Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The problem is; should we try and fail in that then the wailing on here about being "we tried FC" will be deafening.......

See: Paz...... And people's attitude toward us being linked to Rogers.



....But yeh; let's have stab at Rogers. Bring it on. 👍
Might be a bit late in the window to be scrambling the way we are . The defenders can’t have it both ways , transfers are really complicated , not like buying a pint of milk ( yawn). Then try to secure elite talent from a rival knowing they will need to spend that fee strengthening when transfers are complicated, not like buying a pint of milk ( double yawn)
 
Did say earlier in window this will be record transfer spend. Think its 2.5 billion atm. Crazy. All the problems in the world yet football clubs spend 2.5 billion on football players and agents. Ludicrous tbh.
The underreported story for me is the nature of the flows, into the PL and Saudi and out of the rest of the continent.

The balance of power has changed dramatically in the last decade.
 
People doing these diversion tactics and coping mechanisms to make themselves feel better. "Oh Romano is against us", "oh look at you giving credit to Woolwich", 'oh there's not many options in the market".

We have been mugged off and all the anger should be directed at the board. They have absolutely done a number on us(again) and they have zero shame about it.
Another superb post.
Glad to see some common sense prevailing these last few pages and drowning out the "ooh you must be a gooner" twaddle being spouted out by a bunch losers with sand in their sponge.
 
So can somebody who knows amd understands finances explain to me.....

We have 270m woggle room with regards to psr.
Now I understand we dont actually have 270m sitting in an account, it just means we could spend upto that amount before breaching any rules
So does that mean that enic COULD put 270m into the club and spend if they wanted to but have chosen not too?l/dont want too?

If thats the case then they are simply looking after there asset i feel rather than trying to win.
 
A number of people on here are missing the frustration of others imo.
We now have a coach who is tactically astute and by all accounts a good man manager. We have a very decent squad of youth and experience that failed miserably last season due to having a coach that wasn't tactically astute.
What most are seeing and asking with absolute justification is invest in some real quality to add to this blend of youth and experience that have bonded through some success (EL) and adversity and there is a very good chance that we can step up a level and be genuine contenders in all things domestic this season.
 
Chelsea have won a bloody Champions League in the meantime.

Touche........ But they didn't manage to build on it and are back to toiling and burning cheque after cheque whilst stability eludes them.

Liverpool didn't run City closest with those players. They finished below us ( I think) in 2018. They started getting close to them, the moment they spent a shit load on Allisson and Van Dijk.

Mate

Their first XI that won the league in 20/21 contained ALL the players I mentioned:

Liverpool 3 - Man City 1


Hell... Even shitty Lovren was starting big games at times.



They also ALL featured in the CL final when they beat us:


Only this time with a freebie CB instead of Lovren.

Don't try to rewrite history.

Facts say otherwise... Wanna retract that?

This is exactly the case, yes.
 
Have we got a buy back clause on Harry Winks , surely even Levy couldn’t fuck that up .
