What are the managers saying ahead of Tottenham vs Aston Villa?

Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham: "Of course, Aston Villa have signed a lot of players, they are in the top three or four in the Premier League for how much they have spent, an amazing investment, but always it is not easy.

"Look what happened with Fulham last season and how much they invested. The most important for the coach is to have time to build the team. You invest a lot of money on players, but the most important thing is about making that work together.

"Look at us last season, no one believed in us, we didn't sign or sell players, and the consequence is one of the best seasons in the club, and you never know. That is the most important example, we didn't sign and we got to the Champions League final.

"You never know, it is about creating that dynamic that is positive to try and work together in the best way."

Dean Smith, Aston Villa:

"We're pretty much done, we're happy with the signings we have brought in and happy with the recruitment policy that we adopted.

"It was well documented that we had a Plan A and Plan B going into Wembley and we've been able to go ahead with Plan A now we are a Premier League team.

"With nine players released and six players finishing their loans, it meant that 15 players had to be replaced.

"We've done very well with the recruitment and we're very fortunate to have the owners we have with the money they put forward.

"There is always going to be comparisons with other clubs (Fulham) but we can only concentrate on ourselves."
