Good opening weekend win for Spurs. A typical AVB 1-0 performance. Paulinho was brilliant and Capoue looked very good when he came on. Paulinho, Dembele & Capoue fighting for two places should be interesting. Chadli was quiet in the first half but seemed to grow in confidence as the game went on. Soldado did well also with some nice touches/link up play and took his penalty well. All in all very pleased with all the new faces seeming to have settled in straight away.

Willian deal appears sewn up , on to Erik Lamela now !

AVB must be under serious pressure to get at least top 4 this season. Having broken Spurs transfer record 3 times this summer I would suspect Levy would expect - and have every right to - them not to be too far behind the trio of Chelsea, City and Utd. Thought they might stregthen a bit in defence. Promising times for them though.

Levy seems to be doing things weirdly. He seems to have spent the Bale money before getting it in. He seems to trust the bearded one though!!

Or maybe we are going to keep Bale too !!!!! Or maybe not :-(

I think Levy has done great business and in the right manner too. If, and it's a big if, they were to hold onto Bale then I believe Spurs would be challenging the big 3 but even without Bale (looks a dead cert now) Spurs are gonna be serious force this year.
Also if Levy waited for the Bale deal to go through to do business then you could add 4/5 mill on to every signings price tag as everyone would know the have a 100mill in the bank. Levy always does good business, always supports his coaches financially and it's not Like Joe Lewis can't afford to splash 120 odd mill on players.
Good luck to them.

Bale will leave, I'm pretty certain, but Christ there's been some good business done there this summer. If Coentrao goes in as part of the Bale deal I'm pretty sure Topman (as El Nino calls them) will get 3rd. There'll be no touching City and Chelsea this season but, as much as it pains me to say it, Topman will probably lay claim to the next best this year - barring massive transfers at OT or the Emirates.
