Transfers Summer 2026 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Spurs depth chart:
ST: Solanke, Richarlison
RW: Kudus
LW: Tel, Odobert, Moore
CAM: Simons, Maddison
CM: Gallagher, Bentancur, Sarr, Gray, Bergvall, Devine
CDM:
RB: Porro, Spence
LB: Udogie, de Souza
RCB: Romero, Danso, Vuskovic, Dragusin, Phillips
LCB: Van de Ven
GK: Vicario, Kinsky, Austin

Contracts expiring: Davies, Bissouma, Palhinha, Kolo Muani
Contracts <1 year: Richarlison
Contracts <2 years: Vicario, Maddison, Kulusevski, Porro

Areas of most obvious need based on the above: CDM, RW, LCB, LB
Areas where depth needs to be trimmed: CM, RCB and LW

Positions we need to buy in: CDM, RW, LCB, LB
Positions we need to trim depth in: CM, RCB, LW
Players we need to move: Romero (RCB) and Vicario (GK)

Romero is a very obvious sell and due to the emergence of Vuskovic does NOT require replacement
Vicario another obvious sell but needs to be replaced
Porro is a strong sell candidate due to his contract, but necessitates doing business to replace

Gemini say we average 6-8 transfers per season, which sounds right to me. Romero and Vicario sold means we must buy a GK. That leaves 5 more pieces of business we can be expected to do. RW, CDM, LCB and LB are four more that must be done.

Positions we will need to purchase in:
RW, CDM, GK, LB, LCB

Any realistic transfer scenarios should incorporate at least the above positions in their incoming transfers
 
I called the geezer a clown on the basis of his conduct and how he contradicted himself.



For this Nth time; this isn't about how little you or i rate certain individuals.... Just simply what is practically possible at the level of quality people will no doubt insist upon.

2 new LWs
2 new STs
2 new LBs
2 new RBs
CB
GK
CAM (Kulu/Xavi problem)
DM-playmaker
RW (Kudus long term injury)

It's fantasy football gone mad.

That's before looking at the numbers..... Modestly; that's prob about 500-600m.
Talking bollocks as per usual.
 
I think RDZ may keep Porro if he feels he won't have enough funds to provide adequately for other more necessary positions, and unfortunately we do have many other positions with more significant need.

I've had a chat with De Zerbi, earlier today.

He said he isn't keeping anyone who has a surname and a forename that start with the same letter.

So Willy Wnaker is also a no no as a potential signing.

LW is the top priority.
Are you seriously suggesting Tel as our starting LW again next season?
 
Hackney from Borough, Lecroix from Crystal Palace, Toney from Shiek ya bootie, Adeyemi, Dortmund, Fernandes, West Ham, Alex Scott, Bournemouth, Baleba, Brighton. Purvis , AC Milan, Keely Luton. A few names think improve us.
Hackney nowhere near the level needed out of that lot. Toney all day long,we need a focal point that can take us up the pitch and create a chance out of nothing. Vuskovic obviously coming in and Senesi would be brilliant for centre back. Alex Scott has improved dramatically this season. He’s an all rounder and better than our two younger ones,Sarr and Biss. Baleba fell off a cliff and never saw anything special from him. Fernandes is ok but doesn’t scream go get him.

You don’t want a striker.

When was Bissouma one of our younger ones?
 
Absolutely none of our forwards should be relied upon as top choice next season. Tel is a mess, RKM can fuck right off, Solanke has spent more time rehabing than playing, Kulu is a vaporware, Kudus needs to play a full season before he can say he's the man, Richi I think is gonna find greener pastures and is a #2 or 3 at best, Odobert and Xavi will be rehabbing for most of the season.

We need a new front 3, do not pass GO do not collect $200.
