Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

That's the saddest thing I've read in this whole thread

:pochcry:

Unfortunately though it's accurate.

Absolutely noting about our recruitment indicates we want to be a serious player on the pitch.

The real issue is that we've far more going on off the pitch in terms of revenue streams than any other Club worldwide.

We thought this would see more investment on the pitch but that simply hasn't happened and Levy has continued to manipulate the fan base.

Our premise is commercial before football and it shows, nothing will ever change with this ownership and he has the gall to claim fans will miss him when he's gone.

Astonishing.
 
Can see the club looking for a 10 that doubles as an 8 or a left winger. Guessing that was the idea with MGW. Such a fucking awkward position that we seemed to end up in last year, multiple injuries to players that play in the same position constantly. Depending on the severity of the Maddison injury whoever it is has free reign on the role for at least 4 months until Deki comes back. Do think there's a confidence in the club we'll get a 10 in seeing as Mikey Moore (completely not ready yet I know) left.
 
You clearly were not there so I will give you a free pass for basing your views on the data available.

Spurs won the F.A. Cup in 1991 having beaten Woolwich in the semi final and preventing them from doing the double.

During the 91 / 92 season Spurs were League Cup semi finalists, losing to Forest, and reached the quarter final of the European Cup Winners Cup losing to Feyenoord. It was Lineker and Gascoigne's final season at the club, although Gascoigne missed the whole season with his injured knee. The transition began in the 92 / 93 season which I covered in a previous post.

The point is; Spurs were still there or thereabouts during this period. You just fail to understand that.

The top four was not a thing in the early 90's and that is why you can't comprehend what I am attempting to explain to you.

English teams were only allowed back in to Europe during season 91 / 92. Because Spurs were one of those teams competing in Europe it didn't feel like Spurs were shit. I know this because I went home and away at home and abroad.

Splitting hairs my arse.

I was certainly there.

I suggest your post above is to avoid your embarrassment at not knowing how big the decline in Spurs overall squad quality was during the 90's disguised by peaks such as winning League Cup in 1999.

And whilst we were never a League team, we sure didn't have such a poor run of league positions from about 1992 to 2004 back in our peak days.

So I guess that also means you were not as joyful at our return to europe under Jol and missed out on the exultation I and other Spurs fans felt at a great away win v Besiktas in our first match back in europe (bar 2 under Graham) for many a year. Billy Nick used to say 'if we're not in Europe, we're nothing' but maybe you were not around to hear that

We are probably looking for a 10 that can play as an 8 , left winger ,left back , centre back and can also do a bit of brick laying , tiling and electrics too

Added bonus if they know how to operate a go kart
 
Wait you're the guy that stated we never know our signings until the last minute because we always keep it under wraps right? Then you asked me to name instances in the last 2 years where that never happened and were linked to the players weeks prior...then you ghosted when I gave like 8 examples.

Newcastle have no chance of getting Sesko? What?
Between Newcastle and United, who do you think Sesko will choose? Newcastle stand no chance. That's just where they are in the pecking order. And yes, we do keep things under wraps for the most part. The examples you gave were journos taking a punt on 286 potential signings and we end up signing one of them. Wouldn't call that the club leaking info.
