At the moment, Tottenham is the only Premier League club that did not sign any newcomers (returned from the lease players do not count), but has already parted ways with Kyle Walker. And this is not particularly like the coach "spurs" Mauricio Pochettino.
"How do Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and others try to ensure that they improve their results in the new season?" Argued the Argentinean specialist at a press conference. - They acquire cool performers in order to make their stars feel competitive and play even brighter. As far as I know, we are expecting some trophies from us, it's wonderful, this is also an incentive for the players, but insufficient. I consider the same Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Eric Dyer or Toby Alderwayreld as stars, but I am absolutely sure that each of them will look even better if he knows that he has a competitor who at any moment has a chance to force him out of the main Composition.
I understand that we can not compete with Manchester United or Manchester City in the transfer market - the opportunities for the club are not those. Hence, we must look for other ways to increase competition in the composition. There will be a competition - in due course there will be also trophies ".
Under the guidance of Pochettino, Tottenham are rising every season in the final standings: 2014/2015 - 5 place, 2015/2016 - 3 place, 2016/2017 - 2 nd place.
