I know this is a crazy theory, but I have a feeling that perhaps AVB and Levy have decided that this if Spurs have any chance of winning the league in the next few seasons, this is the season in which to do it.

There have been big managerial changes at Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea, whilst Arsenal aren't the force they used to be and Liverpool are still rebuilding their squad.

I'm not saying that I think spurs will win the league, but with the squad we're assembling, we should at least be able to put up a fight. I feel like if we were to keep Bale, it would be a real sign of intent.

Just an opinion, but I'd be interested to see who agrees {Ed008's Note - Here's my theory behind it I think Levy and AVB expected top 4 last year and then they would make the step up for challenging for the title this season no top 4 this year has led to Bale's departure and I'm sure he would have stayed he's possibly leaving and all these quality players are being signed to make that challenge on the title. Spurs were in contention for the Premiership I think about December/January then injury occurred then it became challenging the 3rd/4th position I think they have a very good chance a midfield 3 of Sandro,Dembele and Paulinho is one of the best in the league.

My 2 concerns currently are backup to Soldado and our back line. City look stronger than us at the back, though i'd take Lloris over Hart, and up front they have better options to cover Aguero. Our midfield is at least the equal of theirs if not better on paper.

Correct me if i'm wrong edds, but can't willian play up as a striker? would he be seen as the starting attacking mid/striker cover. {Ed008's Note - All across the attacking 3 and can play upfront..

That's the thing with avb.he likes players who can play in different positions so the team is versatile.
hence, our attacking options don't rely on only soldado.

Will take a little while for this team to gel but AVB also likes to bring people in slowly, we need to grind out some results whilst the team gel.
I'm hoping capoue starts with paulinho and dembele this weekend think sandro isn't quite there yet but would really like to see those three, give paulinho more freedom and let him be used for what he was bought for, and also push up dembele who I think will be more effective further forward, we will soon see though.

I think this is a big push to get the players in before money splashed out on the stadium no more spending in the next couple of transfer windows unless were very successful
