Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

To suggest that you can 'tell a player after five minutes' is total bollocks mate.

How many loans did Kane have, Walker and Rose both went out on loan before hitting the big time.

Kane to Orient as i remember.

Where was your post clamouring for us to buy Kudus, Udogie, Micky or Bergvall?

If you can 'tell a player after five minutes' apply for a job here, you will likely get an immediate start.

Sometimes you can

A Luton scout invited me to train with Luton (pleat was there at the time)

I declined but couple years later he asked my brother to go up there

There was a lot my pals in and around that Luton youth and we got to know this scout well

He used to say within 10 minutes he knew if he was staying to watch a player for the full half or up the road to the next player

Youth football I know but still

(Side note I had a lot more respect for Jim Smith Portsmouth than I did Pleat)
 
So it’s decided then. No signings and we’ll just blame Lange, sack him and bring in Paratici with promises that things will be different next summer 💀

I love this club.
 
It's easy to forget that we just won a major European trophy and will be playing in the CL this season. We're certainly not acting like it.
I mean lack of money is one thing.

But seriously, is there in fact a director of football operating at the club at this moment, 6 days from close of the window?

We've got any number of problems, but literally just not operating a professional transfer department was a dragon I'd thought we'd slain

This is the kind of operational breakdown that destroyed Poch's team.

I've seen every game he's played here. I've seen lots of games at Bayern and he didn't exactly look amazing. I didn't even want them to sign him on loan, based off those observations.

You're absolutely full of shit, continuously. You make snarky, snide comments and you're always off base and you say absolutely nothing while thinking you're smart.

What's so great about him? Please tell me, since I'm obviously so misinformed and pale in comparison to your superior footballing mind?

I support the club, not the players, and certainly not the chairman, as you seem to.

Bore off, mate.

You support the club, not the players?? Yet you have a players name as your name on here.... how does that work??

Fucking hell.

He is a 21 year old kid. He deserves the chance to show what he can do under Frank.

You see a tiny fraction of what he is capable of. You dont see him in training, how he applies himself, anything.

Folks were writing off Bergvall at the start of last season, Sarr at the end of last season....
 
I absolutely wanted Frank from the beginning but I said they've got rid of Ange because he called them out on the bullshit, said our transfer window last summer was a "mistake" and said we need experience.

Soon as he said that he was outtie. They've got Frank in because this was the plan all along and because it's the first window Frank would just accept it without saying anything.

All these bogus bids, links, and people still lap they crap up. They fucking kept Lange after he brought shame to the club by crying after failing in negotiations for Tel (a player we didn't even need) resulting in Levy taking over looooooool...and you guys thought they legit wanted to improve us??? With Lange???


Hahahahaha.

What have they got to do with anything? At least they looked good in the PL at that age. This guy looks absolutely lost and I can't point to one thing he excels at.

- Max Aarons didn't look good..... He was pony in the EPL...... Once the champo hype faded it was over.
- Lampty was quick and that's about it.

Both young players with massive price-tags (esp. when you consider inflation!) despite doing fuck all, that at most were a flash in the pan; yet if the foot-stompers had their way we would have signed them

Just some perspective given the "Tel is the worst 40m of all time" narrative.
