Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Son always had the searing pace to rely on. At the moment, Tel doesn’t have an outstanding physical trait to rely on. He’s got a really good ball striking on either foot off a quick release, he’s got a bit of of determination and dawg in him, We’ll see, but at some point we have to see who him and Odobert are.
He seems to have elite mentality. He never shirks, always trying, and seems very mature for his age. What's between the ears counts equally as much, if not more.
 
But that's our problem isn't it? We can't compete so don't bother. If the worst case scenario is the goons have to spend more to get the same outcome then fine but at least test the waters. We're in a desperate situation now and I'm bored of the club pussying out of going after elite players.

Levy is convinced he can prove there’s a way to win without signing elite players.

His ego won’t let him admit he’s wrong and actually force him to change the model enough to sign one

Agents are sounded out all the time. I'm sure if were given even the slightest encouragement we'd go hard for it.

No point in wasting time if the player is set on going elsewhere.
 
How does anyone know what players we've actually spoken to? Think that's the big issue, every club will speak to the player or players agent to ask are they interested, if the players not interested what the fucks the point in making a bid. Get it's frustrating but you or I know absolutely nothing about who the club has approached and again we're a second string option for most high level players, feel like the fact we get players so late in the window in general is because the player has exhausted all his preferred options and that's just football.
 
Would have been the perfect rotation with Maddison


Not convinced he’s the level needed to replace him.
The thing is we won't get one at that level there is 2 who can be or reach it like simons or eze but I feel we won't try for those
