Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’m open minded to the information in front of me.
Really?!

And there was me thinking you go out of your way to purposely choose the daft option!

- Ange’s sacking
- Transfer requests and mass exodus of players
- No MGW bid
- MGW not pressured in any way into signing new deal
- where possible turn every post into a Levy issue whether it’s related or not

When called out on some of your ridiculous conspiracy theories you double down on them even in the face of overwhelming evidence!

I don’t call that open minded, I call that trolling!

Name one conspiracy theory?
Then list the overwhelming evidence

Your refusal to accept we’d made a bid for MGW and it was made up nonsense for clicks despite information from solid journalists that are renowned for double sourcing their information.

The fact it was covered by numerous outlets including the BBC, Sky Sports etc.

Don’t bother replying I’m not wasting anymore time or energy debating with you. It’s the equivalent of banging your head against a brick wall.
 
Having no European football definitely helped that 5th place finish.

Based on our activity this summer, Frank is going to end up sacking the CL off. Hes just given a press conference saying we have deep attacking options and he likes the squad… so any hopes I had of major surgery to our senior CMs seems pretty optimistic now.

If we don’t shift Bissouma and Bentancur out, with 2 high level, senior replacements coming in, there’s no way we finish in the top 5 and have a deep run in Europe and the cups

I mean Bissouma I can understand.
But to expect that we'd be offloading basically our two only senior CMs in one window - it takes special kind of fantasy to ever expect such thing...

And nor should it be how it goes.
Again - I am not the biggest fan of Bentancur - he is bit of Jack-of-all-trades, but across last 3 seasons he has been our most consistent and best CM. You don't throw out the best option in hope that replacements would work. You bring in the new player(s) to fight and hopefully overtake the position.

The BBC said it.

You still wear a mask don’t you?
 
Shite. But I’d suggest that’s due to general incompetence and lack of urgency, rather than his geographical location.
It’s the optics though, they must realise that fans are expecting more, better signings - so don’t have the team responsible for that off on a tour of the far east where they are contributing what exactly?

Our PR people have to be among the shittest going - is it just interns?
 
Competitively that's true.

The difference is we can be the equals of the teams ahead of us with one stroke of a pen now.

ENIC sells and everything changes overnight.
That's the hope, but how sure can you be it will change in the right direction? We get bought by a fella like Textor and we'll be pining for the good old days of ENIC. The grass is not always greener and I'm hoping that when ENIC sell they'll do a thorough due diligence to ensure it's to a buyer that will take the club forward.

Yeah Levy cheaps out on the PR/Media team like he does everything else. Our YouTube content is trash compared to other PL sides.
 
Only players we should be targeting now should be already established players to improve the squad.
No more potentially good ones are needed at the moment.
