Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We dropped a bollock by letting Madueke go didn't we...?
With Arse sniffing around, we'd have to spend upwards of £50m to bring back a homegrown player...
2 birds, 1 stone??

If Arse end up with Gorkeres, Eze and Madueke... those are all players we either could, should or DID have at the club!

This is gonna be a SLIDING DOORS WINDOW!!!!

We didnt let him go, he refused to sign a professional contract with us because he didnt see a route to the first team under Poch. Money wouldnt change is mind either. He probably did the correct thing for his career. Man U wanted him at the time but instead he did the sensible thing and went abroad to play games.
 
Hope we get Kudus wrapped up this week. Not because he is my dream signing and I'm paranoid that we might get hijacked. More so because I want us to be fully focused on getting in a proper midfield player to replace bissouma. Thats the big transfer that we can't get wrong this summer! We need to be prioritising this or next season has no chance!

If we end up going into next season with no new midfield player and still relying on Bissouma to play most our games. Then forget about it. It'll be the 4th year in a row where his form totally nose dives

I agree. We probably are doing more than one deal at a time but it really never feels like that with us. Bissouma will presumably go because of his contract situation but I bet we want a king's ransom for him. Someone will get a good player/deal. Can see Palace or someone like that picking him up.
 
Jesus who has scored more goals than Richarlison and cost 20 million less and Havertz, a converted midfielder who has scored 22 goals in 2 seasons is hardly the same level of fuckwittery as spaffing 120 million on Richarlison and Solanke ffs.
Jesus is on £265k p/w.
Richarlison is on £90k p/w.

IE, Jesus salary comes to £68,900,000 for 5 years.
Richarlisons comes to £23,400,000 for 5 years.

Tell me again how Jesus cost £20m less?


This is why transfer net spend stats are fucking BS and people who try to claim we spend a lot need to look at the bigger picture.
 
Kudus seems to get a lot of hate on here and I’m pretty sure it’s a Spammers thing. He’s a brilliant player and in the right environment with a new challenge he could be clsss for us. He’s got more in his locker than any of our front players. He fits the bill of a Tottenham player for me. He loves to go by people wide or centrally,will shoot,can score spectacular goals and is basically an off the cuff type. We have seen straight line players who bore the fuck out of me.

Yes Kudus didn’t have a great season last season but he was playing in an awful West Ham side. My only issue with it is he will be going to Afcon in December.
He’s not
 
The thing that I can’t get my head round is that it appears that we can only work on one transfer at a time. There are five people who can work on them if you count Lange, Paratici, Gabbanini, Vinai, Levy., yet everything else seems on hold while this Kudus deal is thrashed out and then I guess we’ll turn to a No 6.

Richy and Solanke are better than any striker they have

Solanke will score more than Gyokeres this season and the one after.

Woolwich’s best player last season was a rapist.

Zubimendi will struggle with the pace and physicality.

Saka will eventually be a LWB like Ashley Young because they overused him too early and burnt his body out

Martinelli wouldn’t even be a good cocktail

They are shit

And you can fuck off

Not for a second saying Jesus is worth that kind of money.
Nor am I claiming we spend a lot.

Just because Richarlison isn’t on 200k plus doesn’t mean we didn’t grossly overpay for him. He was never a distant relation of a 60 million player.
