Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Clampy]

I haven’t watched a kick either, can’t really see the interest. Football needs to actually stop sometimes.

As for our transfer activity, the squad clearly needs improvement but there’s plenty of time and clearly we need to tread reasonably carefully.

That's where I am with the football. I've not watched any of it,  I do like a bit of a break from it.

As for the transfer window, it is quiet but im sure they're workimg on things amd besides, it doesn't actually close until the 1st September.

We'll finish above Chelsea and Spurs next season

When does 'plenty of time left' change to 'Shit, all those we see as rivals are strengthening their squads while all we have managed is a teenager on a free that most people have never heard of'?

I don’t know, but it’s not yet.

Kudus is bang average isn’t he?

No, he has huge potential. Better bet than Elanga at that price.

Not with the current squad we won’t. Pre Jan transfer dealings we were stuck in mid table. At best without new players this team is 7th-9th. Emery’s magic will only take us so far.

Bit early to start panicking, however given the constraints we are under I think this will be a challenging window. Missing out on ECL was a huge blow. We will have to cut our cloth accordingly now .

Well no, but do we really think we’ll have the same squad? Highly doubtful.

Kudos under the right manager could be very good, he’s got bags of talent, but he also can look terrible and goes missing and a liability.

Who is their manager?

To be honest I have got a clue? I’ve forgotten! Who is it again?

Thomas the Frank Engine

Oh yeah, of course. I do wonder how he will get on. I can see him not getting a long run at this if he starts slow.

I think by signing him, Spurs are hoping that people will show them a bit more respect.

Ha! Glad he didn’t sign for us.

[VillaTim]

Yep . We will lose at least one major squad player to appease the accountants.

No, he has huge potential. Better bet than Elanga at that price.

At least a three or four out of ten then.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I think Elanga is far more consistent than Kudus. Kudus seems like a typical Tottenham signing, all fart and no pop.

[Gareth]

Elanga had a very good season using his pace in a counter attacking team that opponents under estimated for 2/3rds of the season…he didn’t pull up any trees at Man Utd…we’ll see how he goes at Newcastle who are a side no one under estimates and his space will be much more limited.

Kudus started well at West Ham and faded

Personally id take Bowen over either
