Tottenham Hotspur have shocked the world as they have confirmed the signings of Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini from Everton football club. Both players were signed for undisclosed fees and have completed their medicals at Tottenham's brand new training ground in Enfield.

Leighton Baines is 27 years old and is an experience left back. He is a complete defender and is impressive not only when defending but when attacking too. He is one of the best crosser's of the ball in the whole premier league. Javier Hernandez will be happy with this signing as he loves to head in crosses, as he did so every frequently for Manchester United. Alongside with that, Baines is a set piece specialist. For Everton Baines was the free-kick taker and penalty taker. The Englishman spent 5 years at Everton before signing a contract with Tottenham. Baines will be earning something around 93,000 a week. He will be hoping as he has moved to a bigger club he can cement his place as the England left back a midst competition from Ashley Cole.

Marouane Fellaini is the giant from Belgium. He is an incredibly strong midfielder who is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder. The 24 year old is blessed with strength and great aerial ability due to his height. He is also very technical and has an excellent first touch. Many midfielders fear Fellaini because of his height as he stands at 194 cm, roughly 6'4 in feet and inches. Fellaini tends to come deep to get the ball and likes to make things happen. He is an engine and can run for 90 minutes without getting tired. Just what Tottenham need. Fellaini will join his compatriots Demebele and Vertonghen at the club. United and City were interested in signing Fellaini, but Tottenham were quick to get his signature on a contract that will see the Belgium earn something around 120,000 a week.

Tottenham have really shown ambition in this transfer market, but they've also gotten rid of some players. Kyle Walker has joined Everton for 16 million. Teddy Sheringham was not happy about the players attitude and wanted to get rid of him. Tom Huddlestone has joined Stoke City for 8.5 million as he was surplus to requirements. Jake Livermore has gone out on loan to Swansea City and David Bentley to Celtic with Celtic to pay a future fee of 10.5 million if they want to sign Bentley on a permanent deal.

Teddy Sheringham has really splashed the cash and we will be surprised if he was to sign anymore players, although he has about 14 million left in the bank.

Fantastic signings mate, but I'm sure the fans at Goodison won't think so Keep up the good work!

death of Everton?

Defoe has been sold to United, but Adebayor will be on the bench

I think so

Pre season is very important and must be taken seriously. Its gives the players a chance to gain their fitness, get use to playing with one another and prove a point to the coaches ahead of the new season. For coaches like myself pre season is almost as important as the season itself. Its give us a chance to tryout new tactics, give youngsters a run out and decide who's in our plans for the season, who we need to buy, who we need to get rid of.

This year the board arranged a tour of America but it was cancelled. However we did go to America to play San Jose. Our other fixture were against Vannes OC, Real Madrid, Leyton Orient and Sampdoria. Out of 5 games we won three and lost two. The tactic for this season will be a 4-3-3. We want to make use of wingers and then one striker up top as a poacher.





Here are our fixtures and results:



We're looking forward to the season. It will be very tough and stressful but I believe we can get a champions league spot. Our main target is to qualify for the champions league but we would also like to finish above Arsenal too.

Good depth in team - good story - I like it

Once again Tottenham Hotspur have shocked the world in this transfer market as they have confirmed the signing of Lars Bender for an undisclosed fee and the depature of Sandro. Everybody thought that Tottenham had spent enough money and they wouldn't be planning to bring anyone else to White Hart Lane, but they were all wrong.

Sandro, the Brazilian has been sold to Manchester City for an undisclosed fee rumored to be around 17 million. Many Spurs were confused at why Teddy Sheringham would allow the 23 year old, with a bright future to go but we know why, he already had a deal confirmed and Sandro had to make way for Lars Bender. Sandro was bought as a rotation player, as Yaya Toure is Manchester City's main defensive midfielder. Man City and Sandro agreed a contract seeing the Brazilian earn 83,000 a week.



Lars Bender is also 23 years old, and is definitely a player to watch out for in the future. The German a tenacious midfielder who is hardworking. In terms of attacking Bender is not the best but he is a rock in the midfield and alongside with Fellaini, it will be hard to break down the Tottenham midfield. The midfielder signed a 5 year contract that will see him earn 90,000 per week. Holtby will be pleased that his compatriot has joined the club, and despite also joining recently, will try and help Bender settle in. A fan uploaded a picture on Twitter which seems to be of Lars Bender in an airport, unfortunately the person failed to state which airport it was.





Right now, we believe Spurs are still interested in a few other players but we're not sure if they have enough money too purchase anyone else in this transfer window.

Fantastic signing mate, I signed Lars Bender for my spurs career as well. Sandro is class though, unhappy to see him go

Sandro is great both in real life and FM but for £17m and Fellaini in your side it's something I would consider seriously. How much was Bender?
