I expect Naughton to have a tough season next year at Spurs, I think he will be our second choice right back. Naughton is good defensively and is a great reader of the game but I feel the one thing he needs to work on is his physical ability. When going shoulder to shoulder with a player last year he frequently lost the battle. I expect Naughton to score a lot next year when he receives his chance because last year he showed everyone that he has a thunderbolt of a shot. Hopefully Naughton does get a good load of chances and he can prove the potential that he has.

Player expectations for next year ! (Kyle Naughton)
Arguably our second choice for Kyle Walker, Naughton had to play on the left most of the time last year with Benny being injured for a period of time. Naughton showed that he is defensively sound and also has an extremely powerful shot which on many occasions he was very unlucky not to score.

Player Expectations for next year ! (Danny Rose)
Danny had a great loan spell at Sunderland last year playing at left back. This guy used to play at left midfield so likes to get forward but he can also defend well too. But what most people know about him is his goal against Arsenal.
I honestly believe that Danny will be our first choice left back next year as Benny Assou-Ekotto is too much of a risk for Spurs next year. Danny is great going forward and can take on any player and whip in a great cross but what I expect Danny to work on next year is his defending. Danny isn't a terrible defender and can defend but only good enough for a team like Sunderland but for a team challenging for Champions League I feel he needs to work on his defending a little. If Danny can improve his defending I think he will become a great left back.
Player expectations for next year ! (Steven Caulker)
Last year Steven got a lot of game time due to many defenders being unavailable and Steven took his chance and showed everyone what a great young centre half he is. Playing against the top teams he showed great maturity and confidence.
I think that Caulker will find it harder to get into the Spurs team next year due to Kaboul becoming fit again. Despite this I think AVB like Caulker and sees the potential in him so I am sure that Caulker will receive plenty of game time next year. I expect Caulker to become a great defender in the coming years with him showing great aerial ability and physical strength. He is a real threat from set pieces at I expect him to score a few more goals next year. One thing I expect him to work on though is his concentration. At times I feel he can switch off and make some silly mistakes that really should be avoided however I'm sure that once he gains a bit more experience he will become a great defender and this guy really is one to look out for in the future.

Player expectations for next year ! (MIchael Dawson)
Michael had to step in a lot last year as many other defenders were out injured but our captain proved everyone that he is still a great defender and a very talkative captain. The commitment Dawson puts into every tackle is unbelievable and he definitely worthy of our captaincy.
I expect Dawson to find it very hard to get into the first team next year with Kaboul and Verthongen being two excellent defenders however as we found out today that Jan is out for 3-4 weeks which gives Dawson the perfect chance to prove himself to AVB. Although it seems set in stone that Dawson will be second choice to Verthongen and Kaboul it is not and is a harder decision for AVB than many people seem to think it is. With Dawson not playing we will gain a better defender in either Kaboul or Verthongen yet we will be losing one of the best leaders in the league and without Dawson on the pitch their is not a real captain on the field. So hopefully we get to see a lot of all three defenders next year.

Player expectations for next year ! (Kaboul)
Unfortunately Kaboul was out for the whole season last year which was a big disappointment for all as everyone was looking forward to see him and Verthongen play together. So this is my expectation for Younes based on past years.
Younes Kaboul is quite simply a BEAST. I mean just look what he posted on Twitter !

This shows the physical strength of Kaboul and just how strong he is. Not only is he physically good he is also very good at defending. I expect him to be a starting player next year and hopefully if Verthongen is fit I think the two will be an unbelievably great partnership. The two defenders have the same sort of style as both like to get forward and ultimately both score a lot so I expect Kaboul to get on the scoresheet a few times next year. I expect Kaboul to be a main target from set pieces and hopefully he loses the habit of giving away a lot of set pieces to the opponent as well.
Player expectations for next year ! (Verthongen)
Super Jan as he is known was one of our best players last year. Unfortunately Jan was injured yesterday in the Barclays Asia Trophy which looked rather serious but hopefully it is nothing to serious and he is able to start the new season.
I expect Jan to start at the back next year and I expect him to work brilliantly in a partnership with Younes Kaboul who was out all of last year. I expect Jan to be just as strong and physical next year. Last year Jan proved that not only did Jan help us a lot with not conceding but he also helped us score a lot last year and he proved that he can score with his feet and for a centre back he is very skilful this was what made him get such a great status in the league. I expect next year he will establish himself as one of the best defenders in the league and he will definitely be a key figure in helping Spurs challenge for top four.

Player expectations for next year ! (Assou-Ekotto)
Benoit is definitely a very interesting character who you will never believe didn't even like football but was good at it so he started playing it. Benoit can have a great game but often makes some dreadful mistakes.
I do not expect Assou-Ekotto to be our first choice left back next year with Danny Rose rising up the ranks and AVB reportedly looking for a new left back. Assou-Ekkoto is a good left back in my opinion but is too much of a risk for a team challenging for Champions league football. If Assou-Ekkoto can cut out his stupid mistakes then I'm sure he will be a very good defender but these mistakes occur to often that I do not expect Benoit to be able to cut out the mistakes.
