We are better than last season, insists Spurs ace

SPURS midfielder Jermaine Jenas is convinced the team is stronger than last season, despite having made their worst start to a league season for 96 years.

Tottenham lie bottom of the Premier League with just two points to their name from their opening seven games after losing star strikers Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov during the summer.

The club spent over £80million on new talent but the likes of Luka Modric, Giovani Dos Santos, David Bentley, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Heurelho Gomes have struggled to adapt.

However, England international Jenas insists the team is still in a better position than last year, as they have players on their books who are willing to fight for the Tottenham cause.

"I feel that as a squad, with the unity and togetherness that we're showing, we're a stronger team," he told the Tottenham Journal.

"Yes, we've had a couple of players, who were big players for us, leave. But that's something that we have to handle as a team.

"And what we do have now is a bunch of players who want to play for Tottenham Hotspur, and who want to do their best for Tottenham and get the club into a place where we know we should be - given the quality that we know we have in the team."
