Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Armstrong dovetailed with Sheringham beautifully in his first season (22 in 45 all comps), sadly he could never stay fit afterwards. I hate the revisionism on him, because injuries done him in.

A Sheringham/Bergkamp front 2 (quality as it sounds on paper) would have had no In behind threat.

In 1995, Replacing Nicky Barmby with Andy Sinton caused far more damage IMO - Fans love getting angry at the wrong things.
Bergkamp though, could have changed the entire direction of the club. I mean, we'd meet Wenger when we signed Klinsmann.
It so easily could have been us.
 
I had similar on another forum and on top of the misinformation regarding an obligation to buy I was chastised for not recognising talent when I saw it and not giving the player a chance etc. 🤣 I mean WTAF? We're not professional scouts ffs we're unqualified viewers using our minces to draw our own conclusions (rightly or wrongly) whether or not there is an actual baller out there in front of us.

Not interested in proponents cries of 'there's a pass in him' if it's every 5 games or so and I don't care if I'm proved wrong about a player...in fact I insist upon it.
Internet football fans are the worst. They watch highlights and think they're elite scouts.
 
Finally, we are now linked with an £80 mil striker! Yes get in!

:var:

Oh it's Nicholas Jackson ffs

The man setting the agenda at the top.

If Levy had a boss who valued the performance of the footy side more he could have been sacked at least 6 times
End of season performance review:levystare:this season hasnt been good enough

:levywtf: i did my best boss, its these pescy managers they keep letting us down and that Lange is a complete ass wipe

:levyhands: never mind have a massive bonus

:levylol: yes, get in... I'll tell Frank the bad news
 
Feels like this season is hanging on Frank (and his coaching team's) ability to coach improvements out of our current players which might mean we improve over the season Vs Ange's gung-ho tactics which were found out and we got worse, especially when compounded by injuries.

I think that the negative vibes set up by the transfer window and Maddison's injury means that there will be no patience for a slow start among the fanbase. Levy needs to be buying some good will as well as quality players in the remainder of this transfer window to give Frank a chance to improve what we have as a team
 
Where does the club finish the year as currently constituted, and knowing the number of fixtures we face?

Relegation a real threat this time…?
I think we'll be a bit better off in the league due to having a tactically good manager. I think somewhere around top of the bottom half of the league. I think cups will go much the same way as last season and champions league we will get embarrassed like yesterday.
