Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I get that you don’t see Savinho as that player but the point I’m making is that if they do, then I’m happy to see the conviction to get it done.
Well, but guys like Van Dijk and Alisson were very obvious #1 needs in those windows that they took care of with obvious solutions immediately.

Savinho is a sudden surprising opportunity that looked like a swindle.

Well, it isn't going to be a swindle. We can get tunnel vision or we can adjust.

I'm not going to sit here and bitch about us spending big for a talent exciting player if he comes. We paid too much for Kudus too, but you can't not enjoy watching the guy play.

But we really need to maximize every pound if we want to get anywhere in the aggregate.

Palmer is less than two years older than Savinho and has fewer career senior appearances

Savinho is an obvious need

As is Eze.
 
It was never going to be cheap!

Savinho is man city's second most valuable winger, and sits behind foden as there most valuable bearing in mind that foden is not really even a winger and secondly foden is 25!

Man city has an embarrassment of ritches and we are taking a big asset, its going to be expensive!
 
Savinho: 1 goal, 8 assists in a city team
Mbeumo: 20 goals, 7 assists
Gyokores: 39 goals, 7 assists

Sesko...you've got me there I'm actually sceptical as to his ceiling

Eze speaks for himself

I hope you're right and savinho develops into a top tier talent.

I'm not saying I don't want him I just think I'd rather see us pay top money for someone like Eze, MGW, Baleba or Wharton who I see as less of a "hit and hope"
He got the most assists of any City player, despite not being played in his best position often, only playing just under 1800 mins, only being 20 and his 1st season in the PL.
 
You must not watch a lot of football.

Mbuemo, Gyokeres, Sesko - you all think were great value? Why?

Savinho has way more potential than most on that list.

People banging on about his 1 goal but he went very close many times and was unlucky not have more. Watch his highlight reel.

Also Pep’s wingers are not there to score goals. He got a bucket load of assists, as Pep sets wingers up to do.

Then look at his Girona spell - outstanding stats in a mediocre side.

8 whole assists, 6 expected. BUCKETS. I dunno why people feel the need to go in to overdrive mode as a sales pitch on our targets/players. He's really talented but he was super hit and miss last season. He got some assists (he had fucking Haaland to cross to in the box!) but lost the ball a load, got bullied physically a load, and had the worst conversion rate in the entire league.

This is why City are ready to sell, but because he is still very talented and very good at dribbling and still had a great season at Girona (where less physically gritty wingers thrive, see antony), they obviously aren't doing it for cheap. He's good but not a guarantee. You talk of him having "way more potential" than that list but that's all it is, potential.

But we're only doing this in the first place because it seemed that City was happy to be rid of him.

We would never otherwise think we could buy a starter in good standing for City.

A player who by the way in his one season there saw them drop 20 points from the season before, to their lowest total and BY FAR their lowest goal output under Pep.

A team with Doku and Savinho on the two flanks can't score enough to win the title, and now they're mugging us off to try and solve the problem for them. This deal sucks.
 
They will both go in the 55-65m range and that is about right.

Not sure why people are running with the overpriced narrative. Have you not been watching football transfers over the last 10 years?

Once again for those asleep at the back: we paid 60 for Richy, 65 for Solanke and 50 for BJ.

Eze and Savinho are a different class to that bunch yet will transact at a similar price. The numbers are reasonable. Get it done baldy.
