Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Scary prospect- a summer of scraps unless we are able to find some unknown gems.

Champions' League ,(misnomer of all-time) or not, it feels like we will struggle to attract the players we need.

And we probably need 5 or 6 of a standard better than what we have in the various positions.

It's certainly hard to see how we bridge the chasm between us and the top 4 or 5 teams, with the paradox being we would probably benefit by not being in Europe.
 
I don’t think the summer is going to be anywhere near as bad as people are making out. Every single club has staggered transfer debt.

I imagine we’ll do what has been done for the past few seasons. In and around £150m net.

The most important change will be the manager. The group of players we have shouldn’t be 17th in the league. The 5th most valuable squad in the Prem should not be 17th. Forest, by comparison are valued £350m lower and are 3 points off 4th.

Get a competent manager in who will actually bring a coaching team with him this time. Get rid of a few dogshit players, bring in some reinforcements and approach next season with realistic expectation. Leaguewise we’ve hit near rock bottom this season, only way is up.

Positivity chaps.

RealCoolYid RealCoolYid low transfer fee, wages we won’t compete with

Yeah you know when I saw this I thought of you

When I questioned you originally for examples how high fees and how wages aren’t mutually inclusive …..it’s scenarios like this

suppose it occurs when a player out performs a release clause

Basically that was the answer … neither of us thought of it….. shame because it could have saved a painfully tedious exchange
