Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

How are they doing anything to benefit the club right now? The overwhelming majority of fans are wanting them out.

We built this stadium that "would allow us to compete at the top table". We have revenue streams coming in that dwarfed most of the league. We have ridiculous PSR breathing room.

Yet we "can't" compete with those around us. Liverpool are not that much better off financially than we are, why is that they're able to go and spend twice our record on a player? Why are we only giving up 40%, a league low in wages to turnover ratio? Wages are what drives success now, but we're dead last in the league.

We've spent over £100m on firing managers in the league since ENIC took over. We make more misses than hits with recruitment. We've been through more DoF's and technical directors than most have had dinners.

And who is it that keeps making these same mistakes, over and over and over again? Great business man, yes, nobody is debating that, but if the last 25 years have shown us anything, it's that there's one common denominator overseeing all of this. Too proud to sit in the background and leave it up to people who know and understand the footballing aspect of running a club.

Funny you should I just emojis or LOL. I very rarely ise emojis and never say LOL.

Well 1) that's exactly what you did to my post (twice in succession) and 2) I didn't say you ONLY posted emojis outright (you're clearly not shy of the wall of text approach); I referred to a scenario which absolutely tracks.

So yeh.... "Disingenuous" is an increasingly fair criticism.

You're again, being absolutely nothing to your argument and sidetracking, again.

Eh? I've not sought to present an argument deeper than what I already put to you.......

..........Pray tell; what's this argument you're hoping to project onto me?

We are within our means to be a massive club, they choose not to because they want to extract as much bottom line out of the club as possible. Why do you go out of your way to defend it? What good is being done right now to move this team forward?

I doubt I'll get an actual debate.

Well no.... I'm not your dancing monkey. I'll engage as and when on my own terms thx.

Bottom line here is unless one is a vehemently opposed to every facet of our ownership; you'll continue to frame them as brainwashed followers (or some other crap).... Blind to the fact you are every bit as extreme on the 'scale' of opinion as those whom you're set up in opposition to.


With the respect... You may have kicked up a gear as a poster here in recent weeks; but your opinions and shtick here are absolutely nothing new.

In the meantime, if you wanna debate opinions I have actually cast; fill your boots in due course.... You'll find I'm perfectly happy to fight my corner when I see fit.
 
Look Up Fc Bayern GIF by Bundesliga
:levywhoa:

Nah he’s not taking it I’m sure.

At this rate they’ll have to ask Ben Davies to wear it as a tribute
 
Who is getting #7 from Son?

Guaranteed none of the current squad will want it because they love him that much.

Is Levy really going to sign a kid like El Khannouss and saddle him with the pressure of way overproduction for his age and Son’s #7 shirt?
Keep it empty for this season, see if the likes of Odobert or a new signing or best case scenario Mikey Moore shows themselves worthy of it.

Yer I think thats the guy we will sign, job done.

How do I know? Because hes the cheapest and most readily available option out there, literally is the bottom of the list option from a candidates possible. Plus hes at Leicester so its easy pickings.

He has got talent to work with but hes yet another that is going to take time to develop and even show consistency. We are in the CL fgs.
I am really suspicious of this one. I see the natural talent, but I am really not prepared to forgive him on any of the possible bases (age, teammates, coaching) for how absolutely pathetic Leicester was in attack when he was playing as CAM.
 
Why can’t we sell our shite to Saudi?!

Mad that these other clubs are now just buying who they want with little risk because they’ll get most of the dollar back from Saudi - meanwhile we’ve still got Bryan Gil ffs.
 
Why can’t we sell our shite to Saudi?!
Saudi have made megabucks pursuits of both Sonny and Richy, neither player was willing to go.

One part a club culture that doesn't push people toward the exit door hard enough, but two parts just bad luck.

A different version of Richarlison grabs the Saudi money to go be Neymar's buddy the same way Joao Felix has grabbed the money to go be Ronaldo's buddy.

Everyone has an emotional desire to draw conspiracies around it somehow, but the reality is just a dull disappointment.

Hahaha yep, exactly what I thought. Absolutely nothing and the "I don't want to debate".

If you're going to tell everyone how stupid they are or wrong, at least present a logical argument. Yet, here you are calling me "brainwashed" when I prevented you with facts.

If you can't have a coherent argument, you have no right to call anyone anything. This is why no one l, but you're other 3 or 4 cheerleaders take you seriously.
