Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Isn't an overall Chelsea wage bill of 172 mi££ion 56 mi33ion more than THFC's?

Spurs are paying out 2/3rds of Chelsea's overall wage bill.

How is that acceptable to any Spurs supporter? :gallashmm:
They have 10 more players than we do, likely even more than that now.

On average, there is a half million difference between what they pay each player per year and what we do. In essence, that's an extra £9.5K per player more.

You think that's unacceptable?

So you have absolutely nothing to base you saying we aren’t in for a right winger this summer got it.

You don’t have to believe every journalist itk or whatever but there are clearly a few who know a thing or two otherwise we would only hear about signings when clubs announce them, which isn’t the case. If basically every journalist is linking us with right wingers I think it’s pretty safe to say we’re in for a right winger .
Nothing whatsoever. Just what I think. Which in most cases, is all anyone of us post on here. You’ve as much idea if we are looking at a right winger as I have that we aren’t. Absolutely fuck all.

But we’ll see. If we sign a right winger (and I mean one that starts for us, not some random from Slovakia), I was wrong. If we don’t? You were. I’m sure we’ll both cope whatever happens.
 
I must be the only one looking forward to next season, probably because I have set my expectations for a top 6 push, lucky if we get a top 4 one tbh.

I'm actually looking forward to see what our new coach can do with our players, it's nice getting players in but I think our current crop have so much untapped potential, call me delusional but I don't care lol.

Transfer window time is shit, most of the stories are made up, I try not to get too involved with them que sara and all that 😎

Why would top 6 be something to look forward to?

Really don’t get the mentality behind that way of thinking
 
It’s crazy to me that people want us to drop 65-70m on Kudus when he’s scored 13 goals and 9 assists in 2 full PL seasons. His end product is worse than Johnson’s and everyone on here bitches about how bad he is all the time

I certainly didn't, i hoped from the start it was a no-go. It's more the worry that if that's where the bar is right now then how much more will it drop?
I think from here it will be a case of signing a couple of punts from nowhere and hope frank develops them. I'm sure bakayoko will be at the top of the list now after kudus. Baka had a relatively poor season but does have some quality and performed well against pl teams when up against them.
At this point id rather struggle for goals this coming season and invest in the defence and cm area instead.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but at least the ambition was there to achieve it.
 
What does he contribute? He doesn’t pass, he doesn’t dribble, he hardly tracks back, he can’t win anything in the air.
I've already listed out his defensive stats in the conversation I had with Deuterz, when I compared him with Bowen. I can't be arsed to dig it up, but it's there.

Brennan Johnson does nothing apart from score tap ins is a myth. Not only was he our top scorer last season, defensively he was also effective. I think only Mbeumo was more effective defensively, as a winger, in the PL, but I haven't done a full comparison on all wingers, so I might be off there.
 
"Invest nothing in the team and collect BILLIONS in growth of the asset value of the club" as "self-sustaining" is such an absurd canard that it's astonishing and disappointing that so many fans fall for it.

We do agree that one business model among those listed clubs stands apart from every single other one. We're together on that point.

They are literally ripping fans off but by the time they take their profits out of the club, there’s nothing the fans can do about it.

Fucking hell lol. Most effective defensive winger in the league. Yeah you got it
