Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

These idiots used to just play FM and be satisfied now they have found social media and think everyone wants to know what they think. Bet they haven’t even been to a match to watch these players live and just live off YouTube highlights.

TBH it's more "FIFA Ultimate Team" culture.

"Maaate jus buy Ronaldo for 80 mil credits and put him wiv Bruno for max squad chemistry init"
 
Mbeumo apparently prefers to sign for Utd. Utd want him and apparently both parties have verbally agreed on the contract terms, so why hasn't he signed?
Holiday or waiting for Frank conformation at The Lane?

Man U allegedly made 2 bids.... Both been refused.


It was also said that Man U hadn't met Mbeumo's wage demands............. Yet (?).
 
wtf???

Football is so weird now.

Social media has warped everyone's minds.

proper deflating this if its true, looks to be a serious waste of money, i hope im wrong but i just do not see it with this kid, hes levels below what we need. if frank can actually polish this turd then he really is something else!

its funny how when you ask these fans why they think tel looks promising they cant give you one reason! yet people who actually understand football can list of a multitude of reasons why he doesnt.
 
All we need is some highly experienced heads (proven internationals/Champions league experience) amongst our young squad to help with the demands of 25/26 season

Someone like Aymeric Laporte in Defence - still playing for the Spanish national team yet plays in Saudi so is very gettable always a solid performer

CM - Joao Paulinha - proven international enforcer massive hit in the premier league not really been given much of a run in the Bayern first team since he moved from Fulham due to the form of Pavlovic and Kimmich

LW - the Leroy Sane rumour mill just keeps gathering pace and he would be a serious upgrade on Son

CF - Dusan Vlahovic - with Paratici coming back into the club and his links to Juventus and the fact he has been recommended before plus the supposed 20 million price tag whats not to like

These 4 players are just examples of very gettable targets without breaking the bank with the kind of experience needed to compete and compliment the current Spurs squad

I really hope the board do not waste big money on Brian Mbuemo

May as well get in on the predictions and see how far off the mark I am come end of the window.

IN's:
- Semenyo
- Nathan Collins
- KWP
- Wissa (maybe)
- Tel (already likely agreed)

OUT's:
- Romero
- Richarlison
- Bissouma
- Davies (maybe for extra cash)
 
We could probably get Romero to stay if we showed him we were seriously trying to win things by buying high quality players to improve the team.

He was pissed off last season when we brought in three teenagers and an average striker. He said out loud what a shit window it was.

If we landed Eze, Semenya and a quality DM as well as a couple of high quality kids that would at least show that we were having a crack at building a strong team.

I have a feeling he'll stay another season anyways- there'll be more pressure to sell next summer with only 1yr left on his contract. I feel pretty certain he'll walk on a free eventually if we don't.

If we actually intend to advance in CL while competing in PL next season, it's probably worth eating the 25m or whatever in contract value running it down another year though. I don't really see him signing a new contact with us though no matter what happens. All he has to do is wait getting paid a lot in London and then he gets his pick of free transfer to wherever he wants in Spain.
 
Something to keep in mind:

We used to have Kane and Son, 2 legit world class forwards.

We sold Kane and kept Son long enough that he’s not WC anymore.

We are about to sell our best player and closest player to world class status (Romero) and also likely sell Son.

We will sign mid range punts to replace them both.
