If Tottenham Hotspur are to make a move, and by that I mean a real move, then the time is now. And it all starts with a trip to AFC Bournemouth on Thursday. Spurs thrashed Manchester City (a club that is uncharacteristically in a slide right now) last month, meaning a door has been opened.
Manchester United is down, while we’re not really sold on Arsenal or Chelsea yet either.

This is really the right year for Spurs to make a statement of intent, and move up the ladder. Ange Postecoglu said they would win a trophy this season, so it’s time to back up the big talk.
