Four reasons why Tottenham will be stronger this season without spending mega money

3. Emmanuel AdebayorTottenham only got half a season out of the African forward last term, after Villas-Boas had him training with the reserves for a large chunk of 2013.

Nevertheless, the 30-year-old managed to top Tottenham’s scoring charts with 13 goals in 23 games.

Imagine how many times he would have hit the net had he featured in all of the club’s 54 league and cup matches.

With a decent pre-season under his belt, Adebayor should be fitter than he was last season.

If Pochettino manages him well, Adebayor has the potential to be one of the best players in England.
