Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’d be overjoyed to see him go this summer as a legend, than see it all end in tears tbh.

If he truly feels his time is up, it’s better to go a year early than a year late.

I think he's going to leave. Frank has barely mentioned him during the pressers. Especially when talking about the captain this season.

If Son was definitely staying, there wouldn't be any question on who the captain is.
 
I wouldn't be that surprised if there was a backroom arrangement with Forest and MGW that the transfer will go through quietly at a later date. Gives Forest time to spend the money without people thinking that they're flush and gives the owner the chance to claim he tried everything after publicly throwing his toys out of the pram.

Would explain how all parties have been so quiet in the last week.
 
Maybe there’s a cultural difference but I did not tell colleagues or even family at 6 weeks. Most people here would wait to the first trimester to announce to the world.

That would make them 8 months roughly.
My Wife knew she was pregnant after about 2 weeks, then had it confirmed a week later when she went to the doctor and told everyone as soon as that happened.

It varies according to the Wife. Some know very quickly, some a lot later.

Judging by the picture Shady put up, I'd say she's more mid term than late term.

I know there are differences between France and the U.K. in when pregnancies are even counted (estimated date of conception v date of last period).

I did not know that British people commonly told the world about pregnancies in 4-6 weeks. I guess french people are more risk averse. The chance of a miscarriage is still over 10% at six weeks. That is far too early to be publicising a pregnancy to the whole damn world, especially as a celebrity. Crazy to me.
 
I think it highly unlikely he'd not want to do a farewell tour in SK of all places.... Might not have the opportunity of this kind again... Especially getting to wave his new legit medal about in the process.


If he's really that eager to duck out then he'd have just pulled a sicky against Reading in the meantime.

He definitely isn't that sort of person, too nice for that.
 
20 years @ $5M = $179M

10 years @ $0M + 10 years @ $15M = $213M

Locking yourself into an extremely long contract is, also, expensive.



What was proposed wasn't a 10 year deal, I would expect that in a naming rights deal. The hypothetical proposed was 20 years, which is what I said was not a smart choice.

Taking half the contract length for the change of a 16% increase is not what I believe would be called a 'worthwhile risk'
(especially in your scenario where you blindly assume someone will pay 50% more after 10 years)

I may be wrong, I've estimated her term based on my own experience really, and I think the picture backs that up. We were so over the moon with both that we couldn't wait to let everyone know.

Time will tell though, I just hope they're both fit and well when the Babe is born.

Some people show a lot, others much less! Hard to know from a picture.

Totally agree though. I hope both she and the baby are well!
 
i'm really ready for this transfer to be over
