Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Another productive week in the window. Only loans out, some monitoring. Great job, recruitment team.
They really earned their corn this week

I feel really depressed about the coming season. We are definitely nearer to relegation than champions league at the end of the season. I know we say this every year but if ever we needed to buy big its now - and not just 1 more player.

I want to run this past you - Ange actually got us to punch above our weight! Now we have the ex - Brentford manager expect decline.

Postecoglou was poor mate. Let's be very clear on that. Out of his depth. The Europa victory was a freaky combination of a few things in my opinion.

We didn't need to spend big this summer, but we needed to plug some obvious weaknesses, and that was before the Maddison injury. Son was deteriorating fast, but what a servant.

Varied views abound at present. With no change to the squad and a poor start, I think we will struggle. We might be harder to beat but I can't see where we get goals, Johnson apart, and that should flash red lights.

No team will fear playing us. Many may well relish it.

You can have your opinion on Ange but he finished 5th and won a trophy in 2 seasons

Frank will do very very well to achieve half of that and he’s a miracle worker if he wins another trophy in the next 2 seasons
 
wonder if Williams Barnett will end up in the seniors. Might end up our only fit 10.
Joking aside, that is where we're at depth wise in the CL. We can only register 21 players + Austin and you name a 23 man squad for matchdays so there will be 1 spot for a List B academy player and we've loaned out all the players closest to being ready for men's football. 16 year-olds like Williams-Barnett, Byfield is where we're at now as a CL option on the bench.
 
Feels like this season is hanging on Frank (and his coaching team's) ability to coach improvements out of our current players which might mean we improve over the season Vs Ange's gung-ho tactics which were found out and we got worse, especially when compounded by injuries.

I think that the negative vibes set up by the transfer window and Maddison's injury means that there will be no patience for a slow start among the fanbase. Levy needs to be buying some good will as well as quality players in the remainder of this transfer window to give Frank a chance to improve what we have as a team
Levy's plan is clearly to finish say 8th to tell us "hey we've progressed big time, another season or two and we'll be at the top."

That way he gets to ask for more patience & underspend again.

And you know exactly who'd buy that and sing his praises, saying this current mare of a window worked a treat etc.
