Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Obviously we post our opinions on here and that is mostly all they can ever be , yet we are as entrenched as Joe Public was over Brexit . If Levy ever sells to a philanthropic owner I wonder what hill we will all choose to die on instead
 
You do know a transfer is more than just shouting a number in the general direction of the other team though?

Were we in touch with Palace about Guehi in 2022? Maybe we spoke to Chelsea about him in 2019? More likely, we spoke to Palace and / or his agent earlier in the window and negotiations carried on longer than we’d have hoped. Maybe, we’d been given the go ahead if Palace had got their replacement that they’d been speaking to over the line, but that didn’t happen as the club they were signing from didn’t get their replacement in. Because, transfers = difficult.

Even more likely, we didn’t make an offer at all, it was just paper talk.

I’d say all these are more likely than the owner of a football club just being tricksy to try to get some positive PR. You’d agree if you weren’t so blinded by your dislike for the man.

Pretty sure CPs owener said there was no bid.

If I was a click-farmer; I'd defo make up a bunch of deadline day stories to jazz up my stats....... Esp. as it's the last chance to do so for another 4/5 months.

After finishing 17th the season before?

Mate,you're turning into John T by the day.

no obv not, but they improved massively through coaching and tactical set up.

2, we were obv a better squad than 17th

3. we've brought one in , it's clear we wanted to do MGW quickly, hopefully will still happen

4. Ideally we'll get a 6 and some LB cover too.

this place needs a signing for all of our sake, this thread is becoming very toxic and bitty.

I’m not turning into anyone mate,

It’s very simple with me, I’m going to back Spurs players and Spurs managers during the season but it’s also very obvious to me that our owners aren’t really trying to compete in the transfer market with the biggest clubs.

Coaching can make a difference and just by the nature of our younger players being a year older, our squad will be much better than 17th this season.

Thats got fuck all to do with Liverpool having a PL and CL winning squad and not needing to really add much to it.
 
You think 17th is it’s true value?

Reality is that even with Ange we would have regressed to the mean. That’s just a statistical fact. With a coach who actually coaches, we will make significant progress even with no new signings.

Obviously some quality signings on top are welcome! Kudus and MGW
I think they are better than 17th when it comes to talent.

But probably about right when it comes to application and effort. Maybe a position or two lower.
 
Is the window over or do we still have some time?

People please allow at least the window to happen before we get to the point of fighting each other. Yes Liverpool have come out swinging……. Difference is they have a coach who knows the team etc.

Yes we have been here before and can look back if it’s the same and say told you so.

BUT why not just see what happens before deciding that you’re going to use all your energy getting fucked off again.

Not saying I believe, not saying I don’t. Just saying let’s see.

We all hated last season until a miracle happened and we all then bathed in its glory.

Let’s see……. (Then one side can get a proper Peter and they have no where to run……. Which side that will be………. There’s the fun!!)
 
The strength at the top carries the day for them, as it did in real life.

We score 1 more goal than them.
We conceded 2 more than them (inc. 7 conceded after the title was already lost....... Had a better tally of both when we left Stamford Bridge on match day 36).

Drew 1 more, lost 3 more.

.....Yet finished 11 points behind (potential 9 point swing head to head).

Tells me that style of play won out.... We lost a number of games trying to win them, whilst they scraped a lot 1-0s and draws in the last 1/3 of the season.

What's the max they could possibly pay? would struggle to get to 20M?

I love the move for Sonny just worry what they could stump up

In all honesty, with what Sonny has given us I think if he wants the move we take the £20m. I know £50m does us a massive favour but I think he's completely earned the right to go wherever he wishes after the impact he's made.

£20m, he can join Hugo for a couple of seasons, bow out and enjoy the twilight of his career. No issue with the fee at all.
