The reports over the last day have been that Mbeumo still prefers Man United and we're looking at Semenyo.
June 10Jun 10 Anyone want to do a summary of who is coming/going/staying? How does Franks style match with our current roster?
June 10Jun 10 I'll have no ill will if he does leave. He stuck it out under a terrible owner and was always professional and got his trophy. I hope Frank will find a way to keep him

I hope Frank will find a way to keep him I would love for him to be kept, but the guy is 32 years old. And unlike others, he doesn't appear to have that extra bit in his game that makes him dangerous (see Kane and Salah for example). If they can sell him and get serious money for him, I think that's the right move for this season. I mean you absolutely cannot let him go on a free.
June 10Jun 10 Who's leaving or likely to leave: - Forster (end of contract) - Romero (likely to go to Athletico) - Dragusin (will probably be sold) - Reguilon (end of contract) - Bissouma (rumors he'll be sold with 1 year left on his contract) - Son (potentially sold to Saudi) - Werner (end of loan) - Tel (end of loan) - Richarlison (potentially moved due to injuries) - Solomon, Gil, Veliz (likely sold)
June 12Jun 12 Sounds like we got Frank as the Gaffer. Other part of the managerial change, is that it sounds like we're getting the Brentford Fitness coach too. After last year's injury issues, that might be as big a deal as getting Frank.
June 12Jun 12 Author I like the sound of this As much as you can point to the team not being built for so many games, they were very undisciplined. And that HOPEFULLY will change under Frank.

July 5Jul 5 From The Athletic: West Ham reject £50m Mohammed Kudus bid from Tottenham Spoiler West Ham United have received an offer from Tottenham Hotspur to sign Mohammed Kudus. The bid was worth £50million ($68m) and has been turned down but club-to-club talks continue. Kudus is prioritising Spurs if he leaves West Ham and personal terms for the 24-year-old Ghana international are not expected to be an issue. The Athletic reported in June that Kudus’ contract, which runs until 2028, has a buyout clause that is only active for the first 10 days of July, valued at £80m for European clubs, £85m for Premier League sides and £120m for Saudi Arabian teams. The forward has remained on Chelsea’s radar after they stalled on completing a deal to bring him to Stamford Bridge from Ajax in 2023, before West Ham sealed his signature. West Ham signed Kudus for a fee of €41.5million (£35.6m, $48.8m) plus €3m (£2.5m) in add-ons in August 2023, and he immediately became a key part of David Moyes’ side, recording 18 goals and 10 assists in 48 appearances during his first season. Utilised in multiple positions across West Ham’s frontline, Kudus had a less fruitful 2024-25 campaign, scoring five goals and assisting four in 35 appearances as his side finished 14th in the Premier League. Before joining West Ham, Kudus scored 27 goals in 87 appearances for Ajax, helping the club to consecutive Eredivisie titles in 2021 and 2022. Spurs have been keen to add a forward to their squad during the summer, despite being bolstered by the permanent addition of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich for €35m, plus €10m in potential bonuses following his loan spell at the club last season. The north London club hoped to persuade Bryan Mbeumo to join new head coach Thomas Frank in joining from Brentford, but the forward has informed Spurs he favours a move to Manchester United. Meanwhile, The Athletic reported Spurs made an enquiry over Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo, who has since signed a new contract on the south coast.
July 6Jul 6 I'd like to think Frank said."Ill come but this nickel and dime shit has to stop. Here are the players I want. Sign them"
July 8Jul 8 Author Spurs signed 20 year old defender Kota Takai from the Japanese League (team Kawasaki Frontale). https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6447636/2025/07/08/tottenham-complete-signing-of-japan-international-defender-kota-takai/ This is a move to bolster the back line.
July 8Jul 8 Gonna need more than that. Eze, Mbeuemo, and Kudus have all been discussed. Need one of those or a combination of those to come in. Highly unlikely, but we need more than we have.
July 8Jul 8 Author IMHO, it's a good start. I can't recall Spurs making these kind of moves this early in the window the last few summers.
July 9Jul 9 Author At least we are playing in the game. It might be 5-0, but I would rather play that game and lose than not play it at all.

July 11Jul 11 Author 21 hours ago, Schulz2.0 said: It's not clear what this really means, but Cartilage Free Captain is giving their views as to what it could be: Quote Until more information comes to light, it sounds as if it’s one of two possibilities — Forest didn’t give permission to Spurs to enter into negotiations for MGW’s transfer fee, or Forest are accusing Spurs of “tapping up” Gibbs-White over personal terms by negotiating with his people before they submitted a bid The first option would be patently ridiculous — bro has a release clause in his contract! By definition that would mean any club can meet that clause, pay the fee, and come to terms with MGW for a transfer! As for the second point, while I guess “tapping up” is technically still illegal in English football, literally every club does it now — you won’t have to search long in order to find numerous examples of “personal terms agreed” reports before a transfer fee is finalized. It’s literally extremely common business in today’s football market.
July 11Jul 11 Author Also it sounds like Atletico isn't coming for Cuti anymore. It sounds like know they can't get him.
July 12Jul 12 From reading last year's registration rules: Maximum 25 players, 2 of which are GKs, 8 of which are "locally trained" (slightly different from Premier League "homegrown" rules). Of the locally trained, up to 4 can be "association trained", meaning that they were at a different club within the same association. If you do not have 8, then that deficit gets subtracted from the 25 total roster spots Locally trained = on the clubs books for 3 seasons between the ages of 15 and 21 ( Brandon Austin is the only player that qualifies) Or On another club's books within the same association (in this case, England or Wales) for 3 entire seasons between the ages of 15-21 (Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Solanke, Ben Davies, Djed Spence, Archie Gray, Ashley Phillips, Gibbs-white) Any youth player born after 1/1/04 and has been with the club for at least 2 years since they turned 15 (or 3 years if they were loaned out for one year) can be registered with the squad without counting against the 25 roster count (i.e. Scarlett, Donley, Devine, Moore).
