euro's. What tended to happen with the older Parker was that he came out the blocks at the start of the season and was all action. In the second half of the season he was way more reserved and couldn't do much apart from doing his famous pirouettes in the centre circle. By the time I saw him him in Donetsk in the summer of 2012 he looked like the fatigue had really set in. He then had his summer rest and got going again in the 12/13 season but faded badly after Xmas. We had a great start to that season from memory.
I really wanted the guy when he left Charlton. I'd have loved to have seen him have a long career with us. I didn't care so much for the older version after he had rejected us multiple times and always taken the money. Don't blame him I guess. It's a short career.
Must be Friedel but he was signed in 2011

I think it depends how you look at it. They're mostly all squad fillers and there was always that bad taste left because we didn't buy higher quality. When I look through that list I see Friedel, Naybet, Gallas, Parker and Davids that were 1st team regulars for a short period of our history.
We've often had our squad cluttered with these types of players blocking a path for a younger squad player.

I like 90s retro as much as anyone, but this feels way too much like Gerry Francis signing Clive Wilson

Perisic and Bale #2 are underrated, IMO. Perisic's ACL injury hit us bad - we could really have used his experience and quality that season.
Bale #2 was just not what the manager wanted, but when we got him playing to his strengths he was quality.

Damn. I cannot remember Jimmy Walker for the life of me. No recollection of this guy, and I’m usually quite rainman-oriented when it comes to these things. Weird.

One of my best mates was a Walsall fan. I knew about Jimmy way before the Spurs tenure. My mate never stopped banging on about him.

Yep, a very random one. Joined as 3rd choice goalkeeper. I think I remember hearing Peter Crouch talk about him on his podcast a couple of years ago, saying he was one of the best characters in the dressing room and although no one knew about him he was one of the most important people in the squad that season (2009/10, when we beat Emirates Marketing Project to 4th)

Hahahaha! That’s ridiculous. I wish more people have Jimmy Walker stories. What a legend.

Redknapp bumped into in a bar and thought he was 'a good lad', so offered him a 1 year 4th GK contract. I dont think he ever made the bench

With the one minor difference being that Robertson has won every major honour at club level.
