Tottenham Taking Shape
What an excellent summer this is becoming as the anticipation grows ahead of a new season. The club needed change, the Gareth Bale money was wasted on the expensive buys many fans constantly crave.
That was an opportunity to shortcut the path we were on but we failed to take advantage of it and have had to revert back to growing into a successful side. Mauricio Pochettino has been brought in to build the club, not just pick a first team.
A new stadium, an NFL tie-up that has huge potential, the departure of players lacking a winning mentality and the attraction of players who want to improve makes for exciting times ahead as a Spurs fans. Kevin Wimmer is expected to develop into a top quality centre-back, Toby Alderweireld has demonstrated his ability and has time to improve further, Eric Dier again has the chance to move to another level.
Kieran Trippier seems to be a shrewd signing and Tottenham are targetting players who fit the style Pochettino wants to play, rather than buying a bunch of players and seeing what they can do. part of the criteria, if they are young, is that they have the ability to move into the top quality bracket and thus we grow and evolve as a team to compete with the best. Add Alex Pritchard, who wows everybody and Dele Alli, who is expected to become another Steven Gerrard and the future looks bright.
Roberto Soldado is in talks with Villarreal with his agents seeking a return home for the Spanish international. Soldado didn't perform, but Spurs fans still supported him, the ability is there, the head wasn't unfortunately. it seems he has slumped too far down a slope for us to pull him back. The game, Fiorentina at White Hart Lane I think, where instead of beating the keeper one-on-one and scoring, he tried a failed sideways pass to Chadli summed up his predicament, devoid of any confidence whatsoever.
Tottenham have been chasing Fernando Llorente (follow the link for the story). We tried to sign him before he want to Juventus but out of favour there we are leading the race for his signature. As reported on 1 June, 23-year-old Sassuolo striker Simone Zaza (follow the link for the story) rejected our advances and would join Juventus, something he has now done. With Dybala and Mandžukić being bought there is no room for Llorente.
It has been clear to me that we have been looking for a young striker and an experienced striker to aid Harry Kane and help him develop. Italian newspaper Sport Mediaset claim we have won the race for Llorente's signature, a welcome signature if we have.
