Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I see Sunderland have signed a half decent left back today.

Does this mean Cirkin is incoming with Walker Peters?

ENIC have turned a generation of our fans into bean counters more interested in spreadsheets than football
We have a handful on here who actually don't want us to spend serious money buying better players,. It's bizarre.
Growing up I and every Spurs fan I knew got a rush of excitement when we signed the likes of Gazza, Lineker, Klinsmann, Ginola etc....Ardiles and Villa before that.
It's like they feel more comfortable looking up to our biggest rivals rather than competing with them
 
We really need an elite center forward Tel is not a Centerforward if we assume Son moves on the probably Tel is part of his rotation. Richarlison isn't robust enough. We should go big Oshimen, Ekitike ( I've got serious reservations about but will defer )Gyokeres. We are in the fucking champions league.
 
I've read abramovic was one of the original instigators of ffp..
Makes sense....FFP/PSR was tailored to allow all the usual suspects to maintain their financial superiority and make it more difficult for newcomers to catch up regardless of their newfound wealthy owners. Never mind that the big hitters had blatantly broke the spending regs for years leading up to the so called constraints being implemented.

Obvious to most the current rules are not fit for purpose but changes have to be voted in and always dependant on self interests.

I know exactly what you mean but;

I have to say that apart from the Bournemouth left back that Liverpool have signed the fees asked for players like Eze and Cunha represent a huge risk.

A lot of players seem to flake out once they are awarded big contracts in the modern era.

It's a real problem in modern football; not just Spurs.

I'm really not that bothered if we miss out on any of the players we have been linked with.

Does Eze really improve our starting 11?

Couldn’t agree more. Some Spurs fans will never cease to amaze me at their ability to delude themselves into thinking we can’t improve on a player.

City, Woolwich, Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle, even Villa and United wouldn’t have him anywhere near their main striker.
So why should we? These are the clubs we want to compete with right? Our chairman said so. “We want to win the Premier League. We want to win the Champions League.”

Solanke is a great worker and seems a top bloke, but when you pay 65 million for a striker I’m sorry you need more than that.

I mean Bournemouth replaced him with Evanilson, who cost half the price, scored more goals and came from, yep, the Portuguese League, yet people were slating me yesterday for saying Viktor Gyokeres would be an upgrade on Solanke. :franksmile:
a lot of fans try to big up some of the boys just for the sake of it but would be on here laughing if our rivals had bought the same player for the fees we paid.
