Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I know I joked yesterday about needing players
But we do, everything looks ok after two games
But we know that almost certainly won’t last
We have let go of quite a few places in some shape or form
We need numbers in our squad
We will inevitably pick up injuries
Some of our injured players are not close to returning yet
Squad is still unbalanced and certainly not strong enough for a four competition season
But looking at most of the transfer rumours, of which most I know are not true
I’m not sure there are many transfers that will now unite the fan base

is that a poem?
 
if the club is seriously deluded enough into thinking they can get these players

They’re even stupider than I thought. We are genuinely not going to sign anyone. It’s a shambles. How can you get rejected 5 times and still think these players are doable. It just beggars belief. I truly hate Daniel Levy
If anybody is seriously deluded enough into thinking that there is even a molecule of truth in any of this endless internet nonsense, they ’re even stupider than I thought.
 
Okay. If I had a mobile phone ( don’t need a laptop) . I could ring at least 6 premier leagues teams per day.
Monday 9am
Me to Villa : get me chairman. Hello Spurs here. Rogers 60 million!
Villa: no .
Me: 65.
Villa: no
Me okay 75.
Villa . Deal.
Me: I’ll be up in an hour.

Okay it’s now 9:07 am on with the day.



My point is …. What the fuck have levy, Lange, paratitchi and the rest of the clowns been doing for 12 fucking weeks
 
Its not like going down the shop for some milk

No, but it's ample time to get business done.

That of course depends on the smoothness of process, and usually on the basis that a bid is on the table.

As we know, it takes us an age to decide if we are going to monitor, let alone make a bid.

I'm still completely in the dark about the involvement of Frank on potential transfers, both from an input perspective but also any kind of managerial consent.

But 5 days is plenty enough time.
 
This talk that regularly does the rounds about should Levy be removed from the football side of things has always been a load of guff in my opinion. It's why I've never subscribed to it or endorsed it either way.

So long as he's CEO / Chairman / Co Owner he's involved. Every decision ultimately comes back to him because either he makes them personally or he employs those that do

Levy doesn't need to be removed from 'the football side of things '...he needs to be removed.

Permanently?

Are we just going back in for players we fucked about signing when their contracts were expiring then, yeah?

Semenyo is quality, but for fuck's sake like...if we can't sign him with a contract expring, we've no fucking chance now.
Kudus was the alternative to Semenyo, this is just bollox for clicks! I think after the MGQ and Eze embarrassment the Club has gone into lockdown, if we do sign anyone before the window closes , it will come out of no where ( IMO)
 
Pretty sure they'd just be fucking themselves if they did that.

As it stands they'd be signing Simons to sit on the bench because there's no way he starts over Palmer. Are they really going to spend £120m on two players to sit on the bench behind him?

The scary thing is I genuinely don't know. Chelsea are doing some weird shit.
It wouldn't be the first time they've signed 60m players to sit on the bench. Some of them don't even make the bench.
