Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

WestHam problem were 2 fold - They could not get the ball to their creative players in right places... And when they do, they didnt have striker option who were good enough to finish them. On top of it they were defensively woeful as well

Paqueta has 55 Brazil caps - Just on this alone, you know how highly he is thought in Brazil. Also personally , now out of the betting troubles means he can play more free.

I would rather take the risk on Paqueta than sign Grealish who has barely played in 3 seasons
Paulinho had 56 Brazil caps.

So.

:avbshit:
 
Simons is by all accounts an extremely good footballer beyond the stats with very good fundamentals.

As it happens I’ve seen him a few times. He’s very obviously good at football.

I don’t advocate for anything but maybe we could possibly if Levy’s feeling really nice spend some solid money on erm .. someone after the injury to Maddison and retirement of a legend? Maybe just something which excites the fans. Pretty please baldy?

Because the upcoming season has all the anticipation of a wet fart currently. What are we excited for other than a clean slate and hope? Our attack and midfield has all the flair and excitement of a plant pot.
I agree that we need a midfield passer, someone with some creativity. We needed that before Maddison’s injury.

I just know what people are like, desperate to sign player X because they’re the in vogue treat. Simons does seem promising but he’s been in negotiations with Chelsea for weeks so I’m not sure we’re about to hijack that.
 
I think Morgan Rogers is worth 100m.

I rate Paulinho too... (blasphemy!)

He was just a wrong player in a wrong team. For all the nonsense thats laid at his feet, he did score 8 goals in 37 games in his first season. For a midfielder thats a great return. Its just he is a wrong type and we didnt need him at that time. He was not technically good - we just assumed he should have been...Instead of playing to his strengths we misused him. He didnt last 2 seasons in the end. After his chinese stint, he went to Barcelona & then scored 9 goals in a season...

The Brennan Johnson of Central midfielders.
 
If Harvey Elliot is the answer to this, that’s genuinely embarrassing for Spurs and also for the Premier League.

If a supposed big 6 club is so far behind Liverpool that we are forced to feed off their scraps and fund their big moves for superstars, the league is only getting even more boring than last year
5 years ago, we had just finished above Liverpool 9 seasons in a row. How did we let it get so messed up?
