Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports



It's worse than paranoid.
Some of the people on here have literally shit the bed.
I'm getting visions of Spud in Trainspotting.



Or just scout properly rather than being in a position of panic and opportunistic deals because we are so badly run recruitment wise behind the scenes?
You can scout all you like, but you need a sample in the same league to ever really understand whether the player can perform.
We thought we had scouted the likes of Lamela and Gil but they were crap to average at PL level.
 
He was probably worth €60-70m after his Girona year though.

City paid a fake price from a club they own
He was on loan at Girona from Troyes, which I didn't initially realize is ALSO a City Football Group club.

So yeah, that transfer fee was a totally fake price. City ACTUALLY bought Savinho for 6M from Atletico Mineiro in Brazil back when he was 18.

Good scouts, that lot. They stand to make a fortune in any flavor of this deal.
 
Ahh..
The old " But who's gonna come and keep the bench warm for Harry Kane" phenomenon has now moved to the centre half position, I see.

Never change, Fighting Cock ☺️
Not sure why you’re dismissing and mocking the opinion that players won’t join clubs without a pathway to starts. It’s literally why Eze would consider us over Woolwich. Also, it’s why players seek guarantees from managers about minutes before joining clubs. It’s absolutely a legitimate opinion and consideration.

With Romero & VDV it will be difficult for any CB to get a starting place and therefore we will only get someone who is prepared to play second fiddle until Romero leaves.
Not that we need centre backs anyway. We’ve got a perfect blend of 5 or 6 centre back options.

should try and push bissouma to west ham in exchange for paqueta really, need a midfielder with technical quality.
Can’t see West Ham selling us their 2 best players not named Bowen in 1 window. Not unless the owners want a full blown fan mutiny.
 
Scares me how quickly people think multi million pound deals take.

When people say ‘this deal was done quickly’ it wasn’t done any quicker than any other deal, it just got leaked later in the process than other similar deals.

You don’t send a bloke a figure and he says ‘yeah, go on then’ - the terms and conditions will be sent to internal lawyers and then they’ll clarify points and do a bit of back and forth and then a response will be given.

What I’m trying to say here is chill out. Clearly both these stories were leaked at very early stages of both deals. A long way to go yet on either.

Isn't it ironic.....that Matt geezer is one of the biggest melts I've seen on this forum. Unbelievable amount of negativity and moaning for a number of years
 
Give Palace 50 for Guehi and 60 for Eze....that's 110mil, with a decent chunk paid upfront. Tell them they'll get another 10 if we qualify for the CL next season...20 if we also win the FA Cup.

Could also let them have Solomon or Bryan Gil for nothing. Maybe even Vuskovic and Odobert on loan. Glasner would get something out of them players.

Offer Guehi 150k pw, while Eze gets 200. Both get a 10% payrise next summer depending on results, on top of a straight cash bonus. Let them know they'll get plenty gametime with us involved in 4 competitions and Cuti, Micky & co being injury-prone.

Two English players. Two quality, reliable ones. I'd friggin love it and though I'd still be peed off about not addressing the goalie/LB/CF situation (plus getting Palhinha & Tel), I'd find it a bit easier to swallow that pill.

Iirc Guehi is not interested in joining us no matter what we offer
