Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Lol.

It's not one player. Fuck me why are some people so slow.

It's years and years of the same general approach every window.

I couldn't give a shit about Kudus specifically, but the same numpties pipe up making the same excuses for this ownership every summer, like clockwork.
It does make you wonder doesn't it, some fans are more concerned about the club remaining financially stable and defending the owners than actually challenging at the top table.
And yet, this club can do both if it wants, instead, prefers to take the cheapest alternative.
 
People were upset it was Kudus, not Eze …

And now those same people are upset it’s not Kudus.

We don’t have a clue what’s going on. Media and fans make up fantasies and then people get upset about things that were never real.

I want ENIC to sell.
I want Levy to leave.
I want us to spend more money on both fees and wages.
I would like us to sign players early in the window.
I think our present squad is mostly made up of wasters, so would like it strengthened.

I also understand that Frank basically started yesterday, so may need a bit of time to assess who he wants and doesn’t.
I don’t believe spending circa £60m on any right winger we’ve been linked to improves us much.

Is ANY of that something you’d disagree with? Or are you having an easy, indirect pop?

I was upset about missing out on Eze. I'm not upset about Kudus. I think our 50m offer is fair. Don't like West ham and don't want to give them anymore money than that. Let them do their deal with Chelsea. I don't care. They might come crawling back to us looking for the 50m yet
 
Well said. Can't just start overpaying and let West Ham rip us off for a player they are desperate to sell. Let Chelsea come in with a stupid offer of they want.

For all the noise coming out of West Ham. It sounds like we are the only club who's offered anything so far and Chelsea have their hands in alot of pies. No guarantee they come in for kudus
Imagine if we make Chelsea over pay!!!

That would be mega

If we could do that to Utd and Chelsea, what a window
 
It’s a player our manager clearly wants? AAAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!

Man, seriously, stop it with that shite. You must know that’s made up bollocks when you type it?

As for desperately needing upgraded and who I’d play right wing - I’d not sign anyone and play our top scorer there instead. But I’m one of those weird old fashioned cunts that like my attackers to attack and score goals and my defenders to defend and stop goals.
It’s made up bollocks that we’ve gone for 2 right wingers?? So are you suggesting the manager doesn’t want the 2 right wingers we’ve attempted to sign this summer ??

Well yeah luckily we don’t have a manager with such a simplistic view of football and he clearly knows a team that came 17th need to sign players for next season.
 
The usual ones, it's early in the window...or let's reserve judgement until the window closes (my personal favourite )

Like we've never seen this movie before

It takes time to do deals (which it does,but like others don't have the same issues but are much more proactive)

There's a few.
Ok. I mean, it is quite early in the window. That’s more a fact than an excuse. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be spending, but still a fact nevertheless.

Reserving judgement at close of the window is too early for me. I’d rather judge at the end of a career. Every season someone like West Ham or Everton “win the window” and do fuck all.

And it does take time too. Sometimes. Sometimes not. Some clubs get some transfers done fast. Some others seem they do, as they keep things quiet until the end. Some clubs struggle to get stuff over the line. Man Utd did Cunha in about 10 minutes. However, how’s Mbuemo looking?

I was very happy we were going for kudus, i
Was unhappy we weren’t also in for eze. Im pretty pissed off we will get neither and this window is heading in a very typically spurs direction.
 
Kudus is very talented and I’ve been impressed when I’m watched him in recent seasons. Technically gifted winger who would add something to our squad we don’t have.
I wholeheartedly disagree. I've never actually seen him play, but considering the amount of shithousery on this forum atm because of how dead our transfer activity has been, I feel morally obliged to maintain the status quo.....

May very well be. How do either of us know who we have tried to sign? We don’t. And we certainly, 100% do not know that Kudus is a player the manager desperately wants.

And I do have a simplistic view, that’s fair. But where, in any of my posts in the past page or two, have you seen me say we shouldn’t sign any players?
