Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I am not 100% against Kudus because with his head screwed on straight he's a very good player.
The big question would obviously be if Frank and his staff can get through to him and have him perform to that level consistently.
 
We don't spend the money we already have. What makes you think we'll spend the money we get for Romero?

The problem is getting our owners to be ambitious and buy top players!! Selling our best players is the last thing we need on top!

What money do we already have?
The reality is if Romero wants to go and it's looks like he does, he will go, either this summer or next.
 
Hmm, I actually think Semenyo might be a better signing than Kudus, but Kudus is definitely the kind if player who goes out and has a monster performance away vs Chelsea, Woolwich, teams we struggle against. Semenyo I think has more repeatable actions with which to rack up goals and assists over a season.

But Semenyo has a longer contract and they don’t need to sell

Club is probably thinking:

Semenyo:
70m + 125k pw for 5 years is 102m over 5 years

Kudus:
55m + 150k pw for 4 years is 86m over 4 years

Fairly big difference. Obviously guesstimating those numbers but it will be that way they are thinking about it.
 
Watch Kudus play guys, he’s class. Amazing one on one and a real threat that keeps opposing full backs worried - he offers so much of what we’re missing.

I watched West Ham probably 6 times this season and thought he was their biggest threat every time, the season before he was unreal. I’ve checked in with a couple of West Ham season ticket holders and whilst they became a little frustrated with him towards the end of the season, they also get it. He’s too good to be playing that shitty style week in week out.

Frank needs to have the final call on his application but he’s exactly the type of wide player we’ve been craving.

I’d be buzzing for his signing.

Edit - he’s also only 24. Lots of room for growth still. 👍

Ex-Spur Massimo Luongo released by Ipswich.
Eriksen released by United (Jonny Evans is retiring).
West Ham releasing Ings and Zouma who THFC were strongly linked to in the dim and distant past.
 
Why is a 31-year-old player on £200k being presented like a preferred/optimal signing?

When Redknapp was in charge, apparently (said everyone, for years) all the club wanted was 30+ year old players because they didn't want to pay for younger ones. The rhetoric flops about too much for a club that has had no real deviation in leadership.

We've signed Llorente for strong money, and brought in Perisic. Poch said at the time there was no age issue with signings:


The evidence is quite clear that we aren't a selling club that farms players - bit weird to suggest that when it literally doesn't happen. The club did very well to keep the best players here as long as possible, to the point where we don't actually worry about it these days.

I think you've missed the point a little bud, he's not saying we're a selling club but making point it's more bang for buck to sign players young and grow them into prime.

Economically logical yes. Ambitious, no.
 
Someone is going to hijack Kudus off us. We all know that and lets face it thats what Kudus and West Ham really want to happen. Its too obvious. We know its coming.

My hope is that the hijacker is Chelsea because then we could probably do a deal to get Madueke as he'll want to leave if they are buying another forward. Madueke is homegrown and club trained. He'd be Levy's dream signing.

Thats just my prediction. We are getting hijacked for Kudus and Kudus can't wait to screw us over. We are his last resort. Best case scenario is we turn this awful situation into some form of positive. Noni Madueke.

I don’t think it’s a question of hijacking. I think all this is is his agent and West Ham desperate to sell him so they can use the funds.
 
Don't shoot the messenger, but this is what my mate at the papers is hearing rumblings of

Son to USA.
New contract for Romero. Will be captain and our higher paid player (more than Kane).
New contract Bentancur.
Seymenyo or Kudas preferred over Eze. Eze to expensive since we already have Mads and Kulu.
Dragusin wants first team. If Romero stays, he's gone.

Defence is the top priority. Don't be surprised if we start playing some very defensive football in preseason.

Levy wants to win the premier league this season.
All of that sounds believable to me. Whether it's true or not is another matter
It's a given that of course Levy wants to win the EPL.
I am not keen on Eze so I hope that spec is true. Bents I also like, the Dragon I am not so keen on.
Romero stays would be good if he leaves for a big transfer would be acceptable.

We wanted him while at Ajax, I will say that.
