Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The whole thing about us having positive talks with Paqueta's agent doesn't mean anything to me. The player being interested in leaving West Ham for us is not the obstacle. Doing a deal with West Ham is the obstacle. And they're not selling their 2 most gifted players to us in the same window when their fans are getting this irate. I was stunned they did it to us once.
 
[Fabrizio on YT] Man City told Tottenham that Savinho isn't for sale despite them offering more than €70m euros. Spurs had new contact today with Paqueta's agent, he's an option being considered. Spurs also remain interested in Xavni Simons but won't advance whilst Chelsea are still involved

The idea that our window is now hinging on beating Chelsea to the singing of Simon’s when all summer he’s twerked for them and all summer long Chelsea have been planning to sign both him and Garnacho and are now wrapping up Garnacho is so on brand for Levy it’s unreal.

You can guarantee that very soon it will be announced that Chelsea are in advanced talks for Simons and they’ll wrap up the signing before Monday.

That’s the difference between us and the other clubs. They get their business delivered, they rarely fail. Whereas we rarely succeed. We are just a bunch of bungling amateurs, Lange with all the gravitas of a piece of cardboard.

We’re fucked
 
Daniel Levy has managed to make this window more disastrous than I could have imagined. A total and utter failure
I think it could have been better, but certainly nowhere near an utter failure. Two experienced, talented players that solve problems we’ve had, straight into the first team. Three youngsters, two of whom we have very high hopes for and another that is rated, but an unknown.

Having some of the squad dreck still hanging around is not ideal and obviously more first team quality through the door would have benefitted us massively, but not a failure overall.

With savinho looking unlikely, and Simons again probably not coming to us.
It does make you wonder who are we going to be to get, looking like a missed opportunity at the moment.

Yeah we are totally fucked. What a fucking mess. We’ve literally been mugged off by all of our rivals this window. Never seen anything like it. We’re the little gimp waiting for scraps if the big boys can’t eat.

Delighted with Kudus and Palhinha, but it's nowhere near enough. There was a huge opportunity this summer to properly back Frank. He's failed to do it.

Sure, not enough to win the league, or anything else, come to that. But to improve on a dismal league season, it is. Makes us stronger than we were, so not a complete failure.

If this is a plan, I do get it. Big risk to spend hundreds of millions on backing a new manager, until you can see what he’s capable of over a run of at least a few months. I’m not suggesting it is a plan, by the way, it’s as likely that it isn’t and just been a fuckup instead.

And here you are re-posting it.

Come on lads (& lasses); finally learn your lesson this summer..........
 
We won’t sign anyone and then you’ll hear in a few weeks that Lange has been put on gardening leave. It’s too obvious.

This is really, really poor from you.

Failing to replace Maddison is catastrophic organizational malpractice and you perfectly well know it. Spare us your preening over a performance of seeming reasonable and above it all.

Think West Ham are kinda aware they need to cut out the cancer of all the players who don’t want to be there to have a chance though.
