They were great points from tobs_101.
Just to let you you know Arshavin is NOT going to Tottenham,
But everything else you said was spot on, Especially about defensive play.
They recently won a tournamet called the Feyenoord Cup.
Im unsure of all the teams in it but I know two were Feyenoord and Celtic.
Jermaine Jenas was named player of the tournament.
I think there best signings were Modric, Bentley and Giovanni although the signings to the defence were crucial.
Modric: The Croatian playmaker played fantastic in Euro 2008 and I beileve he was the player of the tournament.
Bentley: Played great for Blackburn and im sure he can carry on that form to Spurs.
Giavanni: With Robbie Keane gone to Liverpool I would say Giovanni is the perfect player to replace him.
