Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I would absolutely cash in on Son this window if there’s anything to those Saudi rumours. Absolute legend, great way to bow out by winning the cup. Moving on Son and Werner would free up our wage bill significantly and if we play this right with UCL football and wages available we could attract some absolute top talent.

Moving on Werner doesn't do anything for us wage wise because it's a short term loan in which his sslary would have been accounted for.

We've currently got Romero, VdV, Dragusin, Danso, and will have Vuskovic, Phillips, and Dorrington returning from loan.

Unless we get a guy coming in to play a back three, we'll have to thin the herd somehow in order to actually get the younger players some game time. So I think we could easily consider Guehi a replacement as a starter, with Danso rotating in. Would have to see Dragusin under another manager to be convinced he's worth keeping here, as he looks no more effective than his counterpart Chiriches so far

Most of those players have never kicked a ball for the club, only 3 of them have proven any sort of worth in the premier league.

We finished 17th, a place above relegation. The manager whinged about injuries for half the season.

Its a squad game.

Don't think missing out on Cardoso would be the end of the world, put that 25% sell on fee towards another CDM.

I think Nmecha from Dortmund would be a great fit personally, or test the water with Douglas Luiz as he doesn't seem settled in Italy.

That's why there's currently 4 players in front of them. But they're never going to 'kick a ball' until they do.

Wasn't this argument proved to be redundant when Kane was kept as third choice striker for the season by AVB?

I’d imagine Vuskovic will be going on a few more loans before starting for us. Can see Phillips and Dorrington going out again to a higher level too.

Wingbacks playing fullback. Strong CB depth. Lack of midfield quality.

Won't be popular, but switching to a back 3/5 would solve a lot of squad problems.

Exactly. Its a funny game where its impossible to please fans really around these windows. My opinion is for any player we buy, we should be selling one just not to be blocking the way for our academy lads. Example Bissouma and Richarlison should be sold if we sign a CDM and a forward. Ben Davies should go if we sign another centre back.

Kane is the best example. I'm guessing the club showed "no ambition" that Summer by not signing a forward to start ahead of Soldado and Adebayor.
