Levy isn't going to throw out all the stops to get us a title winning team.
Based on the fact he hasn't had a good game in over a year? £11,000,000.
People seem to sometimes forget that we have a core of young, talented players who other top teams would cut their left nut off for.I think we already have one.
Incredible that people think Levy hasn't changed his tactic.
Kane and Eriksen (free kicks) mostly carried us the season before tbh
the Bentaleb - Mason midfield was ok but not the reason we finished where we did
some people (mostly on other sites) talk as if Bentaleb is a world class player who carried the team and is irreplaceable
edit to add: i like Bentaleb as a player and i think Poch rates him but not enough to overcome attitude problems
They'll be better next year, I think, and our signings so far will hopefully give them a big boost.
To be fair to Bentaleb, he was one of our best players in Poch's first season
People act like he was incredible, when in reality he got 1 goal and 3 assists. MASSIVE!
What did Bentaleb do that people value so much?
He can't defend
He can't score
He can't assist
He's not a deep play maker
He's slow on the ball and doesn't rotate it fast enough
He loses it constantly when he does play deep, usually putting us on the back foot
I'm honestly flabbergasted that not only do people rate him, they worship him.
Bentaleb is a typical "Runs about a bit, looks alright" sort of player who actually has no impact on games.

good solid player a couple of season ago surely?
Also, we only really clicked as a team a couple of months into the season.The main barrier to us breaking into the top 4 was always mental fragility. How often do we call Totteham bottlers, or almosters?
I think that not only have we improved tactically, physically, technically etc but the most important improvement has been the mentality change. For large parts of last season we looked like the United of old, and other than a blip at the end of the season you couldn't really say "typical Tottenham" with any real conviction.

Further to that (on being like United), Wanyama will allow us to see games out (e.g. defending a one-goal lead) far more effectively than last season.
I always felt that if we made a substitution last year, in a game where we started with our strongest lineup, then it actually had a tendency of weakening us in the final 20 minutes or so.
Our bench will be much better this season.
