Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Seem to be a lot of discussions going on - question which if any of them will result in a transfer.

As I understand it :

Akanji or Ake

Savinho or Lookman

Rogers or Pacqueta (and if Rogers comes to us Villa probably buy Pacqueta as replacement)

Am I missing any other possible transfers ?

Can I ask why so many are talking about Morgan Rogers? Is there any valid reports that this deal is even remotely possible? I'm just surprised that his name keeps being brought up. I haven't seen any independent journalist mention this deal being on.

I assume Rogers starts for Villa tonight and then the deadline is tomorrow. So I really can't see how this is even close to being a runner unless I've missed something. I'd have it at under 5%.

You can file Rogers with Savinho. Neither will happen.

You see that guy and see lightweight? He’s mobile but also a beast. Hes played CM plenty of times. Last season Transfermarkt have 15 appearances at AM, 4 at CM and 5 at DM(pivot).

Hes an all round midfielder with attacking instincts

I must admit I've never seen Paqueta play and thought "beast".

Instead I've thought "nice passer and some nice tricks but a massive flake who goes missing when the chips are down"

I might be wrong and it's the environment he plays in but the last thing Spurs need is another 1 in 5 performer. We need players who will consistently drop 8 out of 10 performances every week, season after season . MGW has done that - Paqueta never (at least in English football).

I agree. Not sure what the real story is here although I have my suspicion.

He featured in city's pre season friendly on the 9th of aug. The following week no news of injury until the pre match game after news of our interest broke.

Essentially hes had a niggle since the 9th or Aug. Theres no description of his type of injury anywhere out there, its a secret injury.

Foden and cherki injured for today's game.

My hunch is that paqueta is the Cork in the bottle here. Im not going to watch the spammed match but will be interesting to see if he gives any kind of indication that hes off after the match.

Paqueta > villa
Rogers > city
Savinho > spurs.

Thats what im hoping can happen and if not lookman on loan would be a good result.

Exactly. Although I just can't see all those big moves happening in just over 24 hours.
