Yesterday Spurs announced their second signing of the summer, Nacer Chadli. I was thinking "well why is AVB bringing in a midfielder and a winger even though we desperately need a striker ?" Then I realised why he has and this is what the two will do for us.
Paulinho is a great midfielder who can push forward and score many goals however as long as scoring goals he also provides something else. Last year Dembele was forced to restrict himself from going forward due to him not having anyone behind him to cover however with Paulinho it gives Dembele more freedom to attack and vice versa which means that Spurs will have more attacking options therefore more goals will be scored.
Chadli on the other hand is a completely different player to Paulinho but in effect will have the same sort of job next year. With AVB preferring Bale through the middle we had no one out wide on the left. With Sigurdsson or Dempsey there was no real pace and therefore all of Tottenham's play last year was down the left or through the middle. But with Chadli it gives another option. His pace will mean that defenders will find it harder to stick three players on Bale but also it gives Spurs another attacking option and balances the pace through the pitch. Not only does the signing of Chadli mean that Bale will score more it also means that we have another goalscorer. Chadli is able to create plenty of goals but also able to score them with last year him scoring 27 goals all competitions.
These signings do not mean we don't need a striker which is why Franco Baldini is in Valencia now to have talks over the possible signing of Roberto Soldado. Hopefully we can wrap up the signing of him quick and then for sure we will be able to score tons of goals without having to rely solely on Gareth Bale.

Tottenham Hotspur news today 22/07/13
Tottenham are looking at a double striker swoop of Loic Remy and Roberto Soldado
Spurs have signed Nacer Chadli of FC Twente for a fee around €7 million. The Belgium International looks a great signing who cannot only create goals but also score goals.
Spurs are to offer cash plus a player for Wigan's James McCarthy who Wigan value at £20 million.
Spurs have been told that they have up to the 3rd of August to complete the transfer of Roberto Soldado otherwise he will stay with Valencia.
After completing the signing of Chadli, AVB said he is still not finished in terms of transfers and would like to add a few more players to his squad.

Spurs All-Time XI - Strikers - Ft. Youtube Clips
Jimmy Greaves
Between 1961 and 1970, he scored 266 goals in 380 games for Spurs. There has been many great strikers for Spurs and Jimmy Greaves is one of the lazier of these players but he was the best goalscorer at Spurs and that was all he ever done ! Danny Blanchflower ( captain at the time ) said players used to say to him "all Greaves does is score" and Blanchflower would reply with "is that not the point of a striker".Watch this clip of Greaves to see all his best goals...

Teddy Sherringham
Teddy Sherringham is a legend to Spurs, Man United and England ! He was a world class striker and the main reason I have put Sherringham ahead of the other legendary strikers is for his terrific 38 goal season !http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQR2-XWW2AI
We have signed Nacer Chadli !
Tottenham have agreed a deal with FC Twente to sign Nacer Chadli.
It had been reported for a number of days now that the two clubs had been in talks over a fee for the Belgium international.
They have now reached an agreement and the 23-year-old will officially become a Spurs player once he has passed a series of medical examinations and settled on personal terms.
Once those details have been finalised, Chadli will link up with his new Tottenham teammates in Hong Kong.
Spurs have paid around 7 million euros to sign him and looking at him on youtube he looks like a great player; Last season he was injury prone but a great player with power and vision!
You must watch this clip!!

Tottenham Hotspur - All time XI - Midfield - Ft. Youtube Clips *best blog yet*
LM - Gareth Bale
Gareth Bale doesn't quite fit into the Spurs legends category because he has played just 1 outstanding season but, what's to come if he stays is quite exciting ! This season Gareth was noticed all around the world for getting up in the topscorers table and showing off his fine tricks that finish with a thunderbolt of a goal ! He is also a free-kick star... Here is some special clips of Gareth...
All goals (31)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHsIzHLctgI
Skills - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-48EfGjpdk
LCM - Glenn Hoddle
Glenn Hoddle, in my opinion is or was the best passing player and the player with the best vision that ever lived. His passing makes Barcelona look like average passers, not only that but did he have a rocket on him and to be honest he had a bit of skill and flair aswell. Although skill isn't his best aspect he still busted a few moves but really, his all about strength and power ! View this clip, it's my favourite youtube clip there is...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xz3uRITYI8
RCM - Paul Gascoigne
Gazza, one of the best players in Spurs history! He was a cheeky player with a bad temper but that's one of the things that made him stand out. Gazzas shot was admirable and so was his skill and passing ability, he was at the club for 4 years and made a huge impact! He is a hard player to explain in words so just watch this clip...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q59nMsJHCLo
LM - Chris Waddle
What made Chris Waddle so different is that he is just like skillers today! His skill was ridiculous and he used it all the time to embarrass defenders, he was also a brilliant crosser and had a great shot on him. He is extremely well remembered so watch this final clip and feel free to watch the other special clips again because they are truly terrific.

Tottenham Hotspur - All time XI - Part1 - Defence
Pat Jennings -
The best goalkeeper in his time and he played at his highest standard whilst with Spurs, he was so good that even rivals Arsenal used to greet him with "Good Morning God" ! The one big upset with Pat was due to all the directors, they treated Pat with such disrespect when he was about to leave and.. because of this he decided to get his own back and join rivals Arsenal, just down the road!
Steve Perryman-
Perryman played in a club record 866 first team appearances, in all competitions for Tottenham Hotspur between 1969 and 1986. He got 39 goals and showed unbelievable talent through his 19 year career at Spurs !
Gary Mabbutt -
I have chosen the great Gary Mabbutt because of his desire to play football and his desire more importantly, to play for Spurs! At 5"10 you will think he is not the strongest player in the world but how wrong could you be ! He also lives with a disease called diabetes and he done well to play how he did.
Ledley King -
Look at my last Spurs post for an overview on King's special career !
Cyril Knowles -
A left back who loved to bomb it upfront and create chances, he became famous for his amazing crossing ability and set pieces. This talent was incredible and he is a player to remember !
