Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Well said sir, people forget just how close we were to there not being a Tottenham at all under Irving Scholar.

On a slight tangent, there was a post yesterday bemoaning Liverpool's attempt to sign Isak which went on to point out that we broke all transfer and wage records by signing Jimmy Greaves from Milan.

The poster forgot to mention that we did this from a position of being English league and cup champions and the second best team in the world at that time.

Of course he did, they always do.

Had to go back 50 odd years to try and make this point mind you and it was still full of disingenuous bullshit

That's a good point actually Bill and I'm glad you brought it up. It kinda shits all over the idea that we don't have an illustrious history and are somehow over achieving with ENIC.

The general point still stands though. The poster who said we have never signed players of the quality or standard of Isak was quite clearly talking out of his ass and showed a total disregard to our past.
 
His new contract at Forest?

Possibly
I see a lot of the 'noise' right now is why doesn't MGW kick up a stink (like Gorkeres or Isak did) to force the move through...

...and I think the answer is obvious.

MGW is merely proving the 'No Dickheads' philosophy we employ these days!

I'm glad he's not an arsehole.

Cuti, Bentancur and Richie can be 'cunts' but that's ON the pitch!

The mure MGW plays by the rules, the likelier we are to get him.

Maryanakis won't have a leg to stand on... (Mainly due to gout I imagine!)

Not taking a dig. But you come across to many of us a someone who would relentlessly defend Levy / ENIC with your life. Come what may.

If you find the time, sir, could you give an example of what you would describe as a totally unacceptable transfer window? You know, given our wealth, ticket prices, last years 17th place finish etc....Taking everything into account.

I'm sure such a theoretical scenario must exist. Even for you?

Really interested to hear it as it may help me and many others to understand your position more clearly.
Although, if you'd rather not, I understand. We'll just draw our own conclusions from that

In the levy thread. Honestly there’s enough shit in here already without going over that well trodden ground in this one.
 
Is it just me, or are Newcastle being majorly cock blocked?
First Liverpool tap up Isaak. Then when Newcastle refuse to sell they sign Ekitike. Now Newcastle are trying to sign James Trafford but City have stepped in.

It feels like teams are trying to sabotage them.

And im here for it.
Trillions of pounds and no way to spend it :roflmao:

How about we give them £70 million + Richie for Isak .... :paraticiwink:
