12 Players Spurs are following

I'm not surprised my last article went over the heads of some with limited vision who couldn't understand the last 20 years has been working towards one goal.

Changing a manager isn't changing a vision, it's merely an acceptance that that particular manager can't provide ongoing improvement and player development within the financial constraints club income imposes at the time, so you continue to search for one that can.

At the same time, the overall vision to build Spurs to compete with the elite has continued and not changed.

That could only ever be achieved by delivering the financial and infrastructure side first, the team is down the line when you begin the process.

Anyway, moving on, your favourite talk is Tottenham transfer talk and transfer speculation, hence why newspapers have to have a fresh story or angle or further news on a story, whether it exists or not each day.

Generally, it means a club are following a player, but following a player and trying to buy a player are two very different things.

You have to follow a player to evaluate them for a start so today we'll look at 12 players Spurs are following, most you won't know about, the final one of which Tottenham are reported to be prepared to put in a summer offer for.
