Tottenham fans wander the streets of North London with blank stares in search of some good news. – This summer, after salvaging their place in the Premier League with a cry of distress, the bosses, after hiring Roberto de Zerbi as the new manager, started to press the buy button fiercely.
There is no question of whether Tottenham have paid too much, 400 million euros in player purchases is just over for a club that has a point and no goals after three rounds.
Completely last and third last!

Fulham and Tottenham have had a tough start to the new Premier League season, which has sparked speculation that the managers could lose their jobs.
Álvaro Arbeloa and Roberto De Zerbi have become early favourites to become the first manager to leave their post in the Premier League this season.
Fulham manager Arbeloa is in trouble after his home defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend, while rumours online suggest that all is not well off the pitch at Craven Cottage.
The west London club are yet to pick up points this season, having previously lost to Chelsea and Sunderland in the Premier League.
Arbeloa joined Fulham in the summer, after a largely miserable spell at Real Madrid. The Spanish giant finished second behind arch-enemy Barcelona, amid discontent in the dressing room that culminated in a quarrel between Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde.
Roberto De Zerbi is under pressure at Tottenham
De Zerbi is undoubtedly on more solid ground, having led Tottenham to survival in the Premier League last season. (17th place)
Spurs spent large sums of money in the transfer window on players such as Sandro Tonali, Savinho and Mateus Fernandes – but the results have not been forthcoming. The weekend’s draw against Nottingham Forest gave them the first point.
Although De Zerbi is unlikely to be sacked, the volatile Italian has a reputation for clashing with board members. Disagreements have previously put an end to his spells at both Brighton and Marseille.
Also pressure on Unai Emery and Michael Carrick
Aston Villa had a tough transfer window and had to let go of several key players. They also have just one point after three games, which puts pressure on Unai Emery. However, the Spaniard is well regarded at Villa Park.
Fulham are still scoreless after the loss to Crystal Palace, and Spurs have only taken one point from their first three games.
Manchester United have one win, one draw and one loss. – Four points out of a possible nine.
