Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Eze and another quality attacker and we're definitely in the mix for top 4. Eze and Akliouche or Savinho and I think we might even be able to compete for more than that. Frank is going to make us extremely difficult to beat at the back, and we've always had excellent talent to mold a stubborn defense with- just no capable leader to drill our players in it and make use of it.
I don't think TF will chuck any comp away , but I think he will prioritize the PL , looking to get back into the CL .
Defence was always the thing that had to be first priority , we have always scored goals , limit the goals against and we will be well on our way .
 
Nope.

Not what the likes of Fabrizo are saying

Pep not interested in selling Saviola until he gets Rodrygo - and Madid not selling Rodrygo.

Think I'd trust the professionals rather than people making it up as they go

Madrid do not wish to sell Rodrygo.

So yes you are dreaming. Time to wake up

This can't be true, come on

Rodrygo has played 27mins in 12 games under alonso!
Are u saying Madrid don't want to sell him but instead want him sat on the bench the entire season averaging less than 3mins per game? Lol

We most probably won't be getting rodrygo but surely somethings got to give somewhere?

Madrid brought on a teenager who had only trained with the team for 4 days instead of rodrygo.
But Madrid don't want to sell him u say?
 
What Brazilian would pass up the opportunity to play with R9.

Get Richy on the blower and convince Rodrygo to win the Champions League in Lilywhite.
 
Stop being cheap City. Just give Real whatever they want
This is how I see it

City will sell us Silversurfer for £60m, if they can sign Rodrygo. Who himself isn't keen to leave Madrid.
If they can't get Rodrygo, they'll only accept an insane offer to sell Summertiminho.
We are now watching to see what happens with Rodrygo and maybe last night improves our optimism.
 
I know I am dreaming, but if Man City are demanding 70 million pounds for Savinho to buy Rodrygo, we should be willing to pay 100 million to buy Rodrygo ourselves. He is only 24 years old and has proven he can perform at the highest levels. He scored a brace against Man City in the CL semi final a couple of years ago.
Plus wages .
If we double Savages wages to £80k and week, that's about £20m for 5 years.
Rodrygo is already on about £250k a week so that's £65m without a payrise.
This isn't even in your dreams

I don’t even think Rodrygo would consider coming to us. And if he did, and we made any headway at all in terms of agreeing a fee, I think Woolwich, City and possibly Chelsea, at least, come in for the gazump.

It's not a deal we have a single solitary chance to pull off. His stock is simply too high. If he intimates he wants to leave, every money club in the world will be on alert.
 
Time to put the transfers are really complicated bullshit to bed once and for all . They are only complicated if one or both parties make them so .

Marinakis who the Levy lovers want to claim is difficult has bought over 100 players in 8 years , logic dictates he has probably shifted a similar number . . That as an average is 12 players roughly in and out every window ,( January and Summer) yet nobody wants to deal with him 😀. Levy got schooled by Marinakis whichever way we want to slice and dice it . Sunderland on Saturday had a starting 11 with 8 new signings. Burnley have 25 or so either in or out this window , little Burnley with no clout or infrastructure.

Let’s not go down the we are shopping in a different market crap , Liverpool , Chelsea, United , Woolwich and City have done more business than us . City started in January admittedly .

So let’s stop with the pretence that deals are so complicated. United have no European football and are a basket case , if Woolwich wanted Eze he would be there . So the bigger clubs can also do deals without the complicated bullshit argument . Of course they have done less deals than Burnley , they don’t need entirely new teams . United need more obviously but are screwed by years of mismanagement, not the complicated nature of deals.

The clubs that are struggling are Newcastle because of FFP , Villa and West Ham . I presume nobody will argue but look at West Ham struggling. I readily admit imo Sullivan is a monumental clown

Of course there are deals than can be complicated, but it’s bullshit to pretend it’s the norm , it’s far from the norm . If all clubs deals in and out were as complicated as some on here like to claim the amount of deals concluded would be a fraction of the reality .

I know there is a few weeks left of the window, but today feels like now or never for Eze.

I can’t shake the feeling that if he begins the European adventure with Palace, that he’ll likely stick it out . . .
 
Savinho saga seems like its waning,Man Shitty having internal conflicts, reports confirm we were in contact a week b4 the reports broke so coming upto three weeks now , so with 1.5 weeks to go we need to focus on plan b... for me a cheaper option but no way cheaper quality more the opposite especially in output 40-42M will get us Lookman , also has great versatility.

Nah he’s an Everton level signing. I suspect he’s been offered out to the whole league as he wants out of his current club.
 
I agree.
Only 27minutes of football in 12 games under alonso i believe.
If thats the biggest nudge to say 'I dont want you' ive probably ever see to such a top calibre player.
I think theres abit of a standoff going on. He will surely leave because hes getting zero football in a world cup year.

It would be very hard for any player to leave Real Madrid, but if you aren't getting game-time, then you have to look at yourr options.

But thre are also likely to be numerous factors to consider,not least climate, culture and much more.
 

Confused! Romano is saying City want to bid for Rodrygo if we buy Savinho. But then he goes on to say City have blocked the move to Spurs?
Has the move been blocked and therefore we will never get Savinho or has the moved be blocked because we won't meet City's valuation? If its the latter then surely the word "blocked" should be replaced with "rejected" Spurs bid!
