Transfers Summer 2026 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We’ll trade for another 2-3 years on his contract and a pay increase.
It won’t mean Jack in 2028 if the player forces a sale.
It’s not fucking ice hockey. We aren’t “trading” anything, giving him a contract extension/pay rise and letting him go back out on loan to play 90 mins every week. Makes sense if De Zerbi isn’t planning to have him as first choice for 26/27, along with far fewer matches next season.
 
Yeah they only sign Basque nationals or Basque Country home-grown players, so they're kinda limited in their options and tend to pay massive wages to retain local talent.
And to counter act their player signing limit they are much more flexible regarding bringing in coaches. Which makes sense in a way I guess. If you can't bring in players from outside to influence the team you bring in coaches.

Yeah, It would be too limiting. I mean, there are quite a few top Basque coaches around at the moment, but I doubt that was always the case. Plus, out of those (unless Xabi Alonso is secretly a Basque nationalist) the only one they could realistically get is Iraola, and they would have to pay top euro to get him. Most likely, they would end up with Lopetegui :franklol:
 
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.

Nobody who posts here “knows better”. That’s the point of the thread, it’s just enjoyable speculation.
Bollocks, you can only speak for yourself plus you had to cut and paste to misquote and critique out of context.

Speculation has feck all to do with the forum experts giving their professional opinion on who they think is shit and who's not....anyhoo onto the misquote, I posted "they believe they know better" a subtle difference from your assertion they actually do as that would infer credibility as opposed to fantasy.

More importantly who elected you to ajudicate over every posters mindset, we are all entitled to our own opinions but not our own facts.
