Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It’s so fucking obvious as well.

They have a model that they follow and everything else is just noise to appease the fans.

Only they’ve been rumbled and now the combination of other clubs leaving them in the dust and Spurs fans seeing through their shit, means they’ve spent any goodwill they had left.

Even during a 2-0 win at City the away fans were singing Levy out

Not sure they have. A lot of people believe they are still pushing hard for these players.

I said after we signed kudus that he’s our big money signing for the summer and that signing him and MGW is how big clubs should behave, that it wasn’t anything special, yet people were in awe at what we were doing. Turns out we only did 50% of that and have been chasing our tails since, which is no real surprise to those who pay attention.
 
Paz just reeks of Paratici side quest to me.

He has a great profile and could be the answer at 10, BUT:

He is coached by Fabregas, he’s a RM academy player, and he knows that if he leaves Como now Real won’t buy him back because it’ll cost too much. Nothing about this deal passes the sniff test.

It’s just a lot of bullshit involved with him. And honestly he’s a young lad who probably speaks zero English why would he want to leave so soon? I also think he’s probably more suited for Spain or Italy than England anyway… but even if that wasn’t true, you can guarantee Fabregas would be telling him to stay either way. I just don’t see it happening and imo we need to move on to something realistic.

I don’t disagree with you at all. I’m not sold on any of the attacking midfield links to be honest. However there is a way to remove the current Madrid scenario of wanting him back. We just stick an option in the offer for Madrid to be able to buy him off us at a certain price for one summer in say 2 or 3 years time. Not ideal obviously but if that price is high enough to scare them off at that point it’s not a bad idea. I think their final option to buy him off combo is in 2027, so you do it then.
 
Absolutely insane levels of delusion....🤦‍♂️
City fans are a strange breed . ... I think they've convinced themselves into thinking that the club has pulled itself up by it's bootstraps and that they've somehow 'earnt' their success.

They just can bring themselves to admit that none of their success is real - It's all been bought and paid for.

It's like celebrating winning Fantasy Football when you've been given £500 million to spend while all the other players have £100 million.

Now you can argue all you want that they've spent the money well and the manager still had a job to do, but at the end of the day, would they have one a single title without the dodgy money from United Arab Emirates?


Course not

Whats going on with these 115 ffp charges as well? Likewise chelsea with their previous owner who wrote off 1.5 billion.
