Transfers Summer 2026 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This would be my list of young/youngish talents I’d like Spurs take a closer look at (not with Lange in-charge, though). And no, I don’t believe all of them are good enough, or will be good enough, for an aspiring top EPL club (like Spurs). And yes, I’ve missed some I am sure.
And a few of these players (like Brown, Anderson, Wharton, Yildiz) are most probably out of Spurs reach…

I have absolutely no idea if he's good or not, but I want Salvador Blop.
 
We need to get real.

Next season is about stabilising the shitshow and transitioning into a De Zerbi team.

We've finished 17th twice ffs. All of our best players are broken.

A top half finish with some entertaining football and maybe a cup final will more than do given the state we are in.

We just need to stop the rot. We are not signing Kroupi/Wharton/Rodgers et al.

People turning their noses up at Savinho are laughable. Then again the same people didn't want Grealish or Rashford on loan and preferred to give Tel/Odobert a go. Any shite becomes massively overrated once they put a Spurs shirt on.

The scum didn't go from shite to signing Rice for 100m in one season. It takes time.

United did well with their 3 attacking signings last summer but who are those 3 players available for 60-80m that transforms our attack right now? Who is this season's Mbuemo and Cunha? Maybe Kroupi but he's out of our league.
Probably Bowen, but he wouldn’t join us. Gibbs-White too.
 
I think Wharton goes to a bigger club if I'm honest, he remains a pipe dream for us.

Just wouldn't make sense unless you played him in a 433, or you signed a fucking tenacious busy cunt to play next to him. And that maybe why City, for example, are prioritising Anderson over Wharton, and other other top tier clubs haven't moved on him. He has vision and superb passing execution, but he is athletically and dynamically challenged (like Bentancur but with actual ability).
 
His numbers aren't good at all playing for a team like PSG in the mcdonalds league.

Nonexistent in the CL final when they needed a focal point in the box.
tbf he's not getting the starts, it's a lot of feeding off scraps in 10/20 min spells.

A lot like Savinho actually, these guys need games and rhythm to get going, I think there's a player in both but accept the trepidation .
 
Exactly right.

Nothing inspiring at all in Savinho or Summerville.

The only thing I would say is that we need to also be realistic about which players might be tempted by us at the moment.

But I want to see us getting matchwinners, and neither of these 2 players fits that bill, in my opinion. Nowhere near. Not consistent enough or within their characters.

But I also suspect it's all a lpad of sh!t

Two seventeenth place finishes, escaping relegation on the last day of the season, i don't know what fans in here expect from the transfer window, but no top tier player is heading to us next season.

Deluded to think otherwise.

Players like Savinho and Summerville are about right for us at the moment, and would improve the squad.

Could be anything really but Enrique would rather play Dembele central and not have a focal point in the box to get on the end of chances is a bit of a red flag.

When he came on in the final it's like the players deliberately didn't pass the ball to him. I'm sure he's talented, struck the pen really well and under that sort of pressure so there's something there.
 
I do think Kean is good not great, but he is a prime age striker who would be affordable with PL experience (and obviously Paratici connection so a deal to be done). Italian aswell so De Zerbi probably likes him a lot. The link makes sense and is probably a good fit for both sides.

Unfortunately, just feel that the level of players we’re after this summer will disappoint most of us. We simply aren’t high enough up the food chain anymore, we can’t attract real proven quality. The Keans of the world are our level.

This is sadly true. There’s a real lack of quality around in the market as it is, and the type of quality we need we simply aren’t able to sign because other clubs want them. Unfortunately it means unless we are unlucky or creative, we will have to settle for mediocre

Which is why we really need to somehow get deals done for players like MGW. Proven top PL players. Because we won’t be able to sign the likes of Rodger’s or Kroupi when they have the scum after them
