Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Wasn't he playing #6 at Villa?

Not seen him since he left.

Boubacar Kamara and/or Leander Dendoncker generally sat in behind giving him more license to play box-to-box.

True classy 6's are rare, but the very best teams will almost always have one.

Honestly, Bissouma is that player on his day, the idea that he's out of position there is fake news really, he just doesn't play well 2 out of every 3 games.

Bent wasn’t playing under Jose

We've already established that, it was Conte.

Do keep up.

What's the Craic on here with ITK's and if it's ok to post it. Hercules on spurscommunity says there's truth in this one

Click to shrink...

Use the search feature on here and put in Hercules, Trix or any of the other 'ITK's from SC. They are widely understood to be milking an ever-reducing number of gormless/gullible fans with their 'enter coin to continue' tactics.

They are leaning heavily on the astrology playbook.

Budget Augero. Lmao

Funny, he reminded me of Defoe. Budget Aguero is quite apt.

JD’s ball striking and movement is from another planet entirely.

Four years left on his deal, Bournemouth can hold out for way, way more than he's worth.

Although I really like Semenyo as a player, signing players for big money with four years left on their contract is not usually a smart business move.

 

[JDefoe]

Why does it feel like a Dibling+Kalimuendo+random U23 6 summer…We could’ve done that WITHOUT winning the Europa League. These are midtable targets.

I really hope Lange isn’t stupid enough to believe rocking up to the Bernabeu with “Kalimuendo” is going to scare anyone.

 

[Wild Night]

We need to be going for an experienced , proven rock for our 6 if we are serious about the PL , and CL especially .
Anything else is just airbrushing how serious we are as a club , kids won't work .

Compared to a player you clearly know virtually nothing about.

Convincing analysis, mate.

Yeah, I don't think Bissouma was out of position.. more so that he or any DM we played last year was asked to do an impossible task. Bissouma in a normal midfield setup was the player we were all thrilled we were buying from Brighton.

Some gossip from my mate at the rags. Don't be surprised if Spurs bring in Kyle Walker (the old one, not peters) as some experienced legs for our Champions League squad. His agent is desperate to get him back at Spurs and thinks his similar attributes to Porro would make for perfect rotation.

If he joins, I'd expect his hamstrings to explode on his debut.

Your mate may need to get with the times… he’s already agreed a move to Everton!

Kyle Walker: Everton set to complete shock transfer for England defender from Premier League rivals Man City

Plus: Manchester United have been scouting Nice holding midfielder Hicham Boudaoui; Atletico Madrid have Aston Villas Lucas Digne as an alternative to Liverpools Andy Robertson; Napoli will not match Jack Grealishs Man City wages as they weigh up an offer for the England international

Not a done deal yet.

Since when has Brennan Johnson been a left winger?

Click to shrink...

Johnson did play on the left a few times the first year he arrived here. I still remember he crossed the ball for Kulu to score against city to make it 3-3.

Who have we not signed today?

Someone
Anyone?
No-one

MADDs when fit should be first name on team sheeet outside of the defenders. No one else is as creative or has the ability to beat a man. Anyone thinks otherwise haven’t seen our attacking players plod around. In the final our attacking players were awful could keep the ball or make a pass.

Click to shrink...

As you say when fit... His ankles take a battering each match so it's unlikely we can expect 45+ games from him..
It's a shame but he needs to do something to make his legs stronger so he doesn't keep ending up being injured.
He really adds an extra dimension to our play, and I wish we had more suitable cover for him.
Even if not a direct cover for Madders, we need technical players supremely confident and composed on the ball. I think losing it so easily from attacking positions has cost us dearly both in attacking and getting attacks sprung on us.

 

[bus-conductor]

Semenyo has a good work ethic and is a lively fucker, but I worry about his actual productivity.

Similar attributes? One is fast (or used to be) the other is not. One has great technical ability, the other does not. One can whip in a great cross, the other cannot. One is (or was) a fantastic one on one defender, the other is not.

They are both prone to losing their minds and their man at the back post, so maybe that's what your man is referring to.

 

[Jaynola]

Plenty of experience in the squad last year. A club like Spurs need to blend in youth, too, as they can't afford to buy a whole squad of "experienced" players - unless on buy sub-standard experienced players.
It was also the lack of EPL experience in the coaching staff that caused Spurs' poor league form...

Click to shrink...

Yes, they can.

I'd guess if he's available for free and would take a modest salary - it wouldn't be the worse idea. Know's the champions league. But at 35 have his legs gone?

We clearly need 2 full backs - Davies and Spence aren't really of the quality required. Udogie is injury prone and Porro can't play 60 games next season.

If Spurs don't have much money to spend in this window - Loans / free transfers may dominate our business.
