Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It is beyond parody for fans to be singing Utd’s praises.

Many fans just want to win the transfer window. They care about how the transfer window makes them feel more than what happens on a Saturday afternoon.
Fans want signings to improve the team that came 17th last season, it’s really that simple.

It’s not “beyond parody” to question why we’re not showing the same ambition to improve as our rivals. And anyone comparing hoijland to sesko has never watched sesko play and is clearly arguing from a disingenuous position, because as you will see this season they are worlds apart ability wise.
 
Not my number 1 preference plus hes not even a 10 but right now id rip ur arm off and be happy with that.
Maybe the lack of 10's around is turning our attention to the wings for creativity which id be happy about tbh
You either need a good 10 to find the right passes to them in dangerous areas, or you need the wingers to be absolute magicians that can create something from nothing on a regular basis though.

Because at present they're just going to be receiving sideways passes from our cms, who combined wouldn't have the imagination to pitch a new Marvel movie...
 
If we’re working alot on set pieces and trying to get a big side together I suppose Grealish would help us with the free kicks he wins and he does keep the ball in the final third under pressure. He won’t just fritter it away like Tel and Johnson

I wouldn’t love the Grealish we saw at City but I’m intrigued by what Grealish in a Frank system would be like.

Utd have been a joke in the market for years, pound for pound a fair bit worse than us but they keep trying. They dont act like they've been scarred forever because of a shit summer window in 2019 unlike someone i could mention. I think they've overpaid for all 3 but thats the market. We spent £125m on Solanke and Richarlison. We spent £55m on Kudus who has had one good and one shit season in the prem. All prices are insane, there arent really any bargains anymore. All i can say is if we'd have signed Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko people would be beside themselves, predicting top 3 and heaping praise on Levy and Lange.
