Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Savinho had 1G/10A last season for City in 200 more minutes than Doku (3G/6A), and is two years younger.

Edit: Also, Doku has never played >1600 minutes in ANY league season, whereas Savinho played 3000 minutes for Girona in 2023/24.

Couldn't care less about g/a with them, neither were productive in the league. You're signing either of them based on their ability to dribble, create space for others/create general havoc .. which Doku is better at, in fact he's the best by far in the league at it.

G/A is for the Brennans - who will love Savio dribbling past 3-4 players and bending it one in so he can tap in from 2 yards and have a better g/a record.
 
Doku was €60M and has 3G/6A + 3G/10A in two seasons at City.

But some around here shit on Brennan Johnson (same age, €55M, 11G/5A + 5G/11A in two seasons at Spurs) any chance they get.

Absolutely insane the way people go out of their way to drag Johnson's name through the mud. For no reason. On a team that already lost a lot of goals.

I understand how extremely limited he is as a player, but I don't get what constantly slagging him off does. Strange behavior
 
If we get savinho and being bold id offer 60m plus johnson to forest to get MGW. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

1G/10A in <1800 minutes (a touch more than 1/2 of available minutes) for a 21 year-old in his first PL season IS productive though.
 
So do we reckon Savinho is the end boss battle of this window ?

The last player that we pretend to sign , do we look to drag this one out to deadline and fail to sign him in a blaze of "we tried" glory or does Mr Daniel Phillip Levy have another rabbit up his sleeve , and do we go and pretend to sign another player in addition to Savinho ?

Exciting times await either way
 
100%

Savinho offers far more than dribbling of Doku. Savinho dribbles, carries well. His crosses are a perfection.

Left footed left winger play is a oddity nowadays - hard to get a player of that profile.

Except in less minutes their expected assists was different by like 2, and Doku scored more goals, and many more goals in all competitions.

No way he doesn't come in handy this season..... Esp. If we can up the creativity and unsettle defences better than we did last year.
