May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

Spurs are doing EXACTLY what we should have done after winning the Europa Conference, buying players to take them onto the next level under a manager who knows what he is doing.

They're after Evan Ferguson as well. Good to know there's at least one other shambles club in the world

Hopefully the spineless prick throws his toys out early if left on the bench, or even worse, asked to do a job at left wing instead.

Kudus is miles ahead of those 2 players. I'm still surprised a bigger club didn't come in for him.

Suddenly.... we are still the only premier league team to not have signed a player (the youth team player from the pub league doesn't count)

Only big difference there is they have enough European (Champions League) games to go around to keep them all happy. Kudus was actually on fire when we had European football and happy to put up with being played wherever. Last season all we had was Premier League..

Lets now see if we are going to spend any of this cash and sign anyone or are going to be spun some BS cock n bull about being skint and this money was to "save" us from FFP breaches or other such nonsense.

Well, it was funny yesterday, as my mate said "At least we now have another £55m to spend on players". Then it came out that we owe Barclays Bank £40m for a short term loan taken out two season ago. So I replied "It looks like we only have £15m" and then it came out that Levy is paying us over three year instalments. So I replied "Make that fuck all to spend on players".

You're also forgetting the cut Ajax are due from the Kudus deal as well. The whole charade is a fugazi.

Posted: **10 Jul 2025, 14:50**

Cresswell looks he's going to Stoke instead of us. Aaron, that is.

I hope you didn't think we'd be getting Charlie.

Posted: **10 Jul 2025, 14:37**

Kudus only strength is dribbling ,his shooting is no better than benrahma really similar record yet benny passed more and did it over 2 seasons plus was a team player, his crossing is crap , he's pretty slow , weren't that impressed in his first season. Let's be fair he is emperors news clothes and affective about 4 games a season similar to benny again . 55m ain't that bad , we really should be struggling to get our money back, motd player at best . Bye bye ,now buy some quick hungry players like bowen not this crap anymore .

Henderson
Callum Wilson

Great business mate. 'Proven internationals with long premier league careers.' (Past it players with huge wage demands and fuck all resale value'- right up Sullivan's street. The only sort of move that could compound the misery of our current state)

Posted: **10 Jul 2025, 14:05**

We'll probably snap up Jordan Henderson as he's just left Ajax

We had to sell Kudus anyway. With the way Potter sets up there was no point keeping him unless Bowen had a long term injury. He would have just continued being played out of position, playing poorly, acting stroppy and decreasing even further in value by next summer.

The only problem with the sale was Sullivan telling the world how desperate we were to do it and selling him to our biggest rival.

Only good thing I'd say about Duxbury - even when we were actually in the shit financially he always made out that we were okay, so he didn't sell players on the cheap. He refused to sell Bellamy to Spurs as well and ended up getting a lot more money for him.

True but at least you know the idea when buying him was to get a couple of good seasons out of him and then shift him on for mega money where we could have some control over his destination and transfer fee. That was the plan. And then to have Guilherme waiting in the wings to fill that space while the money can be spent to strengthen 2-3 positions. Finally a good sustainable strategy.

As you say Sullivan totally fucked that up. From a number of angles and the geezer leaves for a tiny profit after Sullivan publicly drops his trousers and exposes him self to the world and his arse to Levy in total humiliation, all of which goes on paying off a debt rather than investing in the squad.

That's an unexpected bonus if we can get a decent fee for him. He's not the biggest problem for the club at CB- Kilman is by a distance given his cost and contract rather than flat out ability- but if we can get an upgrade and more importantly some pace with a young cost effective player there, then it's a positive move.

All transfers are negotiable buy out clause or not
The buy out clause meant that if someone stumped up all of the £85m in the first 10 days of July & the player wanted to go we would have to allow it
Quite common to clubs to try & negotiate a transfer at a lower figure or with extended payment terms but obviously the club owning the player can refuse
Eze has a £68m buyout and am guessing that’s what Arsenal are doing. Trying to agree a lesser figure and/or paying over a number of years

Don't forget we just got £12.2million from Boyle Sports.

Our wage bill has been significantly cut with the players who have left, just Ings, Antonio, Fabianski, Cresswell, Coufal, Zouma you're looking at a £20million per year saving.

Even with this 'sell to buy' system, we didn't need to accept low offers to finance deals to suit PSR or pay back the £40million loan. Put every player up for sale and only accept the right amount for each, already having sounded out the cost and likelihood of agreement for each of their replacements.

We know that's not what's happening but it wouldn't have been difficult to have started this month's ago.
