Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I didn’t really look that hard. Was just enjoying city fans being annoyed

But those stats are 23/24 and Rodrygo was 💯 a star for Real that season. Him and Vinicius was their attack tbh.

Savinho essentially qualified Girona for the CL and dominated La Liga with his dribbling

Rodrygo is a much better and more well rounded footballer right now than Savio. This isn't a debate. City will be getting a significant upgrade and we will be getting a very talented dribbler who had one very fun season at Girona and then showed flashes at City.

It works for everyone .. he's better off the left which is where I assume we play him (we need a 10) and that's what we need because our left side is weak as piss.

People don’t know how good Savio is.

He had Girona in a title race. Pep uses his wingers differently so he wasn’t able to shine last season.

"Title race" they finished 14 points behind top mate.

La Liga is a bit arse. I'm fully convinced Doku would hit double figures for goals and assists there - someone really fast and direct with good dribbling can tear defences apart, so much of the league is unathletic and susceptible to good 1on1 players. Rashford is going to do work too.

Pep definitely uses his wingers differently but he was never going to translate what he did at Girona to the premier league straight away.

Pep doesn’t give a shit and/or doesn’t know what to do with wingers.

Or fullbacks, TBH.

Rodrygo would be miserable there.
 
Do find it quite funny how Elliott and McAtee are adjudged to be “young players with loads of potential” despite being OLDER than Savio.

Just the way English press and media are. Savinho tore up La Liga at age 19 in his first full season away from Brazil, that’s not normal whatsoever.
 
Exactly

I think Kudus plays 10 against teams we expect to dominate. Sarr in games we want to sit deep and transition.

Then Kulusevski comes back and plays 10 eventually.

Thing is, I don’t fully hate it because I rate Kudus as a Frank style 10 and I’d just prefer to buy Savinho than MacAtee or El Khannouss,

Don’t think we are doing Paz or Akliouche and tbh Savinho is further ahead than both of those as well,

Savinho maybe not the best fit but the best footballer available to us.

Savinho and a CB sounds the most likely. If they get Hincapie for that CB spot, it wouldn’t be a bad shout
Does Kudus even play as a 10 before? Honestly I wouldn't think Kulu can work as a 10 when he's back because we have tried to some extent before and he couldn't make it IMO. Sarr to me also was a failed experiment in pre season as a 10..

He knows what to do with them, Sane and Sterling were amazing there, he just prefers a different tactical approach currently where they aren't necessarily as productive. Frankly not sure we can use that as an excuse for Savio's issues in the first season - his xG was pretty high he just missed a LOT of chances - but for sure we can expect him to be better here where he'll be given a bit more freedom.

They fell off towards the end because Madrid went in a mad run but they were in the race.

For a team like Girona to be a few points off top at that stage of the season is unheard of.

He’s only 21, it would always take some time for him to adjust to the premier league. He showed a lot of promise. City fans are unhappy that he’s leaving.
