Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We need a ST, LW, DM and backup LB. We're certainly not getting the necessary players in those positions, and at minimum two by the end of the window.

I thought after the Kudus + MGW that day meant we were getting serious but we have stalled again.

I dont understand why we bought Tel based on his performances, simply wasnt good enough imo.

Why are we terrible at selling players? Richarlison and Biss has to go.
 

I have absolutely zero doubts that Rodrygo laughed out loud when we got in touch. Absolutely zero doubts.

Just imagine the clown cartel of Levy, Lange and Vinai trying to sell the current version of Spurs, in the current state we’re in, with Thomas Frank as manager, to a player of Rodrygo’s calibre.
Its just beyond laughable.

And it’s sad, because make no mistake, we SHOULD be able to attract a player like Rodrygo. The fact we aren’t lays squarely at the door of Daniel Levy, ENIC, and the utterly incompetent way the club is run.
 
Bit like Tel? If he’d been of any use to Bayern we’d never have got him same with this fella Rodrygo if Real rate him he’d no be leaving ……besides until he rocks up in a Tottenham polo shirt on the official site I’ll no get that excited even with the “here we go” patter …..
I don't think they don't rate him but they've got two of the best players on the planet that play in the same position as him, I don't believe he'll come here in a second but he's a phenomenal player.
 
TBF, Ramsey looked like one of the best players on the pitch the last couple of matches we’ve played against Villa.
Jacob Ramsey is a good player. People seem to make out he’s shit but if you’ve watched him a lot you’d see the ability and physicality, he has a lot of potential, Injuries have stalled him which is the concern. I remember when everyone was laughing at Forest paying £40m for Gibbs White a few years ago. I think he’s got that potential personally.

Remember the "special relationship" we used to have with Real? The one where we'd give them our best players and get fuck all in return. Maybe they feel bad about that and want to do us a favour.

Maybe.

:ange-facepalm:
There never was a "special relationship" with Madrid. It was a vague agreement to work together exploring commercial opportunities.

I know this for an absolute fact as I've read Bale's contract. There was a hacker back then who uploaded a whole load of such documents (presumably from La Liga as a number of clubs were involved and LL hold all professional contracts).

The size of our club, along with the associated infrastructure should see us compete alongside the other big clubs.
Reality is, players see us as not serious player and generally laugh at us.
The 2-3 weeks wasted on the MGW farce has probably cost the club especially the manager in getting his team settled.
The weekend friendlies showed how bad we are with barely a shot on target against Luton.
I wish frank well, but he isn't getting top four or anything else with this set up.

Cute they think us going for MGW was anything but opportunistic rather than planned.

100%.

Anyone who thinks Gibbs White was a main target or someone Levy was willing to go “all out” to get for Frank are beyond deluded.

He’s a player we’ve been moderately linked with for years. Like Eze, he’s a player we’ve been “monitoring” perpetually, and clearly somehow we got wind that there was a possibility that we could get him on the cheap this summer. Once that backfired, there was never any suggestion that we would continue to try and get him or pull out all the stops. The stroke we tried to pull didn’t work, so Levy slithered away like a bold child.

Yep the accepting stage

If we want to compete with Fulham etc you sign jacob Ramsey
 
Whatever way you look at it its a bad look for the hierarchy mgw signing new deal after 2 weeks being quiet. Rodrygo not even considering us because we are shit tbf. It's what 17th does to you too. I can't see them stepping up going for a sesko or leao mor a Ramsey or keeping Solomon type
Levy doesn't give a shit what we think, but I do think the feelings of the club's commercial partners must be lurking in the back of his mind as we edge toward selling our single globally famous star.

Don’t stress it bill everyone knows there was never a special relationship
