Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What Frank is bringing is a completely different look to us. Obviously MGW isn’t completed but will eventually but with him and Kudus we have got two players who will take it in tight spaces and beat a man and drive with the ball or find the bigger pass to really open the game up. Bergvall is also very good at this. This is a million miles away from what we’ve seen the last two years. We will stretch teams quicker just by the signing of these two players. Can’t wait to see how Frank has us playing by the start of the season. For me another centre forward to push Solanke is a must.
 
The two positions we have the most risk (depth wise) is LB and CF. The position we most need an upgrade (skill wise) is DCM. It would be great if Richarlison stays fit all season but that is incredibly difficult unlikely.

Turkish media is usually BS for transfer rumours but hopefully this one is right. Turkey or Saudi appears perfect for Biss, when on it he'd probably be best midfielder in league and when he's not on it (which happens way too often) he won't look as bad as he does in PL. Hopefully get a decent fee for him and thank him for Europa League and wish him well.

I was actually wondering if there is a comparison between the two from when they were both playing in the Championship? It might be just as irrelevant, as both were younger, but it would still show a closer comparison as both were in the same league at the same time.

Yeah, the Wissa link makes sense really, someone nippy who'll make repeated movements in the box and score a lot of headers/tap ins would be useful. BJ obviously gives you that but I couldn't imagine him offering you much with his back to goal

I know the game has changed a lot over the years, but didn't see it going in this direction.
Football morphing into Pornball.

Sell Bentancur & Biss.

Bring in someone similar to Vitinha or Joao Neves. I mean, they're 4ft9 and 5st between the two of them, but my oh my how they can win the ball back and ping it about at will...even score goals...that's Xavi/Iniesta/Pirlo/Modric level stuff.

Beautiful players to watch, must be an absolute nightmare to play against.

Okay. And who is this Vitinha-type-player we can go sign?

Love them both.

Have some reservations about them in the PL and specifically Spurs. We all saw clubs being allowed to kick Maddison out of games. Literally and often until his ankle gave up. This is a league that will give priority to Joelinton types and Ryan Yates types before a Vitinha or Neves.

If I was either players agent, I’d keep them well away from the PL. Unless maybe City or Liverpool who have the influence with the PGMOL to get some protection for them
