Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

You are pathetic, mate. Try harder to make a point of value.

The irony from a poster who only appears at the difficult times should not be lost on thise who are frequent contributors.
Truth hurts does it Phil?

Always quick to dish it out but never prepared to take some back, pal.

You admitted you're most overriding concern is that a shite transfer window will lead to criticism of the owners. That's what you said, mate.

And THAT is what's really pathetic.

You said it. Now grow a pair and fucking own it
 
How many days away are we from an Alasdair Gold article mentioning how Bryan Gil has really been impressing everyone in the no.10 role in training ?
I'd sooner see Gil there than my actual expectations for what will happen.

This isn't a praise of Bryan Gil, it's an indictment of our other options. He's lightweight, injury prone, and has never shown anything tangible in terms of goals and assists.

But he is at least bright and positive in his intent, think he'd have more chance of making it in this country at 10 than out wide.

Instead I expect we'll see one of our many generic neither really one thing or another much of a muchness cms tasked with picking the locks until Maddison can be rushed back out onto the pitch.

We really do not have anyone in the squad to create for out strikers, you can point to the wide players as having the capability to do that, but I really don't see anything in our squad that gives me faith we will even be able to put them into dangerous situations.

Only way to keep you off here is by being successful. Tut tit.... oh sorry tut tut.
 
kudus improves the first 11, palhinha improves the first 11, if we can get one more that improves the first 11, either a 10 or a LW then thats a good window, if we can get a 10 and a LW that both improve the first 11 then thats an amazing window.

No maddison weakens first 11
Son gone weakens first 11

Tougher games being in cl. We're well undercooked right now and there's no signs that we're after anybody of decent calibre.
 
I don't think it's as common or easy as you think to get players to go there.
This is a (admittedly 2 year old) list of players to go there.
Which players have joined the Saudi Pro League exodus so far?
Ronaldo - old, craves goals as much as money
Benzema - old
Henderson - old
Mahrez - won everything, was ageing when he went
Kante - old broken
Koulibaly - shite
Neves - outlier
Mendy - shite
Brozovic - elite career over
Firmino - as above
Jota - SPL level player
Milinkovic Savic - Not gonna pretend I know much about the player or circumstance

There isn't a player there that is a genuine, current, prime age, superstar.
They're mostly elite level rejects or those who's best days are well, well behind them. And Jota. Weird one.



Bayern seem to be ok

For now!
 
I agree we should be doing more. Just think if they've got 200 million to spend I don't think that's how I'd spend it in relation to that squad and I feel like they're going to have to get rid of some good players to solve the issues they still have. Nobody is spending any money on Hojlund, Onana or Antony, Garnacho will go for 60% of what he's worth because he's openly had a run in with the manager, Rashford will be loaned out until the end of his contract.

Yeah agreed

They need legs in MF even more than strikers
