In my opinion you have a better squad than Arsenal
----------------------------------

Quantify.

I agree, even with Arsenals new signings i still think we have a better squad than Arsenal. RVP will be gone soon i am sure of it

For some reason I was gutted in the Arsenal buying Carzola (sp?)

Your assessment is fairly accurate, we need 2 quality forwards as a priority and maybe a GK, winger and (possible) replacement for the Rat.

Us Spurs fans are tired of talking about the urgent need for strikers, time will tell if we are serious about moving forward or standing still.

Maybe we wont be spending a great deal, money is maybe being ploughed into our new stadium.

lol how do they have a better squad than us.

ATM, looks like we'll have Giroud, Diaby, Mertesacker, Santos, Chamberlain, Song, Gervinho all on the bench. Not even thinking about Ramsey, Rosicky and Wilshere who are injured or not available right now.

Selling all of the players that you suggest makes perfect sense to me and would undoudtedly free up some much needed cash but putting them up for sale and actually finding buyers are two different things.

I think Bentley has been for sale for more years than he's played games for us

Giroud, Santos, Diaby, Merteshatter and Gervinho are championship level players.

I think all Spurs fans would agree that we need to fill these positions with some quality players but until the season starts it's impossible to compare us with Arsenal.

What I find interesting is that you think you've banked first or second which is interesting given that the other teams are far stronger than last year and United have made, what, one signing?

Like when you were sure Tottenham would finish 10 points ahead of Arsenal?

Or sure Arsenal would slip up and Tottenham will finish above them?

Or when you were definitely sure that Chelsea would not win the CL?

Chelsea won the C.L

Nobody tells me anything on here

Fair and accurate assessment on what we need to add to our squad but I wouldn't say ours is better than arsenal's anymore. Last season I'd have said yes but since then we've sold corluka, pav, pienaar, niko and obviously The King while arsenal have added players to their squad (to the tune of around £40m, who says they don't spend any money...)

Last year we could have named a possible bench (long-term injured players excluded) of:

Cudicini, gallas, corluka, sandro, pienaar, defoe, pav.

Compared to a bench now of:

Cudicini, caulker, gallas, hudd, dos santos, rose, Kane....

If think we need to sign two strikers, a CM (if Luka goes) and winger, then we are pretty much good to go. A lot of guff gets spoken about the state of our squad. I reckon we could do with just the two strikers until January even and still be ok.

We have let a few go, and have Vert, Caulker and Siggy that have bolstered other positions. I expect Naughton to be in the squad as FB cover after his Norwich loan, and Huddlestone is back fit again after missing the whole season. No panic here.

Diary doesnt really play as an orthodox CM in a pair does he? Very hard to compare him to either Parker or Hudd to be honest, who both play deeper (albeit different from eachother) roles.

If offered a swap I'd trade Parker for him, but Huddlestone is much underrated by fans of other teams. There is no way in the world I'd ever swap him for Diaby, not a chance. A different league? You must be on the crack pipe son

If I had the choice of two of the strikers mentioned OP, it would have to be Soldado and Damaio.
Both fit the mould and sell-on status of Levy's business model.

AVB stating that we only need one striker is leading me in my infinite denial to believe that one is already being tied up and is maybe delayed due to involvement in the Olympics...

Blah blah blah every season we hear this and every season we finish above - getting abit boring now.
