Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

France have won more world cups and european championships than us. Weve caught up if not overtaken them though in producing better younger players coming through. Likely down to more continental play now in premier league. I just dont like the idea of the word palace when its not. Not really a countdown fan but palace in the dictionary means splendid building. Selhurst park isnt.
Not sure you’ve overtaken us but you’ve made great strides forward.

They key is not to produce 20 bottom half of PL / championship players. The key is to produce a few elite players.

If we look U23, England has Saka and Bellingham as elite.

France has Olise, Doué, Barcola, Camavinga

At the level below of maybes is Gittens, Mainoo, Nwaneri, Wharton, Delap…
Just as there is Zaïre Emery, Yoro, Akliouche, Cherki, Tel, Ekitiké

The gap for thé maybes is much smaller than the gap for elite level players. England has really made great strides.

France are one of favourites for next world cup imo. But as its in america normally a south american team does well.

This is the best attacking talent I have ever seen from France. We usually win the WC with ok forwards.

Mbappé and Dembelé are two of the very best in the world. Barcola, Olise, Doué is already amazing.

If Ekitiké, Cherki and Akliouche continue to make the progress they have this past year or two then it could be a filthy front 4, whoever plays.

Obviously hope Tel and Odobert kick on but that might be for next euros.

Real Madrid midfielders holding (Tchouameni and Cama) and we’re strong enough in defence and goal to beat anyone. I want Argentina. And then Spain.
