Some good positive stuff coming out of Tottenham these last few days, but I think we have to be careful not to get ahead of ourselves. AVB is a risk, there is no doubt about that, his Chelsea experience will be in the minds of Tottenham players. The potential is there, I just hope he can deliver as he did for Porto. Roy Keane compared him to Brian Clough, after his experience at Leeds, alienating players, before going on to huge success at a less 'traditionally' successful club in Forest. Anything close to that and I will be happy.
On the subject of transfers, I am strongly of the belief this is the right time to sell Modric. He is soon to turn 27, and for £40m as others have suggested, we can definitely find a high quality replacement. BUT we cannot afford another Berbatov situation, we need to sell early or risk big problems.
Vertonghen would be a great addition. Kaboul came on leaps and bounds last season and I see these two as a potentially forceful partnership. The issue of a striker (or 2) needs to be addressed, I don't know much about Remy & whether he would be suited to the premier league?
