Well, to say you overachieved would be polite;) But yeah, congrads on winning Europa League and of course the BPL!

Spurs manager André Villas-Boas has been making a lot of money so far this transfer window by getting rid of all of the unneeded players. The 5 players that have departed are Jonathan Obika, Paulinho, Iago Falqué, Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Roberto Soldado.

The first player to leave the Spurs squad is young striker Jonathan Obika. He played 5 league appearances last season for the club, scoring 1 goals. Villas-Boas was obviously not impressed with him last season. The 22 year old has been at Spurs the whole of his career but has spent loan time at no less than 8 teams. He will be playing his football at Elland Road next season, after he joined Leeds for a fee of 250K.


The second departure is Brazilian midfielder Paulinho, who only recently joined the club. He played 26 league appearances last season, scoring 3 goals. In January Paulinho picked up an injury which knocked him back a bit and unfortunately he has never recovered properly. The big Brazilian was signed at the start of last season for a fee of 17.5 million, he has now been sold to Atlético Madrid for a fee of 20 million, giving Spurs a 2.5 million profit.


Next up is Iago Falqúe. The Spanish midfielder was signed from Juventus for a fee of 1.5 million in the 2011-12 season. The 23 year old has never been a real success at White Hart Lane. He spent the 2011-12 season on loan at Southampton, where he only played 1 game. Last season he played his games for Rayo Vallecano where he played 3 Liga BBVA appearances. Obviously Villas-Boas didn't see anything special in him hence being sold. He has been sold to Spanish side Espanyol for a fee of 2.3 million.


Cameroon international Benoit Assou-Ekotto has also agreed a move away from the club. He has joined French side Olympique de Marseille for a fee of 4 million. Villas-Boas has described this as "sad" because the player has been at the club from 2006, but both player and manager felt the move was right. Villas-Boas came to the decision as he has Fabio he plays at left back, he has also got Jan Vertonghen, Kyle Naughton and Martin Kelly who can all play left back. Benoit played his games for Championshipe side QPR last season, where he became a vital player for them.


Last but not least is Spanish striker Roberto Soldado, who joins Italian giants AS Roma for a fee of 14.75 million. Soldado joined Spurs at the start of last season for a fee of 26 million, even though Spurs have lost 11.25 million on him, 14.75 million is still a lot of money to have. Soldado was in good form until he tore his hamstring and was out for 5 months, he has never recovered really from the injury.

Dang getting rid of Soldado. I hope it doesn't end up hurting you.

Nice story silas, good luck with the next season!
