Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’d take a team of solankes over a team of Johnsons. Good all around players make things easier for teammates.

The solankes wouldnt score at a high rate but would generate so many chances that goals would come.

The Johnsons wouldn’t be able to even reach the opposition box. They’d maybe get a long ball goal every so often but they’d be permanently against the run of play.

If BJ gets better at areas besides scoring, he could become a winning player, but I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll be cheering for him to do well this season but I’d prefer he not be on the pitch often because from my experience, he’s a miserable watch.
What have I just read?
 
This is one of my biggest issue with this ownership assuming we get Eze. He’d assumingely be more expensive than MGW so why did we waste time this whole time if we had the funds. Does it really take injuries for this ownership to spend? Why didn’t we go for Eze earlier in the summer? If he were to come in now he’d need some time integrating. Mourinho wasn’t kidding when he said Levy prioritizes top 4 finishes over cups.

Because Maddison got a 9 month injury.

Not saying that right or wrong for them to act this way. But that’s the facts.
 
why does this club always wait until injuries to get serious with bringing players in. the cherry on top is that all clubs know we will be desperate with maddison out now.
I don’t know. I’m not on the board. 😂

Don’t ask questions and then get upset with the answers.

We’ve watched the club panic at the end of multiple windows. Asking why they don’t plan and have a clear cut strategy now is mad.

They are still learning the ways of working. They’ve o to had c.50 transfer windows to adapt from mistakes and create a structure and a strategy to plan things properly. By 2050, we should be in a better position - maybe we can toast Joe Lewis’s 125th bday with an early signing
 
No way can I see us getting savio AND eze. Frank's mentioned a few times he wants a smaller squad i think the numbers would be too many unless tel moves up top and richy goes.
I hope im wrong because both of those would be amazing to watch this coming season.
 
Paul okeefe is literally a fraud I know him on a personal level he has zero knowledge about what goes on at Tottenham ,he’s a blagger and a liar .
I mean - I’m not saying he ain’t a fraud - but he is literally the person who had access to the insider/training ground mole that wound Ange up all season.

He clearly has an inside track into the club. It’s just not as big an inside track as he makes out.
 
People who are believing that we are seriously trying for Savinho and Eze need to give their heads a wobble. There is no way we sign both of those players as well as Kudus.
If you believe these rumours the comedown at 7.01pm on 1st September is going to be brutal, don't set yourself up for such disappointment. It will also lead to this place being a complete rage fest but honestly some of that will be individuals fault for getting their hopes up despite the evidence of 24 years of ENIC & Levy.
 
Agree with previous posts. Can't see us signing both. I think our Daniel is preparing for the boo boys this Saturday. Get plenty of noise out there and keep us all happy.

Not sure why it is so unrealistic.

Savinho has played 1 season in Serie A, and was then a bit part player for City. With such a small amount of experience, he's unlikely to be the main main at any of the big clubs - so if he wants to play and be the focal point, Spurs would be a good fit.

Eze is 27 years old and plays for Palace. If this is his 'prime', its underwheliming. He's never played in Europe; and never played with a full schedule where fixtures come every 3 or 4 days. His goal assist stats are underwhelming for a 'creative' player. 40m is probably a fair price, and if it creeps over 50m, I'd suggest its clear why clubs are looking at younger alternatives.
