Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

End of day gooners are classless. Look at that eze signing and OTT shit pre match on Saturday. Baffles me why anyone would support them unless they used to are currently living in the area. The most boring club in football before Wenger. Let them get the targets and win fuck all. Piles more pressure on the players and legohead even more.
 
Does that cunt in charge want to shut people up? Go again for MGW or Rogers. Both are known quantities that actually make us go up a level. Make an offer that they can't refuse. Over pay for one of them if need be. Will he? Of course he fucking won't, because he's taking the piss out of this fanbase, and people still eat his shit up.
 
If they don't win it this year, they're building a squad that can go for it again next year, with a better manager than that wasteman that they have at the moment.
Why is it so hard for people to comprehend that the World won't end after this season? If they don't win it this year, they might next year. Just like Chelsea, they'll eventually get it right, and it's fucking sickening.

They haven't "got it right" in 22+ years........... It's not a foregone conclusion.
 
People doing these diversion tactics and coping mechanisms to make themselves feel better. "Oh Romano is against us", "oh look at you giving credit to Woolwich", 'oh there's not many options in the market".

We have been mugged off and all the anger should be directed at the board. They have absolutely done a number on us(again) and they have zero shame about it.

Both true mate.

No hiding from the shitshow of this transfer window. They’ve outdone themselves this time

And

Romano has been capitalizing on that by stringing Spurs fans along to his bullshit like the pied piper.

Hard to disagree at this stage, even if I always seek to supply a sauce of perspective.

Right at this minute, this window, set against what's going on around us is well below par.

And if for some unknown reason we compete, then it's despite and not because of Levy and the recruitment arm of the club. And we won't.

They haven't spent like this in 18+ years. Wenger had to work with fucking dross until he left. So did Emery. It's this cunt in charge that they're backing, and whether we like it or not, they keep getting closer and closer every year, while we keep getting worse and worse every year.
 
Just how is that even allowed - if nothing else, can these incompetent scrotums not realise how bad the optics of him being on holiday is.

Fucking amateur hour once again whilst charging the highest prices in the world
We are probably much better off with him on holiday.

Fucking hell you've really taken the gooners stomping on us literally. No fans are allowing them to do that...

I'm old enough to remember an hour ago when you wrote this:

Spot on mate. Yeah obviously if people are bigging Woolwich up constantly that's one thing, but we need to face reality and I've literally had to put up with so much shit from my gooner mates this summer. They are rubbing our face in it all the time at the moment, not just their fans, their fucking sporting director Berta, Kroenke and Arteta are litterally all mugging us off. Little bro'ing us.

Any Gooner I know who has tried that on me has been deluged with Bilbao vids. They shut the fuck up immediately. Because until they win something they've won fuck all. And they know it.

That's it. That's all there is to say. Because we can't control what Levy does. It's entirely out of our hands.

But we can control what we let trophy-dodging gooner filth say to us. Until they won something, they've won fuck all.

In here we can be as apoplectic as we like because it's our misery to have our owners and we've every right to be fucking livid - but in front of gooners? GET OFF YOUR KNEES MAN!

Never show them weakness. Never let them forget they've won fuck all despite Tets being given more money and backing than Frank could ever dream off..
 
The two aren't necessarily linked........

That's also besides the point I was making about clickbait media and people profiting off of inter-fan conflict.
There are only 2 scenarios:

1) We are trying to sign players, and failing because we're not decisive enough.
2) We are not trying to sign players at all, and our name is just being put out there to "profit off of inter-fan conflict"

Guess what though? Both scenarios show an utter incompetence of our board.

Gooners are the masters of gloating. They're overspending as we won the europa league last year. That hurt them. They look down on us as think they have a deluded superiority complex over us. Love showing off. Let them get their tiny moment. Were champions of europe. They're trying to overate goyokeres already. Will be hilarious they win fuck all this season.
 
I think that was the account that said Woolwich had hijacked the Eze deal an hour before Ornstein. Might be the only reliable source for us this entire window. Maybe maybe not but Rogers if the club is going that’s way is pie in the sky. A better player than Eze and probably £90m to make it work.

Hes not worth that but thats the sort of money it would take.

I think the most we would offer is 70m but thats touch and go on whether they would accept that kind of fee. Depends how squeezed they really are financially

Also villa fans think hes downed tools abit, maybe he himself is not happy as villa do seem to have gone backwards considerably.

Still, extremely unlikely.

They were less "close" last year than they were the year before...... The didn't even mount a credible challenge to Liverpool last year in what was a monumentally weak season from the big teams.




Whatever; my mind is focused on what we need to do this window.

As a fan it seems to me never wanting to settle , always wanting your team to push on , especially if the financial headroom is there is a very logical position . Spend aggressively to try and continually improve season on season should surely be the approach of any financially robust club at least from a fan perspective.

Any other position seems counterintuitive to me

Just once, I would love to see us throw our weight around and show some ambition. Put an offer there for one of these targets, with CL football and the whole gamut. Make the other club capitulate, and while they don't want to sell, they just can't match the complete package. The player is so enticed to come here that they force the issue a little bit.

For a club like ours, offering CL football and plenty of game time in the spotlight for a player in a World Cup season, this just shouldn't be that hard to pitch.

They're trying to go for it though. You know what's sickening? The fact that we have to rely on fucking Liverpool, City or even worse, Chelsea to stop them winning the Title, because this club is unable to do it on its own, because this fucking board is holding us back. I miss the fucking days when we were masters of our own destiny, instead of relying on others to stop that scum.

That's just it isn't it? We have an unexpected CL campaign this season, a trophy under the belt, a manager showing lots of promise and we're stalling. I cannot understand not being frustrated by this.

I get it, some people don't care. Great. But a football forum full of people not caring would be boring as shit.
