With news today confirming the deal for Paulinho is as good as done, and David Villa seeming a pretty good chance to join Spurs, there remains one position needing immediate filling.
Tottenham last season lacked an alternative to Gareth Bale. There were calls of Spurs being a one man team, and in my opinion they were partly right. With the lilywhite rank and file always looking for Bale and opposition defences marking him closely, there was a lack of real creative flow to Tottenham.
While I like Lennon, I fail to see how he will push Spurs to the next level. If Lennon and Defoe are to remain at Spurs, I would consider them as impact players, much the same as Siggurdson and Holtby for now.
The one player I believe we need who is able to carve up opposition defences and create chances is Adel Taarabt. He is a player that comes with baggage, but as a more mature player than previously at Spurs, I believe he would be a great alternative to Garath Bale.
Now this would be a very unlikely signing, but not a ridiculous one in my view.
