Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Don’t think Levy is capable of signing him.

Wanted him before the Eze talk started because I didn’t think Levy was capable of signing Eze. Somehow talked myself out of that.

It’s going to be Officer Dibling or even worse.
At this rate, it's more likely:

No, that's not Wilfried Zaha.
 
I don't really care for blame or narratives, but this isn't good enough for a club like ours

Whether that is doing due diligence, knowing what areas to target, or being able and willing to move quickly through the gears when necessary, we are being shown-up.

It's harder now to see how we are able to put together a squad who can be expected to challenge for the top 5 this season..

Still time but little confidence.
 
Why. Should. He. Give. A. Flying. Fuck

It is absurd to expect a player to have a non legally binding personal agreement sway his decision about the next 4-5 years of his career when gifted the choice between his boyhood club and their bitter rivals. I mean wtf, If anything, the fact that he agreed to us in the first place speaks of his professionalism. Had our club finalized the deal, however that needed to happen, he couldn't have reneged as the club would have made actual contractual agreements with us at that point. The deal between the clubs is predicated on the personal agreement with the player first and foremost as he still has his contract with his current club as leverage. The only exception, which we played our role in, was to allow a deal with another club to be struck which the player also agreed to. It's very simple.
He doesn't have to give a fuck but I don't have to get all pissed off about a player who chooses not to come to us.

If he had signed, wonderful. But he didn't.

He also didn't sign when linked from QPR.

He was also rumoured to have been going to Woolwich earlier in this transfer window.

It's shit cos we need a 10 and it's shit if it was made complicated cos of Levy.

But Eze hasn't really said or done anything that makes me pine for him.
 
#Me too....despite posting on here many moons ago in the midst of constant cries from others "we should go for Eze"etc...I put my 2 penneth in and declared "He's a gooner and not coming here, no chance "

Didn't even believe it when the news first broke that we'd started talks with Palace. Don't know wtf this transfer does to our rationale but I allowed myself to buy into and now I'm paying for it.

Oh sure we can all put up the defence mechanism about his gooner preference but I really wanted to see him in a Spurs shirt.
Him being a gooner has nothing to do with any of this. Maddison straight up mocked is and is a gooner.

He agreed to join, but Daniel being Daniel, dithered, and then when Woolwich come in, with a better project and likely, much better wages, it's a no fucking brainer.

This is exclusively on Levy.

I am just listening to this and Billy T is asked a question about Dibbling and he says "I am crashing out man, I can't sit here and talk about Tyler Dibbling tonight...I can't do it... I need to put all my energy into getting rid of this chairman"

I was howling with laughter at a slightly shocked Ricky trying to pull it together.

Edit: I corrected the quote, it is even funnier.

Watched the first bit of this, why oh why would they decide to bring that utter cretin Dharmesh on tonight?

That guy has to be one of the biggest swines in the media, he has shown utter contempt for Spurs in the past and you can clearly see here he is taking such joy in winding up Sacks with his bolloxollogy.

It's one of lamest, most limp wristed excuses being put out there mate.
It's pathetic. Absolutely fucking pathetic.
 
They're all calling you a cunt, Daniel.

Go on. Do it. Put on the big boy trousers. Book that flight to Milan tomorrow morning, slap that £70m down on AC Milan's desk and offer Leao £200k basic with huge performance bonuses and show the world you really mean what you said in that interview.
 
There's actually Spurs fans on X (formerly twitter) trying to put a positive spin on it saying we've forced the goons to overpay for Eze.

Honestly, some of our fanbase make me feel physically sick
Because they're idiots.

There is no positive to this - it's a fucking embarrassment.


But the worst thing is........ Deep down you knew this was what was going to happen......because it happens every time.


I think I'm more pissed off with myself ......because I fall for it EVERY FUCKING TIME.

Lange should be fucked off immediately, followed very quickly by Levy, the dumb cunt who has hired a succession of utterly mediocre buffoons across a range of roles, fucking Hitchen, fucking Munn, fucking Sergio Raymundo, a fucking medical department that wouldn't get employment at the local Superdrug ...

The fucking most competent of the shower of cunts running this club over recent years spent a combined £50m on fucking Emerson fucking Royal and Bryan Gil ffs! We idolise that guy!

:paraticiwink:
That's how fucking piss poor the rest of the are!

Fuck off you fucking creepy little eunuch.
 
This all falls on Levy and anyone here who says or believes different can go fuck off. There is no excuse or spin that can change the fact that Levy is the problem at Spurs and needs to go. Sell the club you tight arsed prick. You are killing the joy of every spurs fan.
 
To save face we should make a new bid of 72m, We either get Eze or make Woolwich cough up more money for him.
Of course this won't happen, but for me its the only way we get some satisfaction.

2 things he’s never done:

1. Capitalize on a position of strength to push the football team forward.

2. Reacted with strength and conviction after the club has been embarrassed.

He will just dither along telling himself he’s being stoic, probably reading Marcus Aurelius diary..Only problem is that Marcus Aurelius actually won shit and didn’t get mugged off all the time.
