Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What the fuck is going on? Every single deal we have tried to get over the line has failed? Despite making sizeable bids.

MGW? Eze? Paz?

Never seen a summer like it
 
Awesome, put up a 70 mill bid. Serious bid, and no silly bs.

Club and player reject, that's fine. At b least we didn't go in with a silly bid.

That means that 70 mill for Savinho is an option, means we can for Hincapie.

Still need another 10, seems like we are willing to splash, should have done it weeks ago though.

I don’t get what’s so hard to follow.

Can’t expect Porro and Spence to play every match.

Romero, Mickey and Udogie all have major injury worries. And everyone needs to be rotated if healthy

I don’t want Ben Davies starting any meaningful games.

This is a no brainer move.

.......Cos this lad Hincape is meant to be hot shit and our pitch is basically "come and be our sloppy seconds".
 
This is made up rubbish.

In what world are Como turning down €70 million?

Wouldn't happen unless they think we'd go higher.
Yeah, it doesn't quite make sense. I can believe the player rejecting us, or perhaps Como rejecting the bid (maybe 35 million share is not enough and the "help" from Madrid means much more), but how and why would Real Madrid match any bid from Tottenham (unless it means matching contracts but then he isn't their player)? All they have to do is convince Paz to wait a year and buy him for 10m Euros. I am not even sure Real Madrid could stump up 70 million for him anyway.
 
Think of it like your debit card, there's a contactless limit of £100 or whatever it is now, but you've only got say £60 in your account, you can't go and tap your debit card to buy something for £80 just because the contactless limit is £100.

Now I don't know exactly how much money Spurs have in the accounts, but the £300m headroom means nothing if the club only has £100m in funds available.
I get that but am I wrong in thinking all transfers are not paid in full? They are usually divided over 3 payments, usually over 2 seasons? So the estimated revenue for that 2 season period is calculated in the sale from the buying club?
 
But like savinho he will be a future superstar so in that sense I do pat the club on the back for identifying these players as targets but its all completely useless unless we sign them.
I mean it's great that we've identified these players as targets, but dumb as anything to let the media know what our targets are - especially if we're not going to be able to sign them.

All that does is highlight those players and get them out on the radar of other clubs, which is idiotic.

Who the hell is leaking or briefing the twitterati about people who we're looking at? It serves absolutely zero purpose and gives no advantage to our club.
