Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Can't say that I've seen the show, but I can tell you that she definitely doesn't work for Spurs, simply because she's still trying to do her job.

Our scouting team wilfully closes their eyes and blocks their ears during transfer windows.

Where did this dumb idea that our scouts control the reigns over our trf business suddenly spiral from?

What a babe.
 
Absolutely it.

Owners are stewards, they're there to serve the best interests of the club. They are not God's. This ownership, while having done a lot of food, have done a lot of not good, and have taken the club as far as they can with the means they have. They're holding the club to ransom with their unrealistic evaluation and Levy demanding a role in whatever the next phase is. ENIC are an investment company, they're using it as a vehicle for investment. Invest too much, you lose out on bottom line. If you actually believe they're serving the best interests of the club, and you're not allowed to criticize them, then you're incapable of critical thought.

Bottom line is ENIC is trying to get the best return on an investment. Nothing more, despite the staged PR interviews.

You won't find a single person that thinks the owners are beyond criticism.

.....And suggesting that anyone thinks they are "gods" is utterly preposterous and self-defeating to any point you may or may not hope to establish.
 
The Extra Mile(sey) The Extra Mile(sey) kingdawson kingdawson Honest John Honest John Richard Arlison Richard Arlison et al take note. This is what a coherent anti-ENIC argument looks like. Not your "gaaah bald cunt" blabbering and repeating the same drivel 34 times a day.
I don't think I've ever called him a bald cunt

Like ever :roflmao:
 
I agree with your post. It frustrates me too that we haven't made any moves more significant than signing Kudus. At the same time, I don't subscribe to the theory that the owners don't give a fuck about us being competitive. Which makes it even more baffling. Waiting to see how this will play out and if it's a multi-year strategy rather than trying to solve all our problems in one window.
A multi year strategy?!?!? What, like 25 years, or 26... maybe 27... how about 30. Let me break this to you gently. There is only one strategy. Increase value of ownership by creating a portfolio of steady income assets by leveraging our historic brand. CUNTS

I think when we look back in a few years time this window will be seen as the 'straw that broke the camels back'

Unless frank can work a miracle, things are going to get very nasty i fear! Pair that with a reasonably young team its all the ingredients of a horror season.
It's alright...Burnley and another two teams should be worse than us. Surely...surely?

If they did give a fuck about us being competitive, you would see changes to our wage structure & record transfer fees.

You shouldn’t be baffled, this is the norm …

Coming from the guy that continuously moves the goalposts every time he loses an argument.
 
There are two options:
1. They don’t give a fuck…
2 Rank incompetence.

Choose one.

I get the feeling they are really just trying to buy abit more time at this point to finish the project in full. The hotels and whatever else they have planned will be completed and once thats all done finally cash in, maximised.

They simply treading water at this point, they could find ways if they really wanted too but no.

What was the money that was put in a couple of years ago used for? Was it used on players or was it not drawn down at all?
Whatever happened it is clear, the off field stuff is far more of a priority because of the value it adds.
Are we really to believe that building these apartments is all happening so we can suddenly flip a switch and suddenly buy top player, oh please if anyone thinks so there just beyond help at this point.
 
The way you and a few others go on, it's extremely hard to believe that.

Only if you view through disingenuous eyes........

The owners are being criticised over the last few pages buy those very same people you're profiling; yet all you (and your ilk) can muster is LOL emojis and such.

Standard shit around here.

You danced around everything else I said, which is classic.

What else was there to acknowledge? Just a 101 rant from someone such as yourself.

They're an investment company. You are correct about that.
