Being a Spurs fan can feel like being in a Charles Dickens novel. We have to wait outside the door where Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Woolrich, and Man United feast inside and then when its over we can hope there is something for us among the table scraps. Every summer we spend two months listening to the rumors about players like Eze and Mbeumo and hoping we can sign an elite player. Then we get outbid by those teams or the player wants to, not illogically, go where the wages are higher. I'm not arguing we should accept it, but maybe our hope should be that we'll develop elite players from the young signings and get some useful experience in. I'm actually optimistic. We have young players who are going to improve under Frank and, assuming we can fill the biggest positions needs with useful players, Spurs could surprise a lot of people this season.
