I'm still unconcerned by our form, unlike my Spurs supporting work colleague. I feel we have specifically gone for a change of club culture, tactics the works. A new man who is not going to tinker his way through the short term, but change the whole structure with aspirations of repeatable long term success.
On that basis, change will be slow and painful, but once that first win comes, the confidence it brings will fast track the changes.
We have had a huge turnover of playing staff, including the spine of the team with King, Modric and VDV gone. It will take time to work past such a transitionx but in Dembele I feel we have secured a player who can slot straight in, then with Vertonghen coming up to speed, and Sigurdsson finding his place in our system, we will have replaced them, not like for like, but with younger more dynamic players.
This international break has come at just the right time. The gap before the next game should buy a bit of breathing space for some of our new boys to bed in a bit.
There is talent in abundance, but they just need to gel, both with eachother, and a new manager and his system. It will come, and once it takes off, we will be flying.
AVB out talk is laughable. Levy has made his change of manager, he must allow him time to start making his own changes, and out transfer dealings have not made it any easier. Lateness, and missing out in Moutinho. But still, with what we have, we can and will make it work, we're just a bit behind due to the timings of our transfers, and now will have to settle in on the fly...
Good times ahead.
