As expected, Tottenham have announced Andre Villas Boas as the new Head Coach. This is a return to the previous structure whcih spreads the responsibilites between Coach and Technnical Director. It appears that Tim Sherwood will have a major say in future transfers.
The first thing that will need to be addressed is the future of various players. Luka Modric, Jermaine Defoe, Rafael Van Der Vaart and Giovani Dos Santos.
The future of Modric has long been discussed and there has been very strong speculaton recently over a move to Real Madrid. The suggestion is that Tottenham want a player in exchange. I would take the money from Real Madris as the other interst seem sto be form Manchester United and Chelsea and I would hate for Spurs to strengthen our rivals.
Jermaine Defoe has been very unlucky recently. He invariably scores when he is selcted to play and in my view has been badly treated. I am hoping that there will be room in our squad for Defoe and he maanges more playing time than he has this season.
Rafael Van Der Vaart has scored some very important goals for Spurs but has left the team imbalanced due to his inability to play a wide role suitable for the teams needs. I would consider offloading the Dutchman if the price is right as his value will only likely go down.
I have had plenty to say concerning Giovanni over the years. I hope a new man in charge will give some opportunities, but I suggest the hierachy have already made up their minds and have a deal on the table currently for the young Mexican to return to Spain.
There are plenty of things for AVB to ponder regarding current playing staff and future acquistions but I certainly hope he will be given time to so his job unlike at Chelsea. Fortunately we are a little short on Prima Donas.
