Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It was built on a 10 game run right at the start where no team had a clue how to play against us. As soon as we were found out we plummeted.

My expectations for Frank this season are 5-7th with the squad he has today. My biggest concern is CM, we look very weak in that position whereas Ange in that first year still had PEH and a Bissouma that could give a fuck. We need to buy him a CM

Course it was mate
 
I've got mixed emotions. When you watch him you can see he's a powerful player and he can play different positions. But will he be one of those players who looks great on a highlight reel but doesn't generate production? I think he could go either way. Then again, I'm not as sold on Eze as others are. Maybe the most interesting player out there now is Dibling, but the asking price is now far beyond what Spurs could swing.
I like Dibbling. I know everyone’s down on young players at the moment but I do think he will be very good. A much better player than Kudus. Not as explosive but just a better footballer and he can still dribble very well just a bit more Grealish like
 
The stats don’t lie, we were mid table outside that 10 game run and then 17th the following season. It’s irrefutable

We were garbage, pretty much after the win at Villa in the 2023/24 season.

Absolute cannon fodder to any half decent team, and to many that were less than that.

Frank will be atrocious if he is worse in the PL than Postecoglou, and he won't get as much slack.

He had 2 goals and 0 assists in 33 Prem games - I don’t know what people see in this lad. Would cost £50m plus. Tel had 2 goals and an assist in 13 games for us.

I would be livid if we stumped that up for him rather than £10-£15m more for proven quality

Agreed. The notion of Frank being worse than Ange if we finish 6/7th in this first season would be ridiculous - let’s see what the aggregate league position is over 2 seasons.

Frank is the guy that will bring a bit of stability back whilst developing some younger players. I suspect he will be here a couple of years and hopefully get us a couple of Euro place finishes before Levy pulls the trigger again for the next shiny thing

Hope so mate. Hope so.

Frank needs proper backing though.

He ain't Merlin.
 
Good on you... A lot of people didn't even allow themselves that.
season 2 love GIF
 
It's basically impossible for Frank to be worse than Ange

Not really.

If he’s not finished top 5 and won a trophy after 2 seasons, he will have been objectively worse.

If it’s been 2 top 6 finishes, there is maybe a case that he’s building something solid that could be better but his first 2 seasons will have been worse.

Top 8 this season should and will have Frank in the hot seat. Especially if there is a good option available.
