Spurs late summer looked a lot like the one experienced across North London at Arsenal. What the
acquisitions lacked in romance and long term strategic benefit they more than made up for in being
effective near-term band-aids. Spurs needed something new at forward and a deep-lying player to
both win the ball and start the attack.
The dust may have settled, but it would be frightfully remiss to pootle along any further
without casting a beady eye over the various to-ings and fro-ings of the transfer window. Step this
way please...
Welcome to the Lane...

Curiouser and curiouser, we now somehow find ourselves bottom of the table yet with both of last
season's Players of the Year in the ranks.
Another international break has come and gone, time to focus on the bread and butter stuff. If
you watched England labour to three points against Wales at Wembley this week, as a Villa fan, the
line-up may have looked a lot like the image below. It probably stung quite a bit for most of
us.
Aston Villa right-back Alan Hutton has hit out at the way Harry Redknapp treated him during his
three-year stay at White Hart Lane and described the club as a demoralizing place for many
players.
Hutton, who moved to Villa Park this summer, has enjoyed featuring regularly for Alex McLeish's
side but ahead of today's visit to QPR, the Scotland international made it a point to criticize his
former club.
