Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

You want me to quote 5000 messages. Look nothing personal but let’s cut the disingenuous bullshit and mental gymnastics. You argue against any dissenting ENIC opinion. Literally every single one. It’s the case unless you just like arguing for no reason.

You don't seem to understand the difference between me disagreeing with others' hyperbole and defending ENIC.
 
Why are we assisting Woolwich? We didn't "assist" them with Eze, he chose Woolwich over us.

There are a dozen or more teams in Europe that can afford him.

We have brought in two exceptional players who have transformed the team in less than a month.

A centre back isn't critical, a number 10 is.

"neglect-fest" is total guff, ffs grow up and act your age not your shoe size.
We could have paid his release clause.

And also ponied up before Havertz got injured.

Anyone buying that this player wasn't gettable is wrong.

He wanted scum, but many players have their preference before taking a good deal form another club that slaps it on the table.

Wouldn't have been unusual.
 
Go for players that we actually have a chance of signing and quit wasting everyones time pretending like we have any chance signing villas best player for 80m plus near the end of the window.

MGW, Kudus, Pauli, Eze all seemed get-able..... Sav less so; but no harm in trying there either.

When the options start to dry up, then you have to stretch a bit more, no? .......Isn't the most important thing to not get bogged down?

Bid > "yes/no" > move on if "no".

Doesn't seem we wasted a whole lot of time on Paz & Hincapie; so no harm done.




..................Couldn't give a shit about the optics of a few "no" answers if the end outcome is sufficient.

The reason I say fall guy, is because Lange is clearly targetting the right players, but we can't fucking sign them, and it's always down to financials.

Don't get distracted.
It’s not strictly down to financials if he targets players that aren’t easy to get over the line.

I don’t think it’s been the money that’s been the issue, it’s all the associated trip wires attached to every target and with seemingly no realistic back up option ready to go.

That’s on Lange if it’s on anyone.
 
People are allowed holidays etc but teachers aren’t allowed term time off. The cunts in charge of transfers also shouldn’t allowed to holiday during transfer windows.

Who the fuck allowed that.

Something similar happened last season too; where one of the players had to seek external medical help cos the necessary medical peeps was on holiday......

Simple things to get right.... Shouldn't be allowed to happen.
 
So you think we should just suck it up and enjoy the ride or something?

You realise they're supposed to be our big rivals, yeah? Do you think their fans would be so passive and bent over like yourself if the roles were reversed???

Some fans have to work and mix with these cunts on a daily basis

Sort yourself out ffs

We haven't been in touching distance of Woolwich for over half a decade.

Deal with it.

Arteta has now spent more than Pep on players.

For what?
