Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I do think he’s better than Eze and it’s an amazing signing but I also really really wish people would stop using stat comparison graphs on players performing in different fucking leagues. The Bundesliga isn’t half as good or competitive as the premier league.

Stat graph comparisons make sense between players in the same league playing similar roles and probably only really for similar level teams as well.
Not only that, but style of team as well.

Eze @ Palace is a player on the fringe of the game (attacking player in a low possession side), playing mostly in transtition, running into space...

Eze @ Woolwich is playing more in the opponent 3rd, less space, more possession....

Same player, my bet - totally different charts though

EDIT and in this context, not all metrics will improve either
 
Not for CL squad.

Currently we have 18 NHG (excluding Bissouma, Kulu and Dragusin - so 1 more needs to be dropped - Takai or Solomon the obvious ones).

And we have 6 association trained (4 max),
so 2 more of these AT players need to be dropped (from Spence, Davies, Gray, Maddison, Johnson and Solanke). Maddison plus one.

I think we might be able to reduce NHG to 16 and then have an extra Association Trained, not sure on the rules. So may be possible to drop Takai and Solomon and keep the AT trained players other than Maddison.
Wrong.
 
I was linking to a different post a few before . Misread

There's no max association trained players.
Unless they eat into the minimum club trained quota.
You can have an entire squad of club and association trained players.
 
Pep guardiola.

"Monday is the finish of the transfer window and next press conference you can ask me about that. Don't ask me about rumours, potential arrivals, or potential flights. So, next week!"

Why not just rule it out and say he's staying if the club has supposedly announced hes not allowed to leave/not going?

i thought clubs can register up to 21 association trained players. the '4 max' is dependent on the maximum of 17 overseas trained players being registered
 
Chelsea have not yet signed Garnacho, but Maresca is talking about him in the prezzer.

Odds on Frank being asked about Simons and him acting like he's never heard of him?
 
Imagine Savinho, Xavi and Kudus in the same side.

Absolute fucking nightmare fuel for defences.

City need to stop being such pussies and let it happen.
