Tottenham Hotspurs - Future is Bright!

Tottenham Hotspurs - Future is Bright

In 2014, Mauricio Pochettino took over a side that were struggling for form. He left Southampton to take over a tottenham side that needed change and a manager that knew what he was doing and the mentality to win. That's when we met Mauricio Pochettino. So why is the future Bright for tottenham?

New Stadium 

Tottenham Hotspur is currently in an advanced planning stage of building a new stadium at a site next to their current stadium White Hart Lane. Stadium with a 61,000 capacity, including single tier with 17,000 seats. Incorporating fully retractable pitch for NFL matches. Tottenham will now play at wembley for their champions league games in the 2016/17 season. But in the 2017/18 season tottenham will have to play all their home games at Wembley when White Hart Lane will be knocked down. So why is this such a big thing for tottenham? well Tottenham new stadium will be the largest stadium in London and will have the largest one single tier in England. So that something to look forward in the future.

Youth System

   

Harry Kane and Ryan Mason are the most recent players that have came out of Tottenham academy system. Harry Kane has been the most successful player to come out of the youth system recently by scoring 25 goals this season beating Teddy Sheringham’s and Gareth Bale 21 goals in one season. But who else has came through Tottenham Youth System? Ledley King, Jake Livermore, Glenn Hoddle and Sol Campbell. But who is Tottenham next academy superstar?

Bigger Transfers

Tottenham over the recent years haven't made the best signings over the last 3 years. Signing flops such as Roberto Soldado, Stambouli and Federico Fazio. But last year after Mauricio Pochettino had the chance to change the team into what he wanted. So he signed players such as Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Toby Alderwiereld. After this season we have made big strides because we have finished third and now we can attract bigger players because we are in the champions league. One big player who we have been in contact with is Mario Gotze, a world cup winner and a world class midfielder.

Who should your team sign - part 2

Who should your team sign - part 2

Crystal Palace

This was one of the worst season for crystal palace and the fans weren't happy. The main reason for crystal palace poor season is the strike force. Crystal Palace had a really poor season upfront as they only scored 39 goals altogether and was joint third lowest goal scorers in the division. And one player to change this is Christian Benteke

Christian Benteke before his move to Liverpool was a well know and a fantastic striker for Aston Villa. But this season he was very poor in front of goal and lost his starting place this season after Jurgen Klopp came in. But dont worry palace fans he was one of the best strikers in the league when he was at Aston villa and possibly be back on form next season if he join Crystal Palace.

Everton
This was again one of the worst season for Everton. This was Everton lowest season finish in 11th and the last time there finished 11 or lower was in the 2005-06 season when there finish 11th. Also  this season Everton won 12 games which is the lowest since the 2003-04 and lost 15 games which is also the most games lost since 2005-06. Who do Everton need to change their fortunes this season?
Neven Subotic 

The Serbian had an impressive season at Dortmund this season but he wants to leave Dortmund for a move to the premier league preferably and would be an excellent signing for Everton. Especially with the likely hood of John Stones leaving the club. He's 27 years old and is valued at £9.35m, he also won 2 Bundesliga titles and 1 super cup champion. He would be an excellent signing for Everton but clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool want his signature.

Hull City

Hull are back in the big time after a very impressive season in the championship to get promoted back to the Premier League. Hull finished 4th last season but got promoted after winning 1-0 against Sheffield Wednesday in the play-off final. So who do Hull need to sign for a strong campaign this season. And his name is Ryan Mason

Ryan Mason did not have the season he wanted after being injured for a major part of it whilst struggling to get in the tottenham team this season. But after coming through the tottenham youth system, he shows a lot of passion for the club and would be sad to see him leave. But Hull will benefit a lot from Ryan when he's on form and can show a lot of potential on the field.

Leicester City
Well what can i say, Leicester beat all the odds by winning the premier league when there were 5,000-1. Leicester don't really need to improve the squad after the winning title but there are a likely chance of Kante leaving which could be a big blow for Leicester. But who's really on Leicester radar Ahmed Musa

Ahmed Musa could be Leicester record signing at reported £16.6 million. But who is he? He's a Nigerian striker from CSKA Moscow and scored 18 goals in 44 games whilst scoring 42 times in 125 appearances. He can play at upfront or LW,RW or RM. So why do Leicester need him? preferably for a backup striker to Vardy or to start out wide.
