Without doubt, the biggest development of this transfer window was Gareth Bale’s world record move; he will earn the tiny sum of 34 euros a day at Real Madrid. Bale’s transfer fee funded a window long shopping spree for Spurs manager Andre Villas Boas who was seemed a metaphorical kid in a candy store, adding no less than seven high quality recruits to his already tremendous Tottenham side. Breaking the transfer record not once but twice, signing Roberto Soldado, and then Erik Lamela, Villas Boas did not mess around with his transfer kitty, spending over 100 million pounds in strengthening all over the park. There is now a great deal of depth in a Tottenham side which boasts a ludicrous number of world class players, they are certainly one to watch, a real title challenge is in the offing.

Grade: A+

Villas Boas has worked miracles this window, the sale of one world class player has brought in seven high quality signings, well done AVB.
