Transfers Summer 2026 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We have to put ourselves in the position where we bully the Bournemouth’s and Brighton’s because we’ve got no chance against the elites. At least for now.

This entire decade of mismanagement has been so damaging to the club’s reputation in the football world.

We have every chance against the "elites" if we are bid at the top table.

The "elites" cannot buy every top player, that is impossible.

Brighton, Bournemouth, and Brentford did not buy elite players, but they all had better scouts, networking and a desire to think ahead.

ENIC could on Sunday have lost 250 million in revenue had we been relegated, so logically to spend that amount on player transfers this summer would be a saving.

Gray / Palhinha - Bergvall / Bentancur / Alex Scott
Kudus / Kulusevski / Odobert - Maddison / Gallagher / Xavi - Tel / Savinho / Moore
Woltemade / Gonzalo Ramos?





Who has gone:
Vicario
Romero
Dragusin
Sarr
Bissouma
Randal Kolo Muani
Dominik Solanke
Richarlison

Who can be signed:
James Trafford
Marcos Senesi
Andy Robertson
Joao Palhinha (permanently)

Gonzalo Ramos (apparently offered to Spurs)

Who comes back:
Luka Vuskovic
Mikey Moore

I would not mind that squad one bit in all honesty.

The double striker sale/purchase is a bit pie-in-the-sky (think we'll v.likely keep Solanke tbh) but agree on the rest of the outgoings.

Suspect Scott will go elsewhere and not sure he's quite the right profile for us - would basically mean we're completely giving up on Gray and Bergvall as he'd directly block their path - but he would obviously be a really good signing. Been saying it for years, but the midfield profile we need is more of a passing/tempo setting number 6 rather than another all-action box to box guy.

ITK throwing Leao into the mix.

Hes better than Savinho but is he’s been bang average every time I’ve watched him. Meant to have a shit attitude as well…maybe De Zerbi could get the best out of him? If he could, Leao’s best is world class

Leao over savinho alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day long , but without europe cant see him wanting too
 
I’d swap Solanke for Woltamade

Just a reminder (to those who stilll haven't gotten it):
Spurs do NOT need to move Kolo Muani, Davies and Bissouma ...because their contract expires next month. Which means they're no longer Spurs players then.

They're still moving on mate. The point is clear that they're the players that should not be involved in the squad at the start of the season, be it by sale, contract exploring or a loan that isn't renewed or option taken up etc

Either way we know the ones that the club doesn't need to have around anymore

WTf are we doing here? Woltemade? Goncalo Ramos? Neither of these have scored anything like the number of goals Richy has ffs - and I think we all agree we want to upgrade Richy.

Alex Scott is great but is he the world Class technical 6 this side desperately needs since Bissouma failed. An upgrade on Sarr though for sure,

Savinho has done absolutely fuck all EVER (but maybe RDZ can change that); Vuscovic is most likely not playing at Spurs next year and that's probably for the best because he's still learning.

SO that's Trafford a slight upgrade on Vicario. Senesi who is decent but not an upgrade on Romero and leftsided anyway; and no one who moves the fucking dial an anything we've done since losing Kane and Son.

Look it's all moot anyway because I'm sure RDZ knows exactly who he wants and that will be fine by me but apart from Alex Scott there's literally not one player on your list that gets me out of my seat - or shifts the mood from the long era of decline.

I could be absolutely wrong and those players all kill it but... fuck me - we saw what missing out on MGW meant. Go and get that cunt ffs
 
He wants to play with his brother.
We have VDV, Danso, Senesi and apparently looking at another CB. Assuming Romero and Drag go.

No European football either. There's no guarantee Vuskovic is PL ready right now and no need to rush it. Also helps to build some good will... he might feel he owes us.
This is what I have been thinking. Get forwards in, score goals next year, and get up into the top ten. Then drop the hammer in 27-28
 
smart man not wanting to work with a wet flange
It's pretty obvious Paratici leaving was also related to working with Lange. Even if Paratici as the main DoF, the power was split and Lange was, seemingly, closer with Frank and Vinai and won the power struggle. I'm not a big fan of Paratici, but you need to empower your DoF, not undermine them.

It's yet another reason why we need to fire Lange into the sun. Any new DoF, even with Lange working under them, will have to deal with the political bollocks of Lange's presence.

If he stays it proves Vinai and the board are weak and haven't learned their lessons.

Agree with all this, except I think Ramos would be a great signing.

He’s scored the same amount as Richy this season, but in almost half the minutes. Think Ramos has a mad stat of a goal every 73 minutes!

Make him the main man and I think you’ve got some player. Could be wrong, but yeah, agree completely otherwise.

Woltemade cost €95m last summer. He is not at all realistic.
 
We need a whole new forward line , kudus and Xavi are out for months , Madison can’t be relied on with his injury record , Richi will be sold and we need a wide left starter , no lore Tels and odobert . We’ve got a huge summer
