Have to praise AVB for the signings he has made and the decisions he has taken.

His Signings:

Sigurdsson(may not be his signing)
Dempsey
Dembele
Lloris
Vertonghen
Paulinho
Chadli
Capoue
Soldado

He has shown faith on Rose to start ahead of the regular Assou-Ekotto.
Sold Caulker though he could have kept him as a squad player but AVB knew he couldn't offer him regular football.
He has got his stamp on the way Spurs play now i'd say he has done a good job.
If he manages to keep Bale I see them finishing in top 4.


I would personally take Capoue, Paulinho, Dembele ahead of Anderson and Cleverley.

Dembele, Vertonghen and Lloris are the only ones who have worked out so far.

I would take any of their 4 central midfielders ( Sandro, Dembele, Paulinho and capoue ) ahead of Cleverley and Anderson

All those signings and still a 1-0 scrape against relegation favourites due to a penalty

Lewis holtby for me is his most impressive signing due to how cheap he was, got an injury at the moment I believe.

The signings on paper look good but they weren't great today and scored with a pen, felt a lot like last season waiting on bale doing something which he wasn't available today. It is only the first game but think they could be a force after everyone settles

Dembele played well and paulinho was given the sky man of the match.up front was there problem plenty of chances but couldn't put them away

I saw Tottenham play in their last friendly last week and I must admit Paulinho and Dembele were very very impressive together. Combined cost of about 25 mill aswell.
