TRANSFER THOUGHTS

New signings....will they be a success or a failure?....here are my thoughts.......


TOTTENHAM THREAT
As far as the transfers for the new BPL season are concerned, i think that Tottenham have made the most effective signings, and can now really pose a threat to the top four. Firstly, they have fixed the leaking pipe at the back by getting rid of their unstable and unsure goalie, Paul Robinson, and have brought in Heurelho Gomes from PSV Eindhoven. Gomes has proved his class and caliber time and time again for PSV, at the biggest stage ie: The Champions League. His ability to make top class saves against the Cream of Europe make him a respected goalkeeper.

In midfield, they have signed one of the most promising players in world football ...Luka Modric. Modric may be small in size, but that doesn't stop this 22 year old from creating potent, and concentrated attacks. He is comfortable with both feet and loves drifting into dangerous positions. With a player like Dimitar Berbatov playing in front of him, Tottenham may just posess the deadliest attacking pair in the Premier League.
Then they have a quick and pacey winger in Giovani dos Santos who can also play up front if required. If there's one thing that I have learnt watching the BPL, it's that whenever a player is brought in from Barcelona, he comes to England and becomes a star. And i think it's the same with dos Santos as well. He is just 19, and has already made a few appearences for Barcelona, scoring a hat trick for them in his last game for the Catalan club. He could form a wonderful combination with Darren Bent.
And then, the player who needs no introduction, ...the rising star of English football... David Bentley. Bentley was much sought after by many clubs in England, but I think that he made the right choice by joining Tottenham. His passing ability and dead ball abilities make him a fierce threat. Can the Arsenal reject take revenge on his former club???....only time will tell! Phew, I can't wait for the North London derby!!!
Tottenham are looking like a volcano that is just waiting to errupt. The amount of talent that runs throughout the team is just simply immense.Rumours are also on that Arshavin may be heading to Spurs as well. That would surely play a huge part in making them serious title contenders. Dont be too surprised if you see pictures of players clad in white, spraying the champagne all over each other at the end of the season!
