Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

They’re good players particularly Cunha. Much better than anything we have in attacking areas.

They're having good seasons for their clubs but absolutely no one was talking about them in the last 2 seasons.

Bear in mind people are judging this squad, despite knowing that Ange is making them all look crap.

In an alternative universe we're getting pelters for getting CL football and targeting mid-table (at best) players
 
.............Would he though?

Not good enough for Chavs, so what use is he to us?
Well Chelsea have far better forward options than us, when he’s played he’s looked one of their better players. Sometimes managers don’t like certain players for whatever reason and they go onto show what they’re about elsewhere. You could see his talent for RB. Only issue might be fitness
 
When I look at our main squad.

Vicario, Kinsky, Porro, Spence, VDV, Romero, Dragusin, Danso, Udogie, Bentancur, Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall, Gray, Maddison, Kulusevski, Solanke, Odobert, Richy, Son, Moore, Tel.

Its mostly ok, I think Ange has massively underperformed with it in the league. What is lacking is Kane, Bale, Modric, Ginola, Gazza, that extra bit of quality that is so game changing. We'd be better buying 3 elite players (DM, Wide forward, striker) and making no other signings. we have a 6/10, 7/10 across the board squad but no players who can consistently elevate.

Eketeke, Mbuemo and a top DM and we'd be laughing. make no other signings even if we sell Romero, just put the house on quality. The issue is we'd rather sign 6-7 ok players than 2-3 elite ones.

I think you are crackers if you think that squad is ok. That main squad is three injuries - Romero, VDV, Maddison - away from being extremely weak/poor. Either meh/deeply flawed senior players or very inexperienced young players. That squad is full of players who wouldn’t look out of place in bottom half teams.
 
As I said looked decent before his first injury and a manager that meant his position was defunct. Stats comparing to Werner didn't offer anything so trying to get my head around the comparison.

There was no "before his injury" at Chavski.....

For what it’s worth - Chav at the office says Nkunku has no position in the EPL - not clinical/physical enuf to be a No 9, not fast enuf to play on the wing - decent as a classic no 10 with a free role but most teams don’t play a classic 10 - and he doesn’t defend/track back and is a bit lazy so not a great 8/10.

This season he did well against teams you’ve never heard of the Conference League but did little to nothing against better teams in Europe and in EPL matches.
