Transfers The Summer Transfer Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Tel or Cunha for similar transfer money? Cunha all day for me, prem league experience and miles ahead of Tel in all aspects, but Levy would see the difference in wages and no doubt opt for Tel.

Dibling, Larsson & Ekitike we should move heaven and earth for this summer.

Ideal for how the club looks to set up with young talent.

A midfield of Gray, Larsson and Bergvall with an attack of Tel, Ekitike and Odobert has so much potential to build on. I really hope Ekitike is smack bang on their radar.

I definitely could be wrong, but I get a bit of a Grealish vibe with Dibbling. people get very excited by any English player that can take more than two touches without tripping over themselves, and the boy can dribble for sure, I'm just not sure about what he does post dribble. He doesn't seem to produce or create much.

I do like Ekitike though. Good skillset. Also like what I've seen of Larsson (and the kid Bouaddi looks interesting too). Like Stiller at Stuttgart. Lemine Camara (Monaco).
 
Lots saying sell Bissouma and bentancur but do you trust the club to go out and buy TWO central midfielders currently better than them, because that’s what you’re really asking.

Sure let one of them go and replace him with a proper defensive midfielder to sit in front of the back four, which is what we ultimately need as we don’t have one in the squad. But we can’t let both go. The club have shown zero ability to replace older players with another one anywhere near effectively enough over the decades.

That’s my issue as well. Keep one of them just as insurance against the club making an arse of itself.

I think both. We need to move both on but I’ve never seen this club sign 2 starting 11 quality players in one position during a single transfer window…

Problem for me is, Bissouma out and Cardoso in isn’t really taking us up a level.

I don’t know if Gomes for Bissouma takes us up a level either. I haven’t watched him enough to know if hes consistent enough.

We have Gray and Bergvall who will be legit 6/8’s next season. It’s creativity that we need to replace Bentancur with imo.

We need another CM who can create.
