Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Lange & co gotta pull their finger out. Maybe grow some balls too and 1/ be brutally honest with the deadwood 2/ dare tell their Daddy Danny that his valuations are ridiculous.

Take 60mil for Romero and say thank you.

Drag, Biss, Richy and Bryan Gil mustn't be in this coming season's squad. That's just gross negligence.

Bentancur and yeah even Kulu & Sarr don't (really) deserve another season.

Kinsky looks like the wrong buy.

Somebody offers us a decent amount for Odobert, I'm definitely listening. Unfortunately it's another year til we can cut his wee French pal.

Will always love him dearly but time for Sonny to find another challenge. Similar sentiment re Gentle Ben.
Getting rid of 13 (🤣) players would dramatically lower the wage:revenue ratio though, so why would we do that?

Also, ridiculous amount of outs - no one is ever going to do that.

Its real life and not FM.
 
Paulinha & Wharton are not the same kind of player.......

It makes no sense to use one as a stop-gap for the other.
It might be for Gray?

I'm not exactly overjoyed at the news, but I can see some logic in it. Naybet was instrumental in the development of King. Maybe Paulina could be the same for Gray? We know Gray has an awful lot of ability and, IMO, will be a better deep lying playmaker than Wharton. He just needs maybe some pointers in the defensive side of the game, and a player like Paulina could possibly be the right type of player for him to understudy and add that "bit of a cunt" element to his game.
 
If we are going for a tough beast like 6 who intercepts and tackles well and shields the back 4 then we should go for Hjulmund, We won’t go for him due to price, however. Sporting reportedly want 80 mil euro.
This is the problem. The really good 6s cost big money. So we will go the cut price option because we are cheapskate FC

Spending €80m on a DM for from the Superliga doesn't represent good VFM.

People were talking about spending that much on Wharton which was mad enough but spending that on Hjulmund is laughable.
 
We need a new left winger. I think we can see with Kudus what a difference that makes even if it's just preseason.

We lacked a progressive passer in the midfield pivot. Cuti ended up doing most of that first half, but I do think Gray can be that player for us. A stopgap might not be the worst option in the short term.

I'm still not sure about Vicario and Kinsky's distribution and composure on the ball.

It’s why I think I rather we spend £90m on Wharton than £50m each on two lesser players. I think we badly need a 6 baller type player. As for the left wing I think Odobert and Tel will need to stake a claim, if they can’t then I question why are they here.
 
Because maybe we want some experience in there to manage games alongside the youngsters we have. Or maybe we just can’t get the Wharton or Baleba we want this summer at a realistic price.

Sorry mate but I'm not buying that theres no other player available on the scale of experience.

None of the other teams trying to win the PL would be signing a 30 year old DM as their main man in a key position down the spine of the team.

And who cares about a reasonable price? Gooners needed a CM in the spine of their team so dropped 90m on Rice.
