Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Fucking sick of all the ‘left it too late’ comments.

It’s a proven fact that so many big deals have been done on the last day of the window, and we still have days to go.

Everyone acting like we’ve really not been trying all summer.

It’s just a total lack of understanding on how big business deals work.

Obviously I wish we did things sooner, but the constant bed wetting is embarrassing.
 
You aren't a real Spurs fan if your expecting us to sign Xavi Simons. You don't live through the emotional hurt of the MGW and Eze sagas and then leave yourself emotionally exposed again.

Until I see Ornstein confirm that the deal is happening, I'm not allowing myself for a minute to think that we'll be signing Xavi Simons.

Once again, I hope I'm totally wrong and look like an absolute wet wipe! But unfortunately my cynical and negative opinions have all been right so far..
 
Can I suggest we impose a 24 hour closure of the forum when the Simons to Chelsea Here We Go happens?

For the good and wellbeing of everyone, I think that’s sensible. 🙏
Suppressing emotions is unhealthy, people will need to vent . It won’t raise my blood pressure though. I’m not angry when I give Levy stick , I’m just having a chat on the forum with like minded people and 63 people who think differently.
 
They'll easily do that, they're pretty much even now and are about to get another 42m from Nkunku. Tyrique George also in talks with Roma, still have Sterling and Chilwell they're trying to offload too.
They are looking to spend around £120m though. Look, they are the favourites and they usually find a way to get shit done. They have wormed their way out of everything so far.

Seems you are like most Spurs fans.

I love this forum but hate the negativity.

I deliberately only recruit optimistic people for my teams at work.

Funnily enough we don’t have many Spurs fans.

Who is expecting us to sign him? Everyone is, rightly, cowering behind the sofa looking through their fingers.
 
Blue tick! blue tick!

Eze has broken this fan base because so many people thought the deal was done even with Xavi Simmons I am going I do not want another Ornstein Bomba I just want to se him holding up our shirt.

Let's just hope fans have learned to chill until a deal is actually done.

I imagine many started giving it large to other other fans and made themselves look stupid

Yeah, and also Romano's silence is deafening on this as he's been adament Simons is going Chelsea all summer.

So until I see him backtrack and post something to the contrary, it makes me think Romano still expects Simons to go to Chelsea.

And as you say, Ornstein. His Simons to Chelsea tweet will hit like a truck. Anyway, I'm going to be pessimistically optimistic . Is that possible?

Exactly. We won't know whats going to happen until Ornstein tweets. I wouldn't even let a Romano tweet influence my opinion at this rate.
