Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Personally I would rather the manager builds the squad. But we don’t operate like that sadly. Maybe that’s why we are not successful.

We tried that with Poch at the end, then Jose, then Conte. Means you are always lurching from rebuild to rebuild every time the coach gets sacked.

The last really good team we had, Poch was a good fit for the squad instead of him building it. Things started going south when he was trying to choose players and not getting what he wanted or getting them and they were crap.

Things went south with poch because he lost interest and the squad was stale and levy didn’t invest. Nothing to do with him signing the wrong players.

They started going wrong when we didn’t sign anyone

But we didn’t sign anyone because Poch was saying that “it’s difficult to improve on the level we have”… he was saying we needed elite players and Levy wasn’t willing to get them.

But when we did get him what he wanted it was guys like Tanguy and Lo Celso who both ended huge flops.
 
Of course Liverpool listened to klopp. What players he wanted he got, and that’s why they won everything .

Nope do your research. The players who they bought who gave them initial success were purchased by Michael Edwards, not Klopp.

Hence why Edwards fucked off 2 years ago because they had an internal conflict over recruitment and control and came back last year when he left.
 
Klopp had to convinced to buy salah that is correct. But jurgen klopp had complete control of player purchases. He had the final say on everything . That’s how you make a successful football team. And they certainly were successful
