Why 'eye-watering' spending doesn't concern supporters

[BBC] [Getty Images] A new approach is something we've been promised many times before at Tottenham. A season will have stumbled to a close and the messages from above have been about what we're going to do differently, before spending the entire summer doing exactly the same thing we've done before. But this summer we've reinvented ourselves. July has barely begun, children are still in their classrooms and Spurs have crushed the transfer market. Tottenham have woken up and realised that, financially, they've got some of the biggest muscles in world football. Spurs have stomped all over the Premier League's middle class and even bloodied the nose of Manchester United . They've decided who they want and paid the money to get it done. Newcastle , Brighton , Bournemouth and Aston Villa have had to sit there and just take the money, or dream of having this kind of clout. Of course, with great spending comes great responsibility. Many of us still suffer nightmares from the summer of 2013 when Spurs gambled all the Gareth Bale money on 'The Magnificent Seven', but this feels different. The transfers have a clear purpose and are addressing obvious needs. For the first time in my lifetime, we're actually backing the manager. We've listened to how he wants us to play and bought players to help him shape that vision. The biggest change this summer has been the overhaul of our central midfield. Although packed with ambition and energy, it lacked forward passing and inventiveness. Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, two of the best midfielders outside last season's top three, are now ours. The amount of money we've spent, although eye-watering, is not a concern for us fans. Tottenham are reaping the rewards of sound financial planning and multiple lucrative revenue streams. Many mocked our F1 go-kart track and our summers of sold-out concerts, but it was all part of the plan. This is the window where we show everyone what we've been working towards all these years.
