Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas believes their summer spending spree proves their ambition.
AVB refuses to accept Gareth Bale's imminent sale to Real Madrid.
And he says: "On the players that we have signed, it shows we have tremendous ambition.
"We look forward to being stronger than the year before, and I firmly believe we can be stronger. What we are doing at the moment shows our intentions.
"We are not only trimming the squad but adding tremendous talent. I think we can become very, very strong in relation to what we were last season.
"It depends on the deals we are able to complete before the market finishes - and it hasn't finished yet for us."
