Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I suspect very few of the moaners would be happy if we won a trophy every five years. We win a trophy less than 3 months ago and look at the commentary over the summer.

You think winning an FA cup in five years would change that?

Or would it be the trophy in ten years that would finally make them happy?

The point of those comments isn’t to make anyone actually go to support another team. As you say no one expect that. It’s to get them to consider what they really value about supporting spurs. To read a lot of their posts, it’s hard to see what they even like about it.
The penny needs to drop with you .It is quite easy to love the club , love the team , love attending games or watching on tv , whilst thinking ENIC are an odious ownership . Not sure why you cannot see the difference, but if you could you wouldn’t be taking bullets for Daniel
 
Oh come on, posters want to follow up on that success and strengthen the team, push on, like we didn't do after reaching the Champions League final, and the bloke that managed the team in the Europa final win was sacked because the league form was diabolical, unacceptable.

However the club are more important now on the international football scene after winning the recent trophy, so now is a good time to recruit better players and push on.

It's debatable that some of the players in the squad are good enough, and the club needs at least one star player to replace Son.

If you want to ignore all this and put it down to moaning, that's up to you, I don't think you're being very reasonable though.

I suspect if Eze and Savinho are acquired this transfer window (the clock is ticking) you'll see less of what you seemingly consider to be a negative waste of time on the forum.
Im not arguing the right or wrongs of that. I’m just saying that winning a trophy every five years wouldnt make these people happy.

For years it was about trophies. Until we won and now there’s something else.

For years it was about transfer spending. Until we spent a lot and now it’s wages to revenue.
 
Notts Forest have just announced they have signed Arnaud Kalimuendo - that's in addition to Hutchinson, McAtee and they are after Douglas Luiz.

Good signings - lots of potential there.

But expensive for a club of Forest's size at well over £100m in fees, and they've only sold Elanga for £55m.

I don't think its Chairman will be putting in the difference, so they've either taken on a lot of borrowing or are still to sell a player ........ MGW Part Deux ?
 
Can't see another cm this summer at all. We've got too many numbers. Frank really likes bentancur too.
Id rather hold fire and go for a top cm next summer. Unless bentancur doesn't sign a deal and we sell.

I FULLY agree with that key point.

Your posts (and you are a classic example) do not reflect your love of the club, the team, watching or attending matches. If they did all those things AND you criticised the owners, that would be VERY different.

Your whole identity on here is hating the owners.

When will that penny drop?

Their owner is a possible heroin kingpin. Had over $200 million of heroin found on one of his ships but they couldn’t trace it back to him or prove it.

They nearly got docked points for PSR violations didn’t they? Not sure where the money is coming from.

Yes, somethings not right there. Aren't they already treading water with regards to PSR?

And its also absolutely true that a number of the biggest moaners on TFC for some reason disappear when Spurs win, but are prominent when we lose.

Yet still claim to be Spurs supporters, which many people have now realised probably is not true.

John/Joan Thomas (or whoever his current name is) is the obvious example of someone who claims to love Spurs and hate enic - 'not one brick' has a demonstrable record of lies too. Funny that.
 
Looks like Eze may well happen … curious to know whether fellow fans would prefer Hincapie to Savio if we could only do one? We’re still a hamstring injury to VDV away from a difficult spell IMO. Depends on when Kulu is expected back too.

We are actively looking to sell Bissouma and Bentancur has interest from Turkey.

Tbh even if we sell both I don't see it as Eze is signing to be one of the 3 midfield options. That leaves Bergvall, Sarr, Gray and Palhinha to fight out the remaining two positions.

The only way I see it is if we sell Bentancur, Bissouma and loan out Gray.

I think Savinho would make a much bigger impact for us. Big fan of VDV, but we would be perfectly fine with Romero + Danso as well.
