Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Morgan Gibbs-White - paid the release clause, chairman blocked the move

Eberechi Eze - agreement In place with another team while ITK spouted IDK

Nice Paz - player doesn't want to leave his club, neither do Real Madrid
that last one, I'm not sure about. we don't have enough info. the only thing I've read in the spanish press is that RM would welcome the sell on clause as they need money to reinvest in their squad. also what paz was quoted as saying in italian doesn't mean much
 
I really don't know where we go from here

It looks like our options are underwhelming, and time is running out

What a travesty to hire the right manager but not give him the tools he needs 😥

Also, if it's true that Lange has been on holiday during our most embarrassing window, I don't know where to start
Lange might well be crap but maybe he is disaffected, who knows if he has had countless suggestions ignored or opportunities messed up . I am not saying that is the case but can anyone say Levy has had a smooth relationship with any DOF . Can’t really count Paratici because of the ban in my opinion , but maybe Lange thought what’s the fecking point , he wouldn’t be the first .

We don't know after 2 games if we have hired the right manager. Way too premature to even suggest that, but it is an utter disgrace to be a club our size and, to be so ill-preoared for a summer tramsfer window, operating as though we did not know summer was coming.

We absolutely stink the place out with our lack of competence.

Let's hope without much reason that we have one or two decent deals to make.

Levy is going to have the season from he'll, regardless of how the team do, and he will deserve it, if we fail to bring in 2/3 better than average players.
 
A good bit of talk on here re Hincapie, do people really think we will spend 58-60m (depending on which release clause report you believe) on a rotation option?! A fee at that level would make him our 4th most expensive signing ever.
I'm really frustrated with how this window has worked out but some people seem to be setting themselves up to get let down / frustrated if they believe all the rumours such as this one and being able to get Paz or Rodrygo.

Big clubs wouldn't even think twice about doing that. That's the point. £52m represents good value for money in this market.

We know that VDV's style of play makes injury likely. The way I see it is we'd be playing £52m for a starting centre back for half the season, a quality centre back when we play 3 at the back, much needed cover/rotation at LB.

CAM isn't happening for us. We've left it too late, might as well cover the positions we can.

But you're right. It aint happening. We're a banter club under ENIC/Levy.
 

Who Is This Snl GIF by Saturday Night Live
 
If PSG want to sell Kang-in so they can buy Akilouche, then why are we going for the former rather than the latter? I haven’t seen either play much except for some highlights. Can someone who’s seen them both give an opinion as to who is better and if they are better than BEK or Paqueta? Hey, I guess I’m just asking which 10 is our best option? Also if they’re not HG does that squeeze the non HG list for the CL?
Who misses out beside Dragusin, Kulu and Maddison?
Competing with PSG for a player they want is never going to end well , I’m sure Daniel on that basis is all over it

And whoever we do go with will have the pride of knowing they were (at least) our fourth choice. Doing business this late in the window is like when the discotheque lights come on at 2am and having been rejected by all the pretty girls, Levy is at the bar and saying to anyone that’s left “you’ll do’…
