Tottenham performance was so bad last season, and they were just so lucky to avoid relegation last season. Tottenham are trying to avoid what happened last season to repeat itself again, and that’s why they are spending so much money signing players which they believe will improve the team’s performance. We should expect a different performance from Tottenham by next season, because with the kind of players which they are signing right now, they really going to perform so well by next season.

If Tottenham didn’t spend money to sign players which are going to improve the teams performance, I know with time they just going to get relegated which is going to be a great problem for them, and the management knows about it, and thats the reason why they are serious signing players right now.

Was Tottenham waiting until they are relegated before they start signing players because I don't get. There were almost relegated last season and the season before last. they may not be lucky next season which is why they need to be serious this season otherwise they will be relegated. I don't know why they haven't been signing quality players all these despite that that they have the money. Tottenham don't want to be mock anymore,they want to be strong so they can compete for the premier league title next season,with the money they are spending to sign quality players, they are definitely going to be strong a contender for the title next season.

Madrid needs a stronger defensive midfield to boost their defensive and attacking buildup, If I was a coach, I would go for Enzo first because he has more fitness than Rodri presently, Rodri is yet to come back to full fitness after his injury. Both would be a good addition to the club, bearing in mind that Mourinho prioritizes defense.

Enzo can also be a good replacement for Modric in CMF if he's not available. I doubt Chelsea would be willing to release Enzo, only him hinting to like Madrid brought so much controversy and punishment last season . The truth is that Xabi needs Enzo in the team, if he leaves alongside Cucurella, the loophole will be massive. Another promising guy for Chelsea is Achaempong, with better training. I see him becoming the next Hakimi, he can singlehandedly turn defense into attack, but being young, he lacks some football sense to properly curtail his excesses.

I would not really call Enzo a defensive midfield, would you? I do know that he could play there, but for me he is more like a central midfield, sure he is not attacking I know that, but you do seem him on attacks here and there, and while he does on help with defense for sure, he doesn't stick to it.

I am not sure, but if you put hm as defensive midfielder at Real Madrid he would not be bad. But the problem is that, if Xabi keeps losing players left and right like this, he may not recover.

Tottenham had previously signed Mateus Fernandes in one of their most expensive signings to date. And next Tottenham is reportedly set to sign Sandro Tonali in a deal with an even higher transfer fee (Source). I think Tottenham is undergoing a major overhaul of their midfield given these large-scale signings. And it seems Tottenham hasn’t yet announced any interest in players to bolster their attack. I think they still plan to focus on strengthening their midfield for now in order to balance out their attack and even their defense. But I personally believe that Tottenham also still needs to bring in quality players to improve their performance so they don’t struggle like they have in the past two seasons, where they were always hovering near the relegation zone. They’ll take this into consideration hopefully so we can see Tottenham’s greatness performance return in the Premier League.

Here we go again.... Totenham spending a ton of money again in subprime players, i mean they are great players but are not top, im talking about Tonalli and other examples, but come on Totenham when you are gonna learn? Buy someone who is gonna be a generational player for your team, and build around him a new team, if you want to spend money spend it in a smarter way.

It is good to see that they are strengthening their team with a big amount of money and they have taken such a big step to show some good performance in the season and they will succeed. If this is the reason then they should not spend this money they should find a better player so that his performance and struggle can be better and he can prove beneficial for them I know if they work hard on him he will show good performance but still they should bring a developed player who can play with top performance and be strong. This is the reason why Tottenham is not playing with such a big thought while they should because they should think about making a strong one if they play like this then they will have to spend a lot of money every season and they will not get anything. That is why such a big money is also being invested on a player who is not that strong and this is being done to develop him they can get a good player for such a money.

It’s better for them to spend a lot of money in order for them to get better squads so that what happen to them last season will not repeated itself next season. And now that World Cup is going on this is the right time for the coach to keep monitoring the players, so that him can get the best out of the squad to sign to make next they season be a success for them.

If Tottenham didn’t spend money to sign players which are going to improve the teams performance, I know with time they just going to get relegated which is going to be a great problem for them, and the management knows about it, and thats the reason why they are serious signing players right now.

The management knows what good for the team that’s why is find the early solution right from now before it will too late, because once it late now there’s know way they can get a quality players again; as we can see currently now every team where boys signing a players.

Which teams do you think are title contenders for next year? I think Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are teams that could be in the title race. However, I don't think Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United will have much of a chance at the championship. Do you think Manchester United could be in the title race this year?

Arsenal should be first club on the list because they are currently in form and they are the champions of the premier league, it is possible for Manchester United or city to take over or just be in the race this new season. As for Aston villa and Newcastle I'm not really sure about these clubs because they can be very inconsistent. As for united They have a high chance of winning the title this year.

Manchester United may be worth considering, the rest of the same teams will still be favorites to win the title especially the Arsenal team, after winning the title of course this team will be able to be better in the next season and for Man City after the change of coach I am a little doubtful that this team can immediately show its best performance even though they also cannot be underestimated but at least there is an equal distribution of strength in several top teams so that the competition to win the Premier League title remains fierce as in every season.

These are big risks to take, I know. But Tottenham really need these signings. Of course there are better players out there as well but I doubt they can convince such big names.  

They don't even have anything to offer them in terms of achievement. We are talking about a nearly relegating team the last time. Big players wouldn't prefer going there. I just hope these risks conclude well...

Are you saying that the players signed are not good enough to be successful in the Premier League Competition? The same players De Zebri and Tottenham Hotspur recruited are same players who did well one way or the other last season in the Premier League Competition. Tottenham Hotspur in my opinion are moving ambitions just the same way it should be for Manchester United.

I'm just afraid that he has not really won anything with Brighton and even in his coaching career. Will he ever win anything for Tottenham Hotspur? De Zerbi will have to show working.

These are very good signing from Tottenham, when you looked at them last season you will see that they don’t have a god midfield, and when De Zerbi took over he knew that. Bringing in both Tonali and Fernandez is really a very good one from them. Bissouma already left and maybe Bergvall will be leaving too. With the players spurs bring in so far I really think they will be a team to watch out next season.

After finishing 17th twice, they need to put a things right, they need to start competing for European football even if they won’t get the league. For me I love De Zerbi style of play and I assure you he his definitely cooking something at Tottenham.

Totenham has been owning generational players in their side, but it's not even helping them to leave from the battle of relegation zone. Van de ven, Udogie, Bergvall, are not they enough? The problem is that hey're lacking of senior player who can handle the squad.
When Son was there, he's leading the squad and handle them. They need someone who can lead the squad. That's why they're eyeing Tonali. It's also Tonali's job when he was at Newcastle. 

[Supreme Donvic]

I don't know why Arsenal has not sign a winger, if they don't sign a winger believe me they will find it difficult to lift the premier League again, they need a good winger because there wingers right now are not performing they are not doing what a winger should do they are not creating chances they need a winger that will create chances and pass ball to the striker to score, right now they don't have that kind of player they should be looking for a very good winger and spend huge amount of money to get a good winger.

Tottenham performance was so bad last season, and they were just so lucky to avoid relegation last season. Tottenham are trying to avoid what happened last season to repeat itself again, and that’s why they are spending so much money signing players which they believe will improve the team’s performance. We should expect a different performance from Tottenham by next season, because with the kind of players which they are signing right now, they really going to perform so well by next season.

Over the last two seasons, Tottenham have been performing poorly, and their performances have been getting worse. Two seasons ago, they finished the season in 15th position, and last season they ended the campaign in 16th place on the table.The money they are spending now is much more than I expected. I believe they should have spent more last season to improve their performance, especially since they were lucky to play in the Champions League after winning the Europa League. However, they did not spend enough to sign more top-quality players.Now, maybe they have realized that if they do not spend money and sign great players to strengthen their team, they may end up being relegated.

If Tottenham didn’t spend money to sign players which are going to improve the teams performance, I know with time they just going to get relegated which is going to be a great problem for them, and the management knows about it, and thats the reason why they are serious signing players right now.

Honestly, they really need to rebuild the team now. If not, once they get relegated, it will be very hard to build the team back into one that will likely be competitive in the Premier League. What makes them get relegated is going to be a serious problem, as they will lose many of their important players because they may not want to play in the Championship,and even they get promoted back to premier League after relegation,they will never remain same Tottenham we may know for many years now.

The transfer window is still wide open and their is time for possible changes to happen anytime so I won't be surprised at all if I get to see that something actually happens with arsenal and the signing of players. The premier League always gets tougher every season and I believe arteta himself knows this and he won't do anything at all not to strengthen his side too because they will definitely need to play very well in the next season coming seeing that they will be trying to defend their title.

Arsenal will be the team to beat as they are the reigning champions. Manchester City is just behind Arsenal and if Liverpool can find consistency then they also have a chance as they have the squad strength.

In theory, Manchester United could become the champions, and it all depends upon how they are planning to secure Éderson and Aurélien Tchouaméni and some of the other players during the transfer window.

I've heard some news linking Arsenal to the transfer market. But we haven't got the results yet. It seems Arteta and Arsenal are being quite careful in making purchases this transfer window. Maybe there will be a surprise closer to the transfer deadline. Big clubs usually do that. Except when it comes to competing for players who have quite tough competition from rivals.

I don't agree with you, because I think these players that Tottenham have signed are decent players that can be very good players. I really think that Tottenham will do well in the upcoming season,  because they have a very decent manager that understands the league and they have also sign some good players that will definitely improve the team. I understand that a lot people really don't trust Tottenham,  but I think we should watch out for them in the upcoming season.  They will definitely not win the premier league,  but I think they will be in contention for a champions league spot.

I also agree that Tottenham have made some good signings and the players are truely decent players. My own concern is that we have said something similar like this about Spurs before, and they have not actually played beyond what we expect of them. Tho i feel like they will definitely be more competitive this season, but the only way is for them to be focus and consistent. If the new players settle in quickly and the manager gets the team playing the way he wants, then them going up to top four challenge i see it possible.

[len01]

Manchester united could most definitely be in the race next season from the look of thing, they have what it takes to compete against teams like arsenal and Manchester City all thanks to Micheal Carrick. Mancester United has been in form for a while and If they can be consistent then they would definitely have a chance to win the Championship next season. I don't know of arsenal can keep up the same pace but if they can work on their attack they might have a chance.

I completely agree with your point that Man United will be in the title race next season. Man City and Chelsea are both going through a transition period, while Liverpool are still trying to find the right manager. That's why I think United, as the more stable and well prepared team, will have a slightly easier time competing with the other top clubs.

That said, I don't quite agree with your opinion about Arsenal. Right now, Arsenal's squad depth is pretty much the same as before, and Arteta already knows the best tactics for this team. So there's a good chance Arsenal can still defend their title next season.

[Antotena]

I don't know why Arsenal has not sign a winger, if they don't sign a winger believe me they will find it difficult to lift the premier League again, they need a good winger because there wingers right now are not performing they are not doing what a winger should do they are not creating chances they need a winger that will create chances and pass ball to the striker to score, right now they don't have that kind of player they should be looking for a very good winger and spend huge amount of money to get a good winger.

You mean Saka and Martinelli are not doing well? Which one did they now used last season to win the league. If you mean an additional players as replacement incase of emergency, then I will go with what you said but saying they will not win a league is diabolical. They have more than enough to win the league,  there Trossard and Mudueke, what else do you want that these players can't provide for the team? They are more than qualified to win the next season.

I think Arsenal doesn't want to be signing players they are not going to use. Beside, no player want to be signed and kept on the bench, that means if Arsenal decide to bring new players they are going to be replacing this starters and that's what Arteta will not even try. He started this new project and it has been working for him perfectly, if there is going to be another option then this guys might not be ready with him again and he will understand fully.

On the bright side is that Totetteham have the money and they can use it as their advantage as I have already seen them using because they are acquiring players at some crazy amount and I believe that's the best option they have because players would rather come to Spurs for the cash and hope that they do well next season because everyone knows their stands before now in the premier League and if they don't strengthen up the team they will so much that will be lost next season when the competition gets more tougher.
