Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Christhian Mosquera, Kepa, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard and Piero Hincapie

Mathys Tel, Muhammad Kudus, Joao Palhinha, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic and Takai Kota
Why would you leave Xavi Simons off that list?

The way I see it, both teams have bought 3 players to upgrade first team positions (Gyokeres, Eze, Zubimendi vs Simons, Kudus, Palhinha) , whilst the other signings have deepened the squads respectively.
 
Good signing, more than makes up for the MGW and Eze fiascos.

A left winger and an option at CB would complete the window now. If we get that done the goal has to be top 5 and making it to the knock out stages of the CL minimum.
 
Forget who wants to be here, who doesn't and who is being held captive... look at the players... are you telling me MGW and Eze don't move the dial... seriously... and even if we do look at all the non football related stuff... Simons has been holding out for the Chavs for the entire window so I would question whether he really CHOSE us... the likely scenario is that he is left with us or staying at RB. Hardly a ringing endorsement that he is going to bleed lilywhite when he is on the pitch.
But it's irrelevant as they'll be moving Forest & Woolwich's dials, so no use salivating over what coulda been!

We've got Simons, who, whilst he was being linked with Chelsea all Summer was a generational talent who was gonna blow the PL away and be the difference maker....

Now he's ours, he's untried, untested at this level, a risk, and nowhere near as good as Eze & MGW!

Yes MGW and EZE ARE exactly the type of players we should have got in... But we didn't, so it really doesn't matter HOW good they turn out to be... they belong to someone else (annoyingly!)

Simons doesn't bleed Blue & White, but at least he's got the opportunity to show us what he CAN offer and prove his worth!
