Tottenham Hotspur’s season has hit a stumbling block and if matters weren’t already reaching crisis point, fans have been left fuming by their latest transfer news ahead of a huge summer window.
Jose Mourinho’s men have lost three successive matches in all competitions and continue to suffer in the absence of a trio of usual starters in Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Moussa Sissoko.
According to The Sun, Spurs are prepared to launch a ‘shock’ move for Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster with the veteran out of contract at the end of the current season.
This move would have a very similar feel to Chelsea landing Rob Green, Manchester City snatching Scott Carson and United taking Lee Grant – ageing English backups.
And supporters in north London are far from pleased with the link.
Here’s what has been said on social media…
Some members of the Spurs faithful couldn’t believe they were linked with the Hornets shot-stopper – one supporter simply said “just no” while another asked that they “delete” the club for considering such a move.
Both Nick Pope of Burnley and Dean Henderson of Sheffield United were two names suggested that they should go for instead.

“This is a joke” summed up the general opinion, though.
Others seem to have a bone to pick with the 36-year-old, one that clearly hasn’t left the minds of many as they know all too well about his ‘timewasting’ talents.
“Buy him for the bench,” one man joked with another sarcastically saying it would be a “waste of time” signing him.
Foster has played 354 times in the top-flight according to Transfermarkt’s recorded matches where he has conceded 500 goals and kept only 90 clean sheets, but then again, he’s played whole seasons for Birmingham City, West Brom and Watford – hardly top four contenders.
In addition, other fans used the opportunity to slam chairman Daniel Levy and his spending – or lack of.
“Bargain basement shopping” was one cry while another claimed they are more likely to end up with a pint of fosters than the goalkeeper.
A further member of the Spurs faithful blasted it for being “another embarrassing Levy signing.”
