Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Most reports are suggesting that Pep has put the kybosh on Savinho coming here.


Let's just face it, we're in the nightclub at five minutes to two in the morning, and we're fast running out of options.

:davieshmm:

10 days to go .......
I've been there many times... trust me, you ain't going to like what we end up with. Come on Wayne, I know you've retired but one last season. Colleen won't mind.
 
We'll soon be going into the acceptance phase for Dibling. Hang on guys, we'll get through this.

Levy will be happy that the Eze deal fell apart, he never wanted to spend the money. Now he can do what he wanted to do all along and focus on signing players who got relegated last season and players that big clubs are desperate to get rid of. Dibling, El Khannous, Garnacho, Jackson, this is the market Levy loves to operate in.
You are suggesting he is devious rather than incompetent. No I think he was incompetent.

Him always trying to be devious is what makes him incompetent.

His priority is never to get the player signed. His priority is to win the deal, that’s why he drags out negotiations, offers players in part exchange, haggles over bonus clauses, lowballs etc.

Very few clubs in the PL will put up with that shit anymore which is why Levy has found it almost impossible to buy quality from within this league. The other chairman despise him and have enough money to resist his stupid methods. If you want to buy a PL player, pay the money and get it done. The days of haggling are over.
 
We had better not panic and waste £40m+ on Tyler Dibling ... 2 goals and 1 assist in 33 PL games. Dibling is further behind the likes of Tel, Odobert, and comparable to MIkey Moore, in terms of development. If we cannot get the established #10 to take us to a new level (i.e. to compete for the CL and PL) then the last thing we need this window is wasting £40m on another kid who is not ready yet and will prevent us from buying a world class #10 in January.

Levy simply has to go all in on getting a top target this summer, even if it means overpaying. Savio and Rogers should be what he is aiming for at a minimum. He should even try a hail mary for Rodrygo as a 1-season loan (in a world cup year), and pay all his wages as well as a big loan fee (£10-20M).
 
How fucking hard is it to say “£65m yes or no?”.

If it’s “yes”. Great. If it’s “no”. MOVE ONTO THE FUCKING NEXT ONE.

So fucking sick of the mystery surrounding behind the scenes management of a club. Full to the brim of numpties who have fallen upwards and would get eaten alive in the real world, in a real job.
