Former Spurs and England manager Terry Venables is backing Spurs as a candidate to break into the top four of the Premiership this season.

Venables told The Sun: “It would be great for football if someone could gatecrash the big four this season. And if anyone is going to do that, it has to be Spurs.

“Manager Ramos has made some brilliant signings and shown real imagination and forward thinking.

“He has brought in flair players like Luka Modric and Giovani Dos Santos, who will perform in the Tottenham tradition and will also really capture the imagination of the White Hart Lane supporters.”

• El Tel tipping Spurs to finish 5th

Unlike Tim Sherwood, I do have faith in what Terry Venables says, and in today’s Sun newspaper he’s tipping us for 5th position in the Premiership.

He said: “I’ve been very impressed by Tottenham and the way they have gone about their business. The £40million has been spent wisely and Darren Bent reminds me of Gary Lineker in his prime. I’d love the problem of picking between their four strikers. Gareth Bale and Younes Kaboul are top defenders as well.”

I think 5th would be a respectable place to finish, however, we need to improve on previous seasons. I suppose if we finished fifth and had silverware to show for it, then I wouldn’t grumble, however, with the amount of money spent this summer, we’ve got to progress.
