Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Our biggest problem is we leave everything to last minute, by all accounts Liverpool have 3 signings in the bag already.... Time to gel in pre season and intigrate into squad.... That's how it should be done... If we are buying 3 players do it early.... If we are buying 10 players do it early... If Ange is going do it early.... We need to stop doing things arse about face... Get the work done before pre season... I will always be thankful to Ange for giving me the 2nd most excillerating feeling in the last 10 years ( behind the birth of my daughter)... But if it is not to be for him, please God get Glasner in now and buy him who he wants and recommends, and do it before pre season ffs
 
If we want an animal who can play then look no further than Baleba from Brighton. Minteh also from them looks a nightmare to play against in a 1v1 situation. I’d go for Delap too. We need a left back. Finally go and get Eze.

Now we need to find £300 million to fund that 🤣🤣
 
If we get rid of Romero and Porro I'd get Vanderson and Guehi.
Midfield is easy... Gomes and Cardasso for total of 21m
And imagine this:

Cherki. Eze. Simons
David
Probably dreamland but if those 4 didn't worry teams.... And show ambition??
I've seen people on here whether David could be effective in the Premier league... He's quality... I'd have him all day long especially on a free... If not.... Guirassy
 
It's not an impressive list but it's not a shit list either and it's obvious not a list of all Spurs targets this summer.
Rayan Cherki and Maghnes Akliouche could - I repeat could - both become quality WFs in the EP. Cherki certainly have the skills but his attitude has been questioned.
Whether Gomes, Evann Guessand and Jonathan David could become quality EPL players, I doubt...but I wouldn't write them off either.
Gomes and David definately would be quality
 
I don't think Romero is good enough to win us a league title. Guehi would be a good improvement on Danso and Dragusin.

I would also take a decent CDM and Eze. CB and CDM is more of a priority than attacking. It always has been since the Champions League final to be honest.

Still not sure how we ended up with the likes of N'Dombele and Lo Celso as a priority. That's why I need to stress as much as I would like Eze, especially over the likes of Werner and Solomon etc., it is not our priority.
A DM is the priority. This back line cannot function without a top notch DM - they all have strength going forward, but without a DM we can't take advantage of that without leaking ridiculous goals. Predates Ange, as well. It's the biggest need this squad has.

I think we are a decent team with our first choice back 7 starting. But even today we struggled with just one change in DM and one change at CB. In an ideal world I'd buy a CB better than Romero and a DM better than Bissouma to challenge them.

Truth be told we could do with better competition all over the pitch, even from LB to GK. But in general we ought to be prioritising improving on our best 11 defensively, getting rid of deadwood, and only bothering to keep squad players who can play in the Champions League and give a 7/10 performance.

Yeah, I think one of Biss or Betancur needs to go and Cardoso and Hjulmand brought in. My gut says keep Biss, because we still haven't really seen what he could do with a real manager and I suspect he can be closer to what we thought we were getting. Love Betancur, but I think we've seen his best.

Would rather see us scupper the scum's bid for Zubimendi, but too late for that it seems.
 
I'd be interested to know what you all think about Mainoo as well... Apparently he's up for grabs... Not wanted by Man Utd... But always looked good in the English national side... In my humble opinion??
 
Said it before and I'll say it again, we need a new manager, coaching staff, medical team as well as:

- New No 1
- New RB to light a fire under Porro's ass
- New LB x 2
- New CB x 3...of which 2 are starters
- New CM x 2...only Berg from this year starts
- New AM
- New wingers x 3
- New starting CF

Austin, Kinsky, Djed, Kev, Micky, Vusko, Ash, Archie, Sarr, Mads, Brennan, Odobert, Solomon, Mikey, Dom & academy kids can ride the bench...some of them can/should go out on loan (again).

Yang defo needs another loan, ditto Alfie x 2, Jamie & Lanks.

Vic, Romero, Dragusin, Ben, Udogie, Reguilon, Bissouma, Bentancur, Kulu, Richarlison, Timo, Gil, Tel, Dane, Veliz and even Sonny...they can all go (most of whom without my best wishes).

Yeah yeah yeah, not gonna happen, it ain't Football Manager blah blah blah. Doesn't change the fact that MAJOR surgery is required and that it's what happens when your owner & chairman been fucking about for 25 years.
 
So many players that could improve us, even just in the premier league mid table teams. Eze, Muniz, Lacroix, Semenya, Scott, Zarbarnyi, Minteh, Estapenia, Baleba, Mitoma, Mbeumo, Damsgard, Cunha, ait Nouri
