Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Season is fucked already. If the board pulled their finger out earlier we would have playets in and ready to go, which would have made sense coming off our lowest ever prem performance and the worst injury stricken season of all time. I guess none of our surprised now since we have objectively the worst board in the league though.

The major injuries from last season were as a result of an incompetent manager (The Daily Record in Scotland featured an article where Ange admitted Celtic players suffered injuries through his training methods).

We can't just stockpile players as a "what if" situation happened, we have a finite squad size.

I didn't see this post the day after we won the EL, when we had more players out injured than we did prior to kick off against Newcastle today.

Frank and Lange will discuss the options we have, and act accordingly.

Toys back in pram now?

The injuries subsided after the second season when they got used to it.

Also, that wasn't new, happened at every club he was at. That's on the club for not doing due diligence, or if they did, then not giving him a big enough squad to play that way.
 
I think we need to start categorising Maddison in the Richarlison category unfortunately. Long term injuries every season he's been with us. We need to start planning without him and can never rely on him staying fit again.

Basically if he's fit then it's a bonus but we need to plan without him. Same as Richarlison. You just have to assume they'll be injured for most games, because if your expecting them to be available then your always going to fall short.
You don't keep players like that, you sell them.

IF you have a winners mentality.
 
We need the lock picking midfielder more than ever after today, preferably two of them. Eze is there if we pay the fee and wages, but likely won't. Paquets or grealish the cheaper less reliable options.
Then we have the Millot types in Europe.
Either way I have no faith in us getting it right and we still need to shift plenty out , preferably Richy first with a striker replacement coming in, but again doubt we get that right either.
Levy says he wants to win PL & CL but words are cheap, it's action we need.
