Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’ve got Fixx on ignore for the summer. Time to add his multi to the list

Anyone defending this transfer window is not worth the time
Ah yes, if we don't throw a strop daily because "we haven't signed anyone today!" we're defending the transfer window. No such thing as waiting until it's all said and done. If we don't bitch and moan now, it must mean that we're perfectly happy.

Such a sorry, binary view of the world.
 
Between Newcastle and United, who do you think Sesko will choose? Newcastle stand no chance. That's just where they are in the pecking order. And yes, we do keep things under wraps for the most part. The examples you gave were journos taking a punt on 286 potential signings and we end up signing one of them. Wouldn't call that the club leaking info.
The only 2 first team signings this summer were being rumoured for weeks before they happened …the one that came out of nowhere didn’t get done
 
to be fair though it was the usual same old mix of opportunistic buys, and youth projects

youth projects
kane
walker
rose
dele

opportunistic or cheaper levy specials
Toby
Wanyama
Dembele
Lloris
vertonghen

son

only Eriksen i think had a whiff of ambition like lamela, to ease the blow of selling bale.

The stars just aligned at that bunch, and through great training/tactics. maybe they will again with Tel, Gray, Bergvall, Odobert etc

Sorry, but the premise of that list is absolute bollcks..... Especially with regard to the last 4.

Is buying Son from Leverkusan any different than Tel from Bayern? Similar price, inflation adjusted.

Toby, Wanyama and Dembelé were bought from lower midtable PL teams.

Lloris was got for cheap from Lyon.

I’m not sure I agree with the wider narrative but the transfer strategy was not so different from now and it turned into our greatest team in more than a generation.

We’d be delighted if this team grew to that in 3 years.
 
If I was betting it'll be Grealish, can play from the left and in the ten (didn't he play his best game for Engjand in the ten?)

Yes he's getting on but still young enough to have the hunger to prove himself again.

He's a good player alright, just don't see us getting anyone else.
 
They have a department for that, you know. It's not the same people doing both. Are you guys really this thick?
We should clear house, because ours are absolutely shit. No disrespect to the clubs like Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham and Brighton, but they shouldn't be our level for signings. Which is the sad reality of right now.

I swear if Levy slapped you across the face, you'd tell us all how you deserved it and that it's something painful that has to be done to help the club.

Deluded.
