Are Spurs Fans Too Fickle?

You should also remember that Spurs had many sub-par players to get rid of. I won't bore you with all the names—you know who they are—and for the most part they did,  replacing them with many very good players.

Gomes looked very impressive in the Chelsea game, commanding his box like a goalkeeper should.  Bentley so far this season has crossed the ball more times than any other Premier League player. Then there's no denying the skill of players like Modric and Giovanni, and now we also have Corluka and Pavlyuchenko.....all these are new players!

Do you remember how painful it was to watch the Spurs midfield last season, no thrust and no creativity.  I don't think you can say that now!

So in terms of bringing in new players, Levy has delivered here too. He has made the funds available so that Ramos could strengthen all the areas that Spurs supporters were crying out for. And before you say that they got a lot of money from selling too,  buying those players did not seem to rely upon Spurs selling Berbatov or Keane.  

The spending spree had already been initiated!

For once in a very very long time, I look at the Spurs team sheet and can't see a weak link—can you remember the last time that was the case?  However, with all these new players at Spurs, they are going to take time to gel. The team is essentially brand new.

Daniel Levy is a chairman that Spurs fans should be proud of. Whatever he does appears to be for the best of the club and it's traditions. I can't find any area where he has let Spurs fans down. Although a bit of positive PR wouldn't hurt.

 

Are Spurs fans too fickle?  

Go ask Man Utd fans who were emailing in to Sky Sports calling for Alex Ferguson's head when it looked like Man City were signing Berbatov...now that's what I call fickle!

Go hold your nose and read the Arsenal forums...they are pulling their hair out that they've not replaced the good players that left. They are also very angry at Wenger who's been promising a player or two all summer (apart from Nasri) but hasn't delivered, and they now see him as failing on his promise.
