Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

As this thread's depressingly full of wrecked dreams, forlorn hopes and frustrated aspirations, let's focus on the milk for a few seconds (cue the interlude music)...

Remember this?...

Even the winters were better back then but that pissed me off. Frozen milk was a cunt. Milk boys were hard as fuck too back in the day. I used to bounce of that float with 4 bottles in each hand. 😂😂😂

No central heating, single glazed windows, condensation, white dog shit, deposits on glass bottles of pop, as well as having your milk stolen off the doorstep or by Thatcher at school.

They say times are hard too.
 
Mate! If you think our performances on EPL and EL pitches were acceptable with this squad of players, then that's your opinion and I'm guessing music to the ears of our owners.

But me, I thought we were shite last season and road our luck a number of times to win The EL.
Anyone imo who watches football regularly knows this squad is not up to challenging for top honours next season and we should have prepared for major upgrades to address this once the window opened.

I will be happy to be proved wrong and over the next 2 weeks we jettison the deadwood and recruit 3-4 top class additions to our starting 11.
My views have fuck to do with the owners. I support the club and celebrate our achievements and have little regard for the owners. Winning the 2nd biggest European Cup competition is an achievement and clearly from the celebrations after so do many supporters. Having watched many of our winning cup runs there is always a degree of luck on the way. The CL run to the final a prime example.
I also am far from happy with the squad we have at present. Injuries to Maddison, Kula, Udogie, Solanke & Dragusin and Son leaving have made it worse.
However my point to which you replied was I was fed up with the constant reminders that we finished 17th rather than we were the Europa Cup winners. Neither has any bearing on the fact which most agree that as you say this squad is not up to challenging for the PL or CL this season.
 
Who do you hold responsible

Father Christmas?

Answer my question of the other day and provide what you think would be considered acceptable to you, in terms of expenditure and accompanying achievement.

I'm not even asking you to provide the names of possible targets. Just simply what would be outlay that fans could look at and say the board/owners have done their bit, and then what kind of success on the field that would enable you to praise the team?

I told you, you offer nothing of value, other than posting your anti-Levy/ENIC tripe, and thats not value as opposed to banging the same drum in exactly the same place.

"We can't win anything under Levy/ENIC".....oh wait.
 
Not improving the team is small time.

You're focused on the wrong things

Two things can be small time mate.

We have improved in a couple of areas and need to improve in a few more. We haven't done so yet and rather than at least wait till the end of the window these clowns are talking about protesting... not even giving the manager and players a chance to show what they can do in a competitive match.

Embarrassing.
 
Me too.
Genuine post of the Thread contender.

Well done Brent Brent 🥉

In fact Admin should make every fucker read it, learn from it, and then agree with it as a method of proving your Spurs credentials and keeping out imposters and trolls.
It was just a rant, mate, but thanks. Looks like I've run out of patience with the owners and am full on Levy out. ☹️
 
We’ve seen lots of reports taking about how the club are thinking,, planning, scheming, talking, enquiring, pondering, analysing and evaluating.

Everything but actually making the top quality signings required for us to compete.

Levy and ENIC are parasites. They have got to go. We are a banter club.
 
Man Utd acting like a big team who just finished in the bottom half us acting like a small team who hasn’t just won a trophy
United always spend. Only Madrid has more revenue than they do, they have an annual turnover of nearly £150M more than we do. Their ownership group is worth 5-6X more than ours. They're the most decorated English clubs in modern history.

Apples to oranges, really.
 
To Dare is to Do Nothing.

Absolutely diabolical, shambolic.

We will end up overpaying for an average journeyman who will clog up the squad for the following 4 years which will block any further incoming.

I thought this europa league win was going to 'set us on a path to the top'?

How does he keep on surviving? How do people actually support him?
 
Don't agree one iota with your last 4 letters. Utterly unacceptable.

The rest,nearly agree 100,%. It's not good enough, with the only metric approaching reasonable, being that of a squad with some potential. I think that offers the one glimmer of hope by 2027/8.

But the view at present is quite grim or at least not optimistic
Yeah, you're right... it is unacceptable... a cunts fucking useful unlike Levy.
