Andre Villas-Boas: Tottenham wont win Premier League title this season
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas says Tottenham are unlikely to win the Premier League title this season despite spending £100million on new players.
Villas-Boas was allowed to splash the cash during the summer transfer window following the sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid, and he brought in seven new faces.
But despite bagging the likes of Roberto Soldado, Nacer Chadli, Erik Lamela, Etienne Capoue, Vlad Chiriches, Christian Eriksen and Paulinho, the Spurs manager has ruled out title talk.
The circumstances are difficult at the moment, said Villas-Boas when asked about a title push.
The investment that we have made raises expectations in people but what we have to do is create a team that bonds together.
That takes time and we see that our opponents are one step ahead as they have players who have been together for many years; thats the advantage for them.
Villas-Boas might not be backing his side to win trophies right now, but he went on to add that in the future, their current crop could deliver success.
I think we have invested a lot in young players that have real potential, he added.
Obviously we will have to work with them to make sure they develop into the world stars that we think they can become.
