Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Been watching El Kannouss.

Took him 10mins or so to be visible in the game. He’s had one decent half volley which went just wide of the post.

He seems to have a role where he’s allowed to wander a bit. Playing centrally but popping up on the wings especially the right, where a few times he’s tried whipping the ball in for strikers to get their head on.

Doesn’t look particularly quick as such, he’s a bit of a glider, as opposed to a pace merchant. Certainly more of a passer than someone who’s going to be taking people on in one on one’s based on this, although at least once he’s taken a touch beyond an outstretched foot to give himself a bit of space.

Seems to be decent in terms of his technique, though he’s just taken a foul throw.

Probably harsh when this is one of the first times I’ve really specifically paid attention to him, but certainly seems to be in the ‘last minute budget option’ section of players for us should we go for him.


I wouldn't be against signing him as a squad option but we would have to sign someone else as well
 
People will still watch that Wharton performance today and STILL say ‘I don’t get the hype’

Unless a player does some step overs and dribbles past 4 players then they’re written off these days.

He’ll be at an elite club by the end of the World Cup. Missed that boat now as well I expect.

Elliot and Eze missed their pens. Feels like they’re telling us they’re ready. 👀
 
Yeah but the question was, when did he do well? He didn’t. He showed that he was no where near ready for premier league football. He was weak as piss. He needs to have a big season in Scotland this year. If he’s not cutting it up there it’s not looking good for him.

People on here thought we had a generational talent like Rooney on our books. Absolutely not.
People never learn. How many 17-year-olds can beat up a 27-year-old of similar size? His body was still growing and filling out last year, plus he had a nasty illness by all accounts.
 
Why are people so hell bent on blaming Lange? He has been given an impossible job by levy, find top players, who no one else wants and are willing to play for less wages they can get at almost any other club, at some clubs double/treble the amount. Eze come to us for 100k a week or go to scum for 200k? Unless he unearths lesser known gems like bergvail, he has little chance of getting established players.
My big complaint about him is his inability to sell players, but suspect that may be a levy legacy issue, say all clubs are fed up dealing with him and his reported constant moving of the goalposts that it is just easier to shop elsewhere and basically boycott us.
Under a week to another final and the start of the new season with gaps all over the place as per usual, negligence yet again, will never change under this lot.
I also think last season was disastrous for perceptions of how players and agents see us as a club. Yes, United has managed to get players to sign for big wages, but of course we’ll never do that.
 
Levy isn't putting sixty million up front, he struggles to accept putting up sixty million over five years.
Eze is never happening. I'm just saying thats the only potential signing who might save the window.

This transfer window has been a shambles and we are heading for a midtable finish in the league with no runs in the cup at all.

I feel bad for keeping Romero now. Waisting a good year of his career. Atleast VDV is young and is still learning. But Romero deserves to be competing every year, he was so good for us in the Europa League final last year. I don't blame him for running down his contract now and going for cheap next summer. We've given him no alternative.
 
Gold is nothing more than an apologist for the Club. He offers nothing new but a verbal replay of every game, the quips he has with or from the manager, and a gentle irrelevant dig at our transfer policy.
He will never risk his press pass or wrath of a manager of Spurs, he's just too afraid to state the truth

It's his livelihood, what do you expect him to do???

In his own way he has been critical of the club, he doesn't have to be an obnoxious wanker to get his point across.

He is just a very mild mannered person reporting on his favourite football club. If you want hard hitting opinions there are plenty of YouTube fan vloggers to follow
 
Than three years ago sure, but Spurs, United, Woolwich and City all took big steps backward in terms of their point total with Villa, Newcastle and Chelsea collectively standing in place.

It's an extremely deep league now as of the competitive elevation of Villa and Newcastle and will be going forward, but nobody really hit the heights we've been used to seeing last year, Liverpool were just the least misfiring.

Standing pat with an excellent side proved to be wise (which has absolutely no relation whatsoever to Spurs situation and is absurd on its face to raise in that context, utterly laughable Levybot bullshit), but they didn't really improve.
I just don’t think that’s true.

How did City and Woolwich go backwards despite strengthening in the transfer windows?
 
Read weve had a 43m bid rejected for ferran torres

El Khannouss gets an assist, he delivers the free kick for leicesters goal, albeit it was less the ball in and more the quality of the defending which gets the goal.
