Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports



This was what destroyed the Marc Guehi transfer to Liverpool. Looks like somebody was doing some secret work in the background. Interesting. Who could have been doing that secret, behind-the-scenes work?

This is important to know and figure out so as to understand how the transfer market works. THFC grabbed Kudus from West Ham. Kudus is from Ghana, where he was born. And he retained his citizenship. Still plays for Ghana. Didn't sell out to a Western nation. Personally, I tend to respect that. Guehi is from Côte d’Ivoire, which is where he was born, but he plays for England. And this Igor Julio is Brazilian.

Football is and can be a very, very ethnic thing. As everyone knows.

I saw a rumour that Glasner interrupted the medical to tell him he wasn’t going to play much, and then Igor dipped off to West Ham who were in for him first. Then Glasner went and told Parish if they sold Guehi, he’d walk and he already only has 12 months left on his deal.

In the kitchen LOL

I guess Johan will think it balanced out and he made his own luck but can’t help thinking that Xavi and RKM would have been on the unavailable list because they were set for other clubs.

The fact that both became possible late in the window after we’d flopped it with other transfers, he’d have to admit there was some luck to that. Especially with Xavi being a better player than both 10’s we tried to sign first
 
We did beat Bayern to win the Audi Cup though, so those who cant find joy in the EL title because we only beat lesser teams can always seek comfort in that major trophy.
I agree , this fan base amazes me sometimes , we have enough to be miserable about over almost 40 years without finding no joy in our wonderful EL win . I don’t care how shit the final was , my son and I will always have Bilbao , memories that will last a lifetime for both of us .
 
I listened to a Spurs Show podcast some time ago when the guest was a Jewish Leeds fan who had written a book called (I think) "Does Your Rabbi Know You're Here".

He had asked himself just this question and concluded that the link came from the early 20th century. The biggest Jewish population at that time was in East London and to get to any other London club relatively near you would have to take a bus.

Apparently, this would breach the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday obviously) laws that prohibit the use of combustion engines. However, you could get to N17 on a tram which, being electric, was permissable.

Don't know if that's true but he'd done a load of research (into all sorts of things regarding British Jews and football) so I guess the theory is worthy of consideration.
I always thought it was as much to do with the ownership as the fans, turns out I was wrong. After a quick check, it seems that our Jewish ownership started with Scholar. Before him it was the Wale family, who owned the club for around 50 years. Since then, every owner has been Jewish, Scholar, Sugar and now Lewis/Levy.
