Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

"I had the same conversation with people like you last summer no doubt"

"people like you"

People like me have a realistic perspective of the club, not one seen sitting in front of a monitor playing Championship Manager.

Tel and Odobert are just twenty, and will need time. Frank appears to see that.

'Fuck that, no other top elite club signs kids and then waits for them to develop and pretends to try and be competitive'

Now wind your neck back in and learn something useful today, and to save you worrying about having to reply 'people like me' i have put you on ignore.

Damn - what happened to Jose Baxter ? His career really fizzled out early.
 
We definitely need a big name there asap.

Frank may see Deki playing there as well on his return.
Deki isn't a #10.

If we want to be serious, the use of makeshift players needs to stop.

The big clubs have two good players for every position.

But we have only one player for some positions, LB, DMC(0 if you don't count Palhinha), and AMC.

It's actually baffling we have let this situation go on for years.

Who isn’t counting Palhinha as a DM? Hilarious.
 
Reckon we will get elliot i don't want him over simons or eze but the price touted and hg levy will be all over it

Simons covers 10 and lw he would make sense
I'd rather we got Billy Elliott, he would dance past defenders left to right!

I would genuinely give up any and all faith (which is already incredibly slim) in Lange if he replaced Madders with Harvey Elliot

Not only is he a dickhead who plays no defense whatsoever, he’s one of the least athletically gifted players I’ve ever seen at this level. He has no pace or burst to play on the wing and is far too weak and slow of mind to actually play centrally. Truly, he would be a ruinous signing, I would absolutely hate it.
