Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Interestingly, Rodrygo has never had a season in La Liga where he had as many G/As as Savinho's final season for Girona. Could be because he was forced to play out of position?

Obviously … Savinho was the main man at Girona, Rodrygo was a second fiddle at Madrid. I’m not even totally huge on the idea of Rodrygo the megastar but if he plays in his preferred position for a whole season he does a lot more than score one premier league goal I’ll tell you that.

He’s the more complete, well rounded, ready now player by far. Mentioning us in his convo is pointless as we won’t touch the wages. Him to city while we take the much more raw player makes sense for both clubs.
 
I knew this would end up happening hence my tantrum the day Ben Davies got the contract extension.

Ofcourse I was told to calm down on here and was told that this would have no impact on us signing a new left back!

We here we are in August, 2 days before the super cup. Udogie injured and no new left back signed. It was so predictable.
I'm with you,

I think the logic is Spence backs up Udogie and Gray backs up Porro but Udogie is so unreliable fitness wise I wouldn't be against trying to bring someone in to complete with him for the no. 1 spot on the left side.
 
This seems a really weird transfer - none of it makes a lot of sense. We do like picking up young exciting talent, but almost never established first team players from other clubs at the top of the PL. Normally its a punt or a recently relegated club we are speculating on the player coming good.

City get money out of this of course, but they dont "need" it and are about to shift Grealish's wages.

We still dont solve the number 10 issue unless the idea is to put Kudus there till Maddison or Kulu return. Weve got Johnson, Tel and Odobert already in the wing positions - Richy can also play that inside left role, and Mikey Moore will return next year and be trying to get in the squad more often. The glaring problem we have is our very "functional" midfield with Bergvall the only real box to box player after MGW didnt get over the line, and a load of DM's that arent creative.

It just feels like a deliberate "Levy Leak" about an exciting player we'd all love to see here, then for it to not happen even though the club "tried its best" - heard that record before
 
Palace confirmed in Conference league.
Absolutely sucks for them and totally unfair IMO.

fuck em, most of their fans have a soft spot for the scum.
 
Just how bad are our twitter ITK accounts? We had a well known account going on about Eze on Saturday and saying how Woolwich have pulled out. He was also hyping Jack Grealish on loan. 2 days later and we have moved for Savinho (Nobody saw that coming), Jack Grealish is going to Everton and Woolwich are still poised to get Eze before the window closes.

I don't like Lange. I've been vocal about that all Summer. But I have to give credit where its due. He has done some job at feeding down absolute garbage to all our apparent "leaks" and ITK accounts. They've been chasing their own tail all summer and haven't had a clue whats been going on behind the scenes. Even on a personal level, I know a few people well connected to the club and even they don't seem to know whats going on. Nothing they've told me has materialised this summer while other years they'd be on the money!

I'm at the stage now where I'm tempted to start ignoring/blocking all these big Tottenham fan accounts and ITK accounts because they just post nonsense. Wait for the real journalists to tell you when a deal is done. I don't see one good ITK account from spurs who has beaten Ornstein or Romano to a transfer this Summer.

ITK has been dead for a good couple of years. The only stuff that comes out is random bits and pieces the most recent being like a saw on SC when we sacked Ange and a poster on there said their mate was a driver for one of the Brentford coaches who said they were probably going to spurs.

The rest of the ITKers is just people making it up. They might get lucky with a post here or there but it’s no more than that. They’re just guessing.
