Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I think we'll see their recruitment get hurt badly by this- if they aren't willing to honor release clauses how are they going to keep convincing NMS and Murillos of the world to come to them when they could fairly easily regress back into lower mid-table or get relegated again?

Marinakis's ego won here but I don't think NFFC did.
 
We've wasted so much money on poor/average players over the past few years. 120m on two very ordinary strikers that we couldn't sell for half that much. Really poor scouting department. Just pay a little bit extra and you could get elite players but we pay high prices for mid tier players after their only good season and hope to get lucky.
And therefore incredibly hard to get rid of.

Our transfer policy seems to be that there are no transfer policy.
 
It’s definitely time to move on from the MGW situation. But before we do let’s not forget or diminish the countless times Maranakis has been accused of intimidation.

Considering that recent MGW hostage video, I would not be at all surprised if at some point in the future, MGW discloses that he felt threatened if he didn’t sign a new contract….

It really is remarkable reading but the level of corruption in football means this fits in very nicely…

Whilst I'm sure his pregnant partner also had much to do with his decision making to stay out, I wouldn't rule out Marianakis being the type of heartless megalomaniac who uses that as emotional blackmail...

"Now we vouldn't vant your pretty little wife making another hospital visit again... would we Morgan...?

WOULD WEEEEE?


"N-n-n-n..n-n-no ...M-M-Mr Marinakis!"

As it stands, 8 players won be included in the Champions League squad. So, if we are buying - we need to sell first - our senior players won't accept being dropped from the CL squad.

I can imagine Dragusin not making the squad and being sold - but probably in Jan.
Son to MLS is looking likely.

Richarlison? Biss? Bentancur? Sarr? - indications are that Bissouma is most likely to be moved on; and if Bentancur doesn't sign a new contract, he will go too.
So basically, we should only focus on signing homegrown players now?

Boy that will be cheap!

Well, I'd argue that we have quite a strong squad for the Champs League, albeit slight unbalanced. Already some wild assumptions (i.e. Dragusin, Son, Davies out), it's hard to see any other players that could be dropped....and I just realised I missed Bergvall off the list - so that's 9 player we need to drop - and I certainly can't think of one in the list below. Certainly explains why we threw big money at MGW - and suggests to be that EZE or Wharton will be our primary target in this window now.

Club Trained (1)
Austin
Association Trained (3) (maximum 4)
Maddison, Spence, Johnson

INTERNATIONAL (25 CL) (maximum 17)
Richarlison, Bentancur, Bissouma, Kulu, Porro, Romero, Sarr, Solanke, Udogie, Van De Ven, Vicario, Kudus, Kinsky, Danso, Tel, Vuskovic, Odobert, Bergvall

List B - Grey, Moore (looks like Moore is going on loan)

Drop from CL squad - Gil, Soloman, Taaki, Phillips, Yang, Davies, Son, Dragusin
You have posted the same sort of thing , and been incorrect twice

Association Trained also needs to include Solanke Gray (who is not List B) and Davies

List B will have Lankshear Scarlett and likely Gunter (as 3rd choice keeper, as expect Kinsky won’t be named).


You also said we will have to drop 3 players from PL side. Again that is incorrect, we can name every single player we have in Premier League squad and still have some space left over
 
Oh look we finally have two decent Goalkeepers...man it's gonna be a close battle to see who starts...can't wait

Tottenham hotspur want to loan out Kinsky.

Self sabotage at it's finest.

Yet others call them both shit.

If there's not a strategy to loaning Kinski out then it's no doubt a bizarre move, but we can only wait this out...... It might be that we bring in a decent veteran for the interim cover in which case it's not a bad move at all.
