Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup is full of praise for the quality of Tottenham's current squad.
Laudrup believes Tottenham still possess a "very, very good squad" but will have to play differently this season with the expected absence of their "superstar" Gareth Bale.
He said: "Tottenham already had a very good squad last season but they have bought some very good quality players, (Roberto) Soldado, Paulinho. They will, as far as I read, lose their top player so they may be a different team this season.
"They will have a very, very strong squad but a squad without a superstar. A lot of very good players but without one superstar as you have to admit Gareth Bale last season was an absolute superstar of Tottenham."
