A Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links January 1, 2016

Happy Friday and New Year, Spursland!

Hopefully this morning finds you well, not various states of disrepair; but even if you are reading this on your mobile from your neighbor's bushes, covered in urine and blood, it a joyous time. Yes, it's 2016, but not only are we ushering in a new year today, it's the official start of the January transfer window! [Editor's note: the transfer window actually opens on Saturday, January 2. Which is probably good because nobody wants transfers happening while people are still hung over.]

In honor of the journalistic charade of transfer rumors hitting peak #batcountry, I offer this song.

Enjoy, relax, and happiest of New Year's to you.

COYS!

Why go for that petulant, young talent when the likes of Kevin Phillips are out there? So he's retired, big deal. That's a haircut and scoring record you can set your watch to. Top signing.

Your scouts didn't die for this, Liverpool.
