Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

A new week Spurs on tour and Lange and Levy will be swanning around Hong Kong and Korea instead of sorting the mess out. This is currently a tragic transfer window and possibly worse to come. Looking at the squad it’s one of the weakest per positions in the PL.

It's not as staunch as you like to think.

I just choose not to blame him for everything!

fine line and all that.

Fair enough

But he's been here 25 years

He may not be directly responsible for everything that goes wrong with this club but you have to admit that his fingerprints are over everything at this point

For all intensive purposes this is his club in his image.

There have been some good things , anyone who thinks otherwise shouldn't be taken seriously but he has outstayed his welcome by about 10 years at this point

One man should not sit at the top of a company this size for 25 years , everything about how we operate football wise is still stuck in 2005

And ...

People will laugh it off but things are going to get much worse if we continue on this path

very.

to the point where (and i think I've told this story before) the first kit my ex-wife bought me was for my 40th birthday and it had 40 'Levy' on the back - bless her, she had no idea of the implication.

I wore it out twice to play squash, and both times the group following us, different both times, asked me why I had the chairman's name on the back of my shirt.

Just be grateful your surname is not Campbell.

If Millot goes Atleti, I'd happily take Griezmann off their hands, even if it's just the one year before he moves Stateside.

Forget his age, he's still a superb player who can do it all. I'd love him in that combo 8/10 role and I guarantee you so would our strikers...and defenders.

Could be our new Ginola in terms of aura and impact...on & off the pitch.

Seen him in person recently, he’s never doing the work out of possession to play PL football

Ageing players do not come to the PL in their mid-30s anymore. It’s too fast-paced, too physical.

Griezmann in 2025....he would be an absolute disaster in the PL given how he's dropped off physically.

Johan Lange has had months to be ready for this transfer window, and has a backroom team of data analysts sifting through piles of information and yet seemingly if we miss out on our targeted player then everything is kaput. Player B or C or D should be ready to go with our next offers. I know he supposedly works in secret but I just think he's inept at what he does.

We miss out on a player we're after.

We don't sign an alternate player within 24 hours.

The scouting and transfer department is inept and clueless.

Corrected your list.
UCL Squad of 21 can consist of maximum 21 Association Players + 0 HNG, 20 Assoc + 1 NHG, 19 + 2, 18 + 3 etc down to 4 +17 NHG. 17 is the maximum NHG players allowed.

Club Trained (1)
Austin
Association Trained (6) (maximum 21)
Spence, Davies, Gray, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke

NHG (23 CL) (maximum 17)
Vicario, Kinsky
Porro, Udogie, Romero, VDV, Danso, Dragusin, Vuskovic, Takai
Bissouma, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski, Bergvall
Kudus, Yang, Gil, Solomon, Odobert, Tel
Son, Richarlison

List B - Lankshear, Devine and Scarlett and most of the Academy players.

Current squad is 6 HG and 23 NHG =29.
Maximum allowed is 21.

So at least 8 players need to be chopped from NHG list.
Or potentially 7 NHG and Davies.
I can't see any other of the association players being left out.

The current squad feels underwhelming and lacks standout quality. To strengthen the team, we should consider offloading the following players:

Sell:

  • Ben Davies
  • Radu Drăgușin
  • Yves Bissouma
  • Richarlison
  • Bryan Gil (potential release)
  • Manor Solomon
Loan Out:

  • Yang
  • Takai (pending evaluation)
  • Odobert
These moves would free up squad space and budget, allowing us to target 2 key signings—possibly 3 if we decide to sell Son Heung-min.
