Transfers Summer 2026 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Seen lots of people saying ‘can’t believe we’re wasting money on the defence’

Reality is. We’ve finished 17th. Twice. We need to spend money on ever part of the team!!

The team isn’t good enough. Romero and Van de Ven haven’t been good enough.
 
I’ve been dying for us to sign players that can actually control a football for about 10 years

Please spurs put me out of my fucking misery

VDV also a left back for Holland. Would argue the back 4 has been good under RDZ so a lot of blame vests with the clueless managers.

The defensive signings are good value, and shouldn’t hammer out our overall spending. Sell Romero and you’ve got three in, one out and are probably £20M up if he goes for 50m and the van Hecke is say 30m (with 1 year left). Gives us huge depth, VDV and Udogie LB, VDV, Senesi, VH and Danso CB, Spence and Porro RB.

Might even get 10M for Drag so c.30m up overall with a much better mix of players. Vusko loan

People also need to remember he played CBs at full back before Pep made it cool.

Veltman for example at Brighton . . .

TF was not good enough.

RDZ turned them into one of the best defences in the league in the last few games, in terms of chances conceded. In no time at all.
