Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Lyon now relegated they have to sell (in financial trouble) we can get a very good deal...

Id assume Tel is future betting on his ceiling, still raw but has had some good experience at high level with Bayern
Exactly.

So we'd be signing him not because he's a valued target who we've long admired and helps push us up a level......But because ' we can get a very good deal'

This is our modus operandi. It's how we operate. This is the core value of ENIC's transfer policy. Sniffing around for special deals, bargains and crass exploitation.

It's absolutely disgusting.

Hi John Thomas

You still haven’t told us all why you disappeared after our glorious European trophy win, didn’t celebrate it at all on here, and posted as if it never happened when you came back. Not to mention, why the name change?

We could legitimately sign Mikautadze from a relegated Lyon side in financial straits, using only the profits from selling Manor Solomon who we signed for free from a club that lost him because of a war.

Genius when you think about it.
 
I know, a tiny part of me thought maybe the rhetoric has changed but I have wised up - it will be more of the same with punts and low wages.
When he said he wanted to win the league and CL he didn't specify what year did he - prob building towards a tilt in 2032
I think 2032 is a bit optimistic. I've been waiting since I was 18 for us to be in another FA Cup final. You can work out how old I am now.
 
Rejecting a Tielemans deal is not the same thing as going an entire summer without signing a player.

It's tautologically obvious that that is a disaster that cannot be allowed to happen under any circumstances and has not ever happened one single other time in the history of the Premier League.

And while that was the big one, the failure to end all failures, it was just the most glaring symptom of an operation that had completely failed and was no longer capable of doing business at a professional level.

The pain-in-the-ass manager who the club hierarchy didn't trust with their money exercising a veto power he shouldn't have had in confusing and arbitrary ways is not an alternative to that problem, it is a constituent part of that problem.

Look, youre correct, but many people point to the failure of not buying someone to Levy.

Levys failure was kowtowing to Poch, and im sure he would have spent some money, even on shit players, even on young players had that not have been the case as buying players for less than you want to hopefully sell them for is good business.

Half following the thread. Didnt poch say he didn't want worse players than he had, we had a amazing squad so better players were elite. So he rejected all that were offered rather than any new players.
 
Let’s hope for some news today to raise our spirits , I don’t even care if it’s a pack of lies that even Boris would shy away from telling . The sun is shining and a heatwave coming , I will settle for some delusion this weekend, some false hope. Monday morning I will get back to the reality of Frank being fucked over before his first training session . Let’s have a link to somebody that will make us feel like , “ I can’t wait to watch this guy play for us”

He did, but I still think its fair to suggest that the club having bought him players he didnt want or like in previous years attributed to his decision.

It was clearly Pochs decision but at some level the club failed to keep the squad fresh
