Four years ago, Tottenham saw a light in all-star Gary Westroad, ex-player at Tottenham. Quickly appointed as Head Coach, he brought the club to glory. Memorable achievments? Three times in a row Manager of the Year, Twelve Manager of the month awards, League Title won two times in a row, Three League cup wins, Three FA cups, One World Club Ch'ship and two Champions Cups.

As the season started, his fifth season, he's granted 64milions as a budget and 3.5M as a payroll budget. Few transfers are made, old-star Nilmar being replaced, van der Vaart retiring, Kevin Bond being replaced with Eric Black and a few more signings.

Last year was all-round succesful, beside the defeat in the league cup against Chelsea, in min 121 with a point-blank screamer from Mata.

This year, Mignolet joining the club after Carrasso's department, on a free transfer. Juanmi, a 22 y/o star, comes to replace Nilmar, and be a succesful young player, for a fee of 30mil, from Juventus. Even more, Inter youngin Lorenzo Tassi joins Tottenham on a one year loan.





Expectations? Win the league, reach the final of Champions cup, and get once more the FA cup.
Pre-season : String of fairly good performances. Bale, Muniain and Juanmi ( Brand new signing, 20y/o youngster ) along with Subotic assured us the wins. Cavani is ruled out for 2 months, broken arm, while Filipe is still with Brazil in their championship trip.

Two brand new signings, Peter Stein robbed from Bayern Munchen after he ran low on his contract, although a sum of 2.6milions was paid as compensation. The money is worth in the end, since this boy is a mega star!

The other signing is Liverpool's Lewis Davies, brought for a sum of 17.5 milions, yet, another future champion that will strenghten Tottenham's youngsters.

Juanmi already assured his place in the first team's subs, replacing Cavani until he returns. Muniain will feature as the club's striker till the Marksman returns. Mauro Zarate, ex Lazio player and Tottenham's top finisher, is in danger of being sacked due to awful performances and total fitness and training drops after his 6Months rule out Broken Feet. Supporters shall decide if he will be dropped, but its not all their oppinion.
Hmmz, I'd love to see a screen of Juanmi :)
I might have splashed a large sum of money on Juanmi, but I say it will be worth the outcome
Juanmi is nice, but please do individual training on positioning, it will help him score even more goals, and also composure would be nice for the bigger matches :)
doing great mate :D
End of the pre-season.
A good all-around pre-season with three new young players secured. Last match was against top Italy side, Roma, against who Tottenham secured a great 4-1 win due to the performances of Muniain, Bale and Subotic. Subotic secured the man of the match award with two, top class headers that scorched Stekelenburgs net.

Injuries
Despite the positives, Filipe got ruled out 4 months for a Torn Calf Muscle created by Bella, Roma's player, as he slid in hard onto Filipe. William Ekong is close to a return following a disc hernia from the last season.
All-star Gareth Bale, Tottenham's highest earner, best player and one of the best players in Europe ruled out two weeks after a clash between him and Sagna, Arsenal's player in the Community Shield.


Community Shield
A very weak performance all around, yet, ter Stegen, Juanmi and Bale impressed. Juanmi hasn't managed to score due to Szesczeny performance, yet has proved he is a quality side, and a future star with two deadly shots parried by the keeper. Bale equalised in min 28 with a scorcher from the Six yard box, Arsenal's keeper staring at Bale, then realises the ball hit the net, speachless. Later one, Tottenham had a great chance to take lead, but Phil Jones missed a penalty.
Game ended 1-1 and went to penalties. Szcezceny proved incredible, parry'ing three shots from Tottenham, but Arsenal failed to win due to three over-the-bar misses from their side.
Any way, Tottenham managed to take the cup home.

Transfers
Mauro Zarate left Tottenham for a fee of 10milions, after a huge value-drop and his game being set-backed after a 6 month injury, a broken leg. Now, he found his new home at Newcastle.
u seem to have a pretty good squad. how is cavani going ( pre injury ) . ive never bothered to sign him because everyone on here seems to :P
He returned to light training, will be back in 12 days.
Just working on Rozema from Ajax for 8.4 mil. 17y/o, great player, will be topclass
i think u should definitly sign him if you can get the funds available. i would do trainig on his composure and concentration firstly. he is a player u will eventually be able to build your team around
Transfer news
Rozema, one of the most promising players has signed a four years deal with Tottenham. He was bought from Ajax, with Man City interested in him too, yet, he goes to Tottenham.

David Silva was snatched by Tottenham for 8.5milions, as he wants to revive his career.

Performances
Spurs have won their first match against Blackpool 4-1, but had a draw against Stoke at 2-2, due to a dramatic equaliser in 93rd minute by Berndter.
In the European Supercup, Spurs faced Chelsea once more, and won 1-0 in the 115th minute due to a scorcher that Bale sent towards the rivals. The victory is all due to ter Stegen, who brought a phenomenal performance, and was rated as the Man Of the Match, with a 9.3 rating. He kept out vicious shots from Torres and Mata.
Muniain is finally back in form, scoring 3 goals in two appearences in the league.

Injuries
Bale and Cavani have returned from their injuries to play in the Supercup, and, seems that Spurs won!
Performances
The club's board has succesfully uploaded the results of this month and previous month. As you can see, Tottenham managed alot of victories, but two draws.

Once again, Bale and Cavani show phenomenal performances, and the youth team is going good too.

Injuries
Bale is out three months due to a broken ankle in the last result versus Sunderland. He was tackled by Kyle Naughton, who received a red card after the clash.

Facilities
Once more, the youth facilities have been upgraded to the max, and the recruitment network had more money pumped in.
In June 2016, Tottenham moves on the Perryman Arena, a 49688 seater stadium.
