What if every verdict on Tottenham is being passed on a team that no longer exists? Aaron of The Professor says the squad has turned over so completely, ten in and ten out, that judging this side on last season's evidence is analysing a section of the ground after everyone in it has changed seats.
Jim and Aaron work through the reset: why the new signings didn't inherit two years of trauma, the Man United comparison that shows how few survivors remain, why five games is no sample at all, and the case that Tottenham's goals are far closer than the mood suggests. Then the big one — the "just buy a goalscorer" myth, and the research showing how rarely anyone repeats a top-ten scoring season (Spurs have already run that experiment once).
Aaron also puts a prediction on the record about where Tottenham's goals come from by the end of the season — and once you hear the reasoning, the January striker debate sounds very different.
