Transfers Summer 2026 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports


People can stop suggesting Eriksen, I guess.
I'm the last person to criticise someone for attempting to make a funny but there are occasions when it falls flat due to bad taste..do yourself a favour Mate and hold your hands up to a momentary error of judgement.

Nah.
He got up and walked off. He's ok, which is why I posted it.
If he was in actual trouble, obviously I wouldn't have.

The real reason we shouldn't bring him back is that he was beyond shit before he left.
 
I was semi joking earlier when I mentioned him but I'd rather we try and sign Rogers for £90m on £250k a week than going back to doing the same old shit, spunking £40m-£60m money on square pegs "with potential" to fit our round hole sized issues.

He can play LW, CAM and RW. English. 23. You know exactly what you're going to get with him. We'll see how serious this "new" ENIC is this summer, I guess.

We had a dabble at him last summer from memory. We should definitely be trying to do that deal at that level.
 
I don’t really rate Tel but I’d agree. Delap was good for Ipswich but a bit of a battering ram for a very limited side might be his ceiling. His technique is too clunky to do it for a top side.

He’s been an absolute fucking mess at Chelsea, granted they’re a mess and I think he’s better than he’s shown, but he can barely control a football.

It was always the wrong move for him. He chased the money like so many before him. The move for him was Everton last summer. Had he done that he probably would have got 10/15 league goals and potentially a place on the plane to the World Cup with that kind of return.
 
If you are of Serbian heritage Id forgive your utterly stupid myiopia, we've had this with Romero and Argentines with Ange and Australians ...with the English and Harry Kane. Willfully blind to their short comings but to still be banging the drum for a player as manifestly athletically limited as Dusan Vlahovic in 2026, deary me. He will not scale up to the EPL RDZ wants a high pressing forward line and you are talking up Vlahovic it's not going to happen. Don't at me on this Wally it's boring you'll be going on ignore.

One of these is not like the others... :eek:
 
The list of players who have owned it in the Bundesliga and have struggled in the Prem is much, much, much, much, much longer than the list of those who have owned it there and successfully transitioned in season following their move.

More experienced players than Vuscovic

And the fact you won't at least accept there is a huge risk there, and there is a fuck tonne of precedent to back up the feeling of risk, makes your stance on this disengenuous.
Bundesliga attackers/wide players.

Bundesliga centre backs that have come to the premiership in recent seasons:

VDV
Gvardiol
Konate
Akanji
Rudiger
Matip


do your research before typing.

But now he has enough money to never work again - he’s grown up watching 99.99% of his mates getting cut along the way and going out into the real world, I get why it’s tempting to sign the huge contract and know you essentially don’t have to do fuck all between now and the end of time
 
De Zerbi did say he wants to keep Palhinha, which means the club need to pay Bayern, I don't know where all the money is going to come from to get all these positions covered in this transfer window. There's a large transfer debt, and the revenue isn't very much more than the operating expense of running the club/stadium.

• Total Revenue for the year increased by 7% to £565.3m (2024: £528.2m)
• Operating expenses (before player trading) increased by 15% to £521.5m (2024: £453.6m)


FYI in Spurs accounts the operating costs include £57m of depreciation (a non cash item) and elsewhere there is £141m of amortisation (another non cash item) of previous player transfer costs charged to P & L.

So in reality the 'cash' profitability of Spurs available for investment in new players is a lot more than you might think from those figures - especially as most players transfer costs are paid over 5 years (or length of player contract). So Spurs will probably budget to spend say £150m+ on new players from its own resources - with Lewis family on record as saying they expect to pump in more money this window, whilst amount is unclear we could ewll see total spend say circa £250m/£300m.

So we are probably good for the 2 free transfers (plus another cheap GK) plus say another 4 or 5 first team players (eg Van Hecke, Savinho, CM and another forward ........ provided we do not get sucked into paying fees of £80m on one player)
 
Yeh sorry forgot him.

Then there's also the players like Lovren and Kompany historically. It seems nearly every CB that came from the Bundesliga has done well making dudu dudu point null and void.
I don't know who dreamt up this nonsense about the Bundesliga being a farmers' league, but it's complete bullshit.
Klinsmann and Berbatov were decent as well IIRC.
