Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Showing up to Portugal is just tragic. Such a waist of 2 weeks and he's not helping
A waist? Don't mention waists when the FGB's around.

Cannot believe the consternation towards Palhinha. He’s not perfect but the things he’s good at, he’s REALLY good at, and Frank knows exactly how to get the best from a player like him.

He’s a floor raiser and someone who will keep us in big matches. He’s a time and space eater. He is a fucking cunt in the best way. He will keep us attached and keep us from getting overrun in big CL matches or vs the likes of Slot’s Liverpool who absolutely demolished us and scored 4 5 6 goals under Ange.

You need experienced fighters to compete in CL and at 30 he’s still got a lot left to give. He’d singlehandedly keep Fulham in big matches two years ago, that didn’t desert him. I don’t want a long term deal but I’m sure we can work something cheap out.

Ask these three questions: does he give our squad a profile that it is lacking? Yes. Can he start and help us vs elite competition? Yes. Can he be gotten without breaking the bank? Yes.

It’s a yes from me. It should be a yes universally.

Double pivot with either Maddison or MGW might be a nice balance.
 
Palinha is a very good player and there were many on here complaining that we were not in for him last year. A year on and (many of) the same people are saying he is a stop gap, shit, not what we need.

I swear NOTHING will make people happy.

Let the transfer window play out and by all means voice your complaints when it is over

And FFS sakes it’s MGW not MGS!
