Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Could be a positive sign, if you believe that there is any truth to earlier reports that we would only move if we were confident that Chelsea weren't going to hijack.
Live scenes of the chavs not hijacking:

I’m wondering if we are trying to move aggressively so that we don’t give Chelsea time to make a bid because they need to focus on outs first so maybe they aren’t in a position to make a bid yet.

Just a guess.

Of course could be totally wrong and they are able to make a rival bid today too.

In any case I’m not getting excited unless I see it’s officially announced. Because as far as I am concerned he’s going Chelsea and this could be hijacked at any stage even at medical.

It's not happening don't do it to yourself.
 
Are you coping right now in case of the potential Chelsea hijack or do you actually think this is actually the wrong move by the club?
It’s not a “potential Chelsea hijack” nor am I coping. That’s because there’s no real surprise or intrigue. The Simons transfer is blatantly nailed on.

Chelsea have had this lined up and agreed all summer. It’s all the reporting has been. He’s fully agreed to them. When the “he only wanted Chelsea” here we go tweet hits you will understand.

We are wasting valuable time on yet another unrealistic target and will end up with no one. It’s the stupidest fucking strategy I’ve ever seen.
