Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What's the record for the arse falling out of a forum?

65 days before the transfer window ends and 4 days before a new manager has a look at the team in person for the first time has got to be up there:frankconfused:

Was in Bilbao a month ago so I'm still on a bit of a footballing high but fuck me it must be tiring to be as negative as 50% of the posters on this thread.

If we’re going to just end up selling him anyway though, would we be as well off just getting it done now rather than playing this faux tough man routine like we did with Kane and Bale etc and selling them right before the season starts and fucking over another manager.

Because the reality is, he wants out, Atletico want him, he is fully awake to the fact that this ownership are frauds and that he is very unlikely to achieve anything further by staying here. And from the outside looking in Romero seems a very volatile character who could cause an almerciful fuss if we don’t let him leave and in that scenario would be no asset to us anyway.

My view on it would be if it’s a choice of selling him for €60 million now or €70 million on the last week of August, take the €60 now and get it over with.

He’ll go the last week of the window and we will be left short. It’s classic spurs. Called it about 3 weeks ago.

Your thoughts on the new stadium is probably a fair question after you were adamant it was never going to be built

Its a question you've ducked for years.

Even though even you must have known it was not a hologram if you bumped into it

No one would be this pessimistic if we hadn’t seen this on repeat for the last 20 plus years mate.

We all know how this story goes.

People are pissed off because we care about this club. It’s not an agenda.
The Spurs fans that are so blasé about it are the ones that worry me.

I should have known when we hired Frank that we'd given up.

We just want to be that team who punches above its weight by finishing 4th every second season without spending big money. Levy probably looks back at the Poch years as a complete success. He doesn't see that we fell short. He sees the new stadium and all the money we made without spending big. Thats his dream and thats what he has brought Frank in to do.

In the meantime enjoy all the 16 year old kids we are buying. We are in the Japanese market too now so great exposure. We ARE so so so so sustainable. Is there a trophy for being the most sustainable club in England? We might win that!

Come on bro, chill out.

Maybe take a break from checking transfer news every 10 mins

Again, stupid of a decision as that would have been (and I don't fully believe the reporting on it), declining a Tielemans deal, which was in January anyway, is not the same thing as embargoing all incoming players for an entire summer.

It's ludicrous to suggest Poch demanded no incomings, can be dismissed out of hand, not to be taken seriously, period.

And ultimately, a process breakdown so severe that the only empty summer in the history of the Premier League was the result falls squarely on the club leadership regardless of the particulars.

Around the time of the dodgy wiring fiasco at the new stadium Spurs just broke as a football operation, it ceased to function. A disgraceful leadership failure that caused enormous long-lasting damage we're only just now digging our way out of.

I agree insofar as he clearly didnt demand no signings.
