Tottenham Hotspurs Season Preview



Tottenham Hotspurs. Not too long ago, I see this side as a really dull and boring side, where they are simply too good to be in a relegation battle and too weak to fight for an European spot. So many changes since then.

I would like to compare them with Leeds in the early 2000s, not their spending habits though, at least not really. Even though there is a rise in the quality of the team and the football itself, Tottenham never won a trophy or qualified for a Champions League spot. They did secure the tag, 'the best of the rest.' Is Martin Jol's job safe?

Major signings includes Darren Bent (almost the same price as Henry), Gareth Bale, Younes Kaboul, and Kevin-prince Boateng. One to watch would be Gareth Bale. Pleas play him very often, the world wants to see what the hype is al about. We don't want another Theo Walcott.

Overall the squad is very very decent. I believe they have the potential of pushing for 4th place again, but there is all to it. What the fans need is a cup win this season. If not its going to be another so close yet so far season.
