Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We've known all summer that Solanke and Richarlison aren't good enough up top.

Do we just persist with them in hope so that we don't have to admit that we blew £125mill on utter mediocrity.


Richarlison is like Lamela.
I think there is a player in Richi, he biggest concern is staying fit.

I think we should have sold him, never wanted Solanke. But he is here now, and with a new LW/10 depending on where you play Simons, both Richie and Solanke will get more service.

Which has been dire over the last two seasons.

Think we should have given the youngsters a shot, and Veliz.
 
Bring Lankshear back. Or Scarlett at a push.
Yes throw them in at deep end like we did with Kane. Absolute negligent forward planning on sending all our academy players on loan. They would have got plenty of minutes with number of games and injuries we pick up. For me I see no diff with having Richi or Tel play CF to having a young academy prospect like lankshear. F it goons throw on a 15 yr old v dippers. Villa bring on a 17 yr old at FB. Only spurs and some of our fans shit on our own players all the time big up mediocre young players we sign for huge fees but have shown nothing. They all come on here say ‘he has potential’ or the usual BS of ‘there is a player in there’. Based on f all!

lol there us a player in there BS again. How old is he and how many years has he now been at spurs. 4 th season if I’m not wrong. He is a not a kid. Ffs if there was a player in there would we not have seen it by now. Anyways you just have to watch him play he cannot do the basic things half the time. He may have a few games especially when we sit back where he puts himself about. However when we have take the game to oppo he fails invariably. Backs to the wall games where his running around looks effective.
 
Solanke injured?

I just can’t with this club. It’s nonsense.

Club probably knew about solanke for awhile tbh. Frank saying Richie was his starting number 9, his sporadic appearances in pre season , not starting either games he was "fit" for.
Suppose they thought it could be managed.

So the two previous good games he had, and the wonder goal.

Injuries has been his main problem. Service has been another.

And didn't I say, I would have sold him?
