Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Just offer what the selling clubs want, Levy & Co have fucked about enough already, City simply ain't bothered if they don't sell Salvinho, Como will want more than their player is actually worth due to having to give a portion of the fee to RM.

The situation is simply that our club are most likely going to have to overpay. It's still going to be better than what they agreed to with regards to the Lamela and Bryan Gil deal, and the money that was wasted on Ndombele and Locelso.

Are we really pretending Man U aren't a clusterfuck these days or that it doesn't typically take AFC 3/4 years to sign a ST or DM?

Brother, you are fighting a losing battle. Woolwich are up to over a billion spent since Arteta arrived and they are the top spenders now this summer after Eze… and that most likely includes the wages they will be paying.

It’s rough to admit but their board has completely blown Levy and ENIC out of the water this summer. Fully exposed them as the small-timers that they are.

The just can’t compete at the same level as the other big clubs in this league.

The convo wasn't purely about this summer.... That much was already perfectly clear.

We've suffered 2 zingers this summer; which sucks.... There's no denying that.

Agreed and the money that was wasted on Solanke who had one good season at Bournemouth.

Woken up and seen the latest reports and I’m getting that familiar feeling.

I’m now pessimistic.

Savinho yeah it’s not happening. We want to bid 70 and City want 80. We just won’t pay what is required and we’ll fail to bring him in.

We will fail to get a deal agreed for Paz so we end up scraping the barrel for El Khannoush.

Loads of Spurs fans have convinced themselves that taking a punt on a championship player nobody noticed in the PL last season is a good option for a CL team going into a new season with no number 10. It’s mind boggling. Based on YouTube clips which can make any player look good.

It’s amazing what Levy has done to so many of you.

If we sign BEK the club has failed Frank so badly. Lost Maddison to an acl, and the answer is El Khannoush? It’s pathetic. If he was a player we actually wanted we’d have signed him a month ago. He’s clearly last option if we have nobody else to turn to and it’s so fucking annoying how Levy does this every window. But the fans just get happy because it’s a new toy.

You don’t see any other top club doing business this way.

BEK will be another player we are trying to get out on loan in two years as he’s not good enough and we’ll be stuck with as he winds his contract down.

All because we won’t pay up for the proper quality. It’s Levy all over. He won’t pay for quality so it’ll be more cheap punts. Fuck him man, the absolute cretin

Watch him play. Hes great.

He was also chosen two months ago as a sensible transfer for us.

The video has been watched 218,000 times so it’s. It like Tottenham fans haven’t known about him all summer.

If we signed BEK than I think sarr still gets in ahead of him at CAM. That says it all really.

Sarr would be the better choice against top teams. However if we need to pick the lock then BEK the better choice.

And why do you say that it says it all when Sarr has been arguably our best performer so far under Frank? He’s shone against PSG and City, doesnt get any bigger than that
 
Don Pedro said:
He's just not a top player. Good prem level player. Maybe starts for us with the current players we have available but even that's questionable. He's nowhere near Maddison level.

It would be a very very underwhelming signing. Frank obviously would have requested him of he thought he was good enough.

I’d say he’s similar to Maddison. Good footwork, can dribble around people, good ball carrier, can spot a pass. He’s been good for Brentford for a while. Was their best player last season. His baldness ain’t doing him any favours. Just doesn’t look like a top player, but he’s quality. I’m sure Frank would want him. Just don’t think Brentford would sell.

The Premier League and funnily enough the club has got to big for them. They don’t have the financial muscle to compete

Part of me thinks Thomas has too much respect for Brentford to start ripping what he built apart.
