It's fair to say Tottenham haven't had the best summer break.
They've not made a single big signing during the transfer window and are running out of time to do so before deadline day.
With the club kicking off their new domestic campaign on Sunday, they'll have to settle for using the same team as last season against Newcastle United.

Their fellow title challengers have been strengthening and Spurs are at risk of falling behind.
Manchester United are expected to push for glory come May and have already spent £75 million on Romelu Lukaku and have also landed Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof.
Champions Chelsea, the only team that finished higher than Mauricio Pochettino's men last season, have also been buying big.
Alvaro Morata has moved to Stamford Bridge from Real Madrid and he's been joined by Tiemoue Bakayoko and Antonio Rudiger.
It's been a far quieter summer at White Hart Lane. If falling behind their rivals wasn't enough, things could be about to get worse for Tottenham.
They've already sold Kyle Walker to rivals Manchester City and could be about to lose Danny Rose.
An interview published yesterday, the defender revealed that he's unhappy with the amount of money he's being paid at Spurs and also made clear his desire to win trophies.
His revelation could cause a serious revolution in the dressing room if his teammates agree.
Following the 27-year-old comments, ex-Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas has responded, claiming something needs to be done to ensure the club hold onto their best players.
"I think the one thing that will always hold them back is that wage structure," he told Goal. "Until they break that wage structure they will never be a super-club."
Tottenham currently cap every player's wage at £100,000 but the BT Sport pundit has suggested that players like Harry Kane could pick up over double that at other clubs.
"Manchester City will pay £200,000-a-week, Manchester United will pay £200,000 to £250,000-a-week to their players.
"Right now, Harry Kane is one year away from being worth that, if already not being worth that. He could probably go to Man United and collect £230,000 or £250,000-a-week already and quite easily."
With that in mind, Jenas hopes that his old team will soon break their wage structure and reward the best players in their squad with new deals.
"Are Spurs going to break their wage structure? Maybe for one or two and I hope they do. As a football club, you invest that money in your best players."
It's a warning that should be taken seriously by the Tottenham hierarchy.
If they don't start paying their players a competitive wage, there's no doubt most will choose to move on in the next few years.
