Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yeah I'm getting on a bit. The beard is growing greyer by the day, I've got aches in parts of my body I didn't even know existed, my erections are like 60% of what they used to be...but hey, we ain't Bazali Bazali or Bill Madrid Bill Madrid old so that's that 😂
Hahaha, I remember those "60% erections". Oh boy, those were the days.

:frankfacepalm:
 
IMO he was excellent in the 23/24 loan

Happy Excuse Me GIF
 
He’s a punt. He was very good then had a bad injury and is coming off a poor season. We have no idea if that same player is still going to rock up at Spurs and no idea if he can translate being very good at tackling to being particularly great at a top 6 team.

He’s available on loan and we had a free run at his transfer for a reason. If he was so super duper proven real deal great, Levy would be running away from a bidding war.
One note on the injury it was an adductor injury and I think Bayern where in a good place to let that heal properly. Bayern have a fucking great medical team and enough strength in depth in general to cope without rushing players back a la us. Another note for us is adductor injuries are pretty notorious for reoccurring :ange-blow:
 
For one of the top richest clubs in the world, we are so underwhelming in everything that we do.

The end.
I think this post-Tanguy/Lo Celso business follows a very clear pattern. Levy is terrified of players becoming Ndombele. Thus we do two sorts of transfers - young “wonderkids” who we talk ourselves into off potential, some which are brilliant: Van de Ven, Udogie, Sarr, Bergvall among others.

For big money though he’s spooked and no longer cocksure. We do long protracted searches where every data metric must be checked and so now every signing over £35m has been Solanke, Richarlison, Kudus, Johnson, Romero, Maddison. Romero is the only one who’s actually top class. It’s just very uninspiring and not at all creative. Look at those players; to be frank , ‘Arry Redknapp in the 2020s could’ve bought them all with no sporting director necessary.
 
No, he was top scorer in 21/22.
The next season he got 10 and was looking spent. I remember people calling for his head and he was benched.
And then came off fhe bench to score a hat trick against Leicester and turn the game around. 3 of his 10 goals in 1 half of football.
There was a poster on here - thankfully now banned, although he may have reappeared under a new guise - who incredibly called him a "coward". Repeatedly.

Jesus fucking wept.
