Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’d take Grealish on loan. He plays with confidence and personality. Doesn’t fit perfectly but Frank is the kind of manager who can adjust. He has something to prove. We need players who can play at a high level in CL which he’s shown. Doesn’t have to solve all our problems to be a worthy addition imo.
 
Gee I'm sure glad we beat Man Utd to that Champions league place it really changed the direction of the two clubs.

We sure finished them off....

Their manager got backed heavily and ours was sacked and replaced by another yes man who is getting zero support.

You couldn't make it up, apart from the fact we've all seen the movie a 1000 times at this point
We are proceeding along the sustainable path.
Utd are treading tbe unsustainable path apparently.
 
Can't say I've seen too much of him in Series A, but he looks like he has really good technique and is quite robust for a 20 year old.

I'm assuming you've seen him quite often, so is the highlight reel indicative of his consistency, or is that just flashes of what he has, with him being anonymous for large parts of the game?

From the little I've seen he looks a proper baller. If that's his consistent level of performance then I'd be quite excited about getting him in, don't care what the cost is.

I’m not super expert on him but watched them because of Dele and he was head and shoulders above everyone

Odd running style as well, which I think doesn't help.

For the price they want, not for me.

Shitty Eurotrash football highlight video music is so back baby

i dont think we've even managed to do bare minimum at this time, the squad is dangerously thin to handle 4 competitions, and as well all know massively low on quality.

we've lost maddison and son, and with that 43 goals and assists from last season. we have no proper left back with Destiny being quite the sicknote which means spence playing out of position and porro playing easily over 40 games

we've had 1 fit CF all pre season, he may return next week but highly unlikely richarlison stays fit for much longer so wouldn't be surprising if we're down to playing Tel out of position at some point again.

I can't quite recall such neglect, last summer was bad but least on paper an improvement on a team that got 5th. The season we signed no one was awful, but at least that starting 11 was strong and not easy to upgrade. oh perhaps its just amplified because we won Europa and qualified for the new CL format with even more financial rewards than usual that it's surprising and bit upsetting to see us act like bums on the level of west ham or brentford

Levy and Lange must have something cooking in the background, no way can they be this incompetent and expect not to have a season of struggles which will just come back on Frank.
Good summary and I hope they have something on the BBQ because we are a couple injuries to a Ronero or Porro away from another season hoping the three promoted clubs are dog shit.

I'd take his mum at this point but no doubt we would have to outbid Rooney.
 
You are very sweet. I really hope for supporters like you we arrive at the long promised sun lit uplands. But here's the bad news. Its not going to happen.

The idea of the slow build narrative husbandry Levy floafed is no longer possible. There's been a paradigm shift, the global ownership state lead interference, streaming platform emergence and capitulation to billionaires by footballs governance means no ones coming to save us.

Sustainability PSR call it what you will, it's never happening the rules based order ENIC thought they would thrive in, by having the most balanced of books was still born. Its midwives were Roman Abramovich then Sheik Mansour . Levy is a man living in a fantasy past but its the fans still peddling the delusion I pity the most. It would be much better if he was honest then allowed people to make an informed choice about what the short to medium looks like for Tottenham.

Instead we get the cucks trying to balance the cognitive dissonance of "We want to win the EPl and ECL" with bids for c list players and a forty percentile wage bill.
Absolutely, I'm fully aware that it will never happen under ENIC. They've come full circle from saving us from problematic owners to becoming the problem.

And the worst thing about sustainability is that they will take longer to leave but, he's not immortal; Levy will go some time.

Edit: I almost missed that personal attack: fuck and your sweet shit! I'm a fucking cunt, but that's Mr Cunt to you! I'll overlook it this time. Don't let it happen again...

Technically a good player and I'm guessing his numbers would pop up when crunching the data. Como and Fabregas has done well to play like a top team so Como's numbers overall look good. I do find Paz a little heavy and would be concerned if he's elegant enough to succeed in England
 

It's important to understand the context with Paz.

Real Madrid have a buyback clause for 9M next summer and 10M the summer after. He is for all intents and purposes their player, even if they don't want to integrate him into their squad they are 100% certain to activate that clause and sell him themselves to book the profit.

He is essentially a Madrid player on loan at Como, except under a weird structure in which Como would also have to agree to a transfer and get paid for their interest in the player.

Even if it weren't Spurs and Levy, this is a nigh-upon-impossible deal to make.
