2 In, 2 Out


Spurs have announced the signings of Leandro Damiao and Nuri Sahin this week. They join from Internacional and Real Madrid respectively.

Leandro Damiao joins from Brazilian side Internacional for a fee of 36 million. The big Brazilian striker has proved to be a vital player for Internacional over the last 4 seasons, scoring 55 goals in 101 appearances. The born goalscorer has been capped 23 times for the Brazilian national team, scoring 10 goals. It is thought that Villas-Boas had been interested in signing the player ever since he took charge of Tottenham. Villas-Boas described the player as "a born goalscorer" and "pure class".

Nuri Sahin

Age: 24

Sahin is the second signing. The Turkish international joins from Real Madrid for a fee of 14.5 million. The midfielder was deemed surplus to requirement at the Bernabéu hence being sold. He spent the first half of last season on loan at Liverpool and the other half on loan at Dortmund. Sahin joined Madrid at the start of the 2011-12 season but has never been a real success there. André Villas-Boas described his new signing as "a creative young midfielder" and "simply wonderful". It is thought that he will be vital to Sours league campaign this season.

Meanwhile, right back Kyle Naughton has left the club to join Swansea on a season long loan. The other player to leave is Christian Eriksen. The Danish international joins Liverpool on a season long loan.

Manager Notes

What a month, we've won the Community Shield and the European Super Cup, I can't believe it. At the moment with 3 games gone we are sitting at the top of the league, hopefully we can stay there for the rest of the season, here's hoping. Pre-Season went really well as well, we came through it unbeaten. Lewis Holtby is also proving to be a great player by scoring brilliant goals, a hat-trick against Manchester City and 2 against Stoke.

We've also had our group draw for the Champions League. We have been drawn to play Barcelona, Galatasaray and FC Kobenhavn. It's a rather tough group with Barcelona and Galatasaray almost definite to provide stern opposition. This is how the group looks:
