Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Frank doesn't seem to have a lot of pull with outside players. His best finish is 9th so I think a lot of high quality players will steer clear.
This 'no other club wanted them so they're rubbish' take pointless. It's up the with 'why are club x selling?'.
Shit happens. Some players don't work out at one club but thrive at others.
West Ham 'weren't bothered' cos they say Kudus wanted out and downed tools last season. When he first joined they loved him.
Palhinha was so good at Fulham that Bayern bought him. Then they changed managers, changed style and he got injured.
Also, you can't attack the club for not paying the wages that other do, then complain when we sign players seemingly without any competition. If we can't compete for signings because of miserly ENIC then we can only go for players without too much competition.
The video interview was a fucking disaster for those two sentences. He didn't say we need to win them this season and he didn't say we need to win them eventually (that I think it's pretty fucking obvious but internet). Agree I think we should be made more aware of our position going in the window but that's just not football.
Newcastle about to lose their biggest player and Everton lost 6 players who were starting for them at the end of last season. Again is rather it all be done in time for the start of the season but that's football and that's us, I feel totally fine not capitulating until the end of the window, still 4 games and 20 hamstrings to pop by then anyway.
If we stuck to transfer news there'd be about 4 posts

Everyone who follows Spurs closely knew Sonny was leaving!
You think we could announce Kane's return?
That certainly would be left field.
Yup.
Say hi to Ben Mee, Kyle Naughton, Barry Bannan and Will Keane.
Oh boy.....
I dont think we will at all. I've just got a little 3% chance in my head where;
*Kanes won his wanky plate already
*He's probably just at the limit of coming back and beating the premier league scoring record
*His massive house he's been building for years is finished
*We need a 10 and I always thought that's where he'd play in his twilight 'a la Rooney's
I'm 95% sure he's staying in Bayern.
Been saying all summer that a 35% WTR was Levy's primary objective.
If we ain't there yet, we will be as soon as we shift Romero, Biss/Rod and Richy...only to replace them with the likes of that Leicester kid and some other below par but cheap body.
I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make. Are you saying these two are top players or are you defending our transfer policy.
And I absolutely can attack the club when we continue to pay big salaries OR big wages but never both. Which generally leads to us over paying for bang average players (see Solanke) or picking up players none of our "rivals" are interested in (see Kudus).

I will take that 3%
I know it won't happen......but Kane in this team changes everything.
Ah mate, I promised myself I wouldn't have a wank today.
Well just failed then.
I guess ultimately I'm trying to say that, as always, the arguments in this thread, and the wider forum in general, are all over the place and contradictory.
I hope Kudus can be that guy. As a Swede I'm always looking forward to watching Bergvall. I hope he can take more steps this season. Odobert had shown some promise this pre-season. Tel. I don't know, I hope, but at the moment, I don't see it.
The other thing is if I'm Kane the only thing I'd care about now is being the all-time top scorer in the premier league and for England. Bayern aren't gonna win the champions league with that megamind headed nonce as their manager, who gives a fuck if he wins another Bundesliga. He's got the trophyless bollocks gone and so have we.
I'm at 3.5%
I’m sceptical, a name out of nowhere that people will try to convince is an under the radar gem. No one even mentioned him last season as an interesting player, here or in the wider football media. That’s not everything maybe but yes sceptical. What sort of player is he?
you've started to see fake spurs shirts being sold on the markets here in Spain and in football shirt stores in the US in the last decade. I think we're catching up on them
They may well be. But doubt is permitted considering Kudus was bang average last season and Palhinha failed spectacularly at Bayern (on top of missing 90 days/20ish games through injury).
End of the day, the main reason they are here is cause West Ham were in the shite and Bayern desperately wanted rid of the Portuguese (ditto Tel).
