Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No striker playing in Portugal can be called "the best striker in Europe". It is a pub league through and through and a totally different intensity to the Premier League.

If he moves to the Prem, he is likely going to struggle. He'll have a fraction of the time and space to work with and infinitely more pressure both physically and mentally to deal with.

Any club who spends the £60m+ required to sign him will regret it.
I said arguably, and I think considering his numbers over the past 2 seasons (which includes Champions League) he has to be in the discussion.

The Portuguese league hasn’t seen a striker like him since Falcao, and many would have put him in the discussion of one of the best in Europe at Porto.

Also I would argue about teams regretting paying 60 million for him.
We paid 65 mil for Dominic Solanke who score 9 PL goals, if you think Gyokores wouldn’t match them numbers you’re kidding yourself.
 
Exactly why I want us to sign an exp DM...

Wharton isn't an exp DM and he's gonna cost a lot of money and still requires nurturing as he's not the finished article, pointless.
Wharton is an exceptionally good DM.

Our Bozo board didn't want to part with the 20m Blackburn wanted when it was clear he was an exceptional talent. They were probably annoyed at their inability to act of the initial interest and decided to overspend on Gray so it didn't happen again. Sadly for them and us Gray is not and will never be the player Wharton has become.
 
If true, €200,000 a week is still a lot for an unproven EPL player...

We get into these situations constantly where we're sniffing around talent that won't sign new deals at their club and leverage is building to acquire them for a lower transfer fee than they're worth :levywhoa:



But then PRECISELY BECAUSE their acquisition cost is going downward, that value is moving instead to bidding up the player's wages beyond what we're willing to pay :levywtf:


This is a transfer market tactic that has past its expiration date, we're wasting our time searching for deals this way.

Yeah, we've seen that script play out too many times.
 
I also remember when people told us that Rashford, Welbeck, Giroud, Jesus, [insert half a dozen more names] were better or more complete forwards than Kane.

I remember the closet goooner here insisting thst Jesus & Zinchenko were the special sauce that would win AFC the league......

The same div properly gassed up Utds last summer haul of Ugarte, Zirkze & DeLigt as a difference maker.
 
200k a week for him

It's all personal opinion but I thought they were all very good players before they went there.

Sancho and Onana in the champions league the years previous were excellent. Deligt good enough for Bayern and Juve to see something, Zirkzee obviously a bit slow but technically excellent. Hojlund pacey strong and clinical.

DeLigt has been been tossed around like a used hanky since he left Ajax.
 
Oh well :cool:

Tottenham are monitoring Rodrygo’s situation at Real Madrid​

According to Spanish outlet Cadena Ser, Spurs have now registered their interest in Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.

Rodrygo is unhappy at Real Madrid right now owing to frustrations with his game time — a player who is no longer an undisputed starter.
