While some may suggest that the premiership's top four are the only consistent league finishers, Tottenham Hotspur have finished fifth for the second season running. Their football has even been one of the best of the season, with their eventful draws and high scoring wins. It doesn't take a genius to recognize that Spurs are the most likeliest team to break into the top four.

Fans are optimistic as usual, however, the board itself is showing the same optimism by providing Martin Jol with an above average transfer kit. An early summer signing is just another justification of the board's real aim. The young Welsh starlet being heavily likened with a move to Manchester United joined Spurs instead. Numerous players being continuously linked with Spurs, gives the fans something to talk about and look forward to.

Jol, Commoli and their footballing connections, can play a big role in convincing top players to join Spurs. Jol has already been described as a father figure by out of form Chelsea defender K.Bouhlarouz. Commoli himself speaks French as well as Portuguese in addition to fluent English, so negotiations will run smoothly.

Long term contract negotiations with likes of Berbatov hailed as the signing of the season is another positive move by the board. Michael Dawson's hundred percent commitment, arrival of potential summer signing Kaboul and with Ledley King eager to set behind an injury-ravaged season, Spurs surely will improve their astonishing 54 goals conceded.

Why can't Spurs break into top four next season based on the following scenario:

G.Bale settles at Spurs and adapts to life in the Premiership
King doesn't get injured as often as last year
Lennon plays on the right wing with M.G.Pedersen-Nani-Sneijder on the left.
Berbatov and Keane and Defoe continue their total of 60 goals per season.

With the addition of a play-maker such as Van der Vaart or Abdul Kader Keita, Spurs can maybe even go for the title. Let's not get carried away however, let's hope Spurs get at least silverware and European place next season.
