Kagawa should be worth double what he is, atleast a 25-30 m player right there. Modric is great, and near irreplaceable for Spurs, a repeat of the Xabi Alonso at Liverpool saga, but I still don't think he's worth over 40 m. Even 40 m is pushing it. 35 m max IMO.
And actually, since Porto rejected 75 m from Anzhi last summer, actually Hulk would cost more than Kagawa and Modric combined.
Let's not forget though, having the best attack in England can't alone make you unstoppable. City know this, they were lucky that United messed up so bad that they won the title. Getting those signings is juicy on paper, but I bet Hulk will take some time to get used to the Prem coming from Portugal, even though he is a Brazilian regular and both fast and strong. Same with Hazard, though he isn't that strong.
Besides, we have a chance at the best midfield in England too, with M'Vila, Wilshere and Kagawa and with the likes of a rejuvenated Rosicky, Song and Arteta available too. Maybe the season after once they settle.
I wouldn't say Chelsea winning is the worst thing that could happen to Arsenal, it'll just mean more competition. In the end a lot will depend on how well our youth develops and whether Chelsea's manager situation is solved.
However, Chelsea winning is the worst thing that could happen to Spurs, and pretty bad for football that 10 men behind the ball are kings of Europe. Still, as long as Liverpool don't sign anyone good, and continue with English players and players from smaller leagues, Spurs will finish ahead of them and Newcastle. And Everton too, as you do show that you want to spend on the market, and spend well, so the quality will come in and soon enough you'll have new heroes.
Spurs aren't going to finish lower than 5th or 6th IMO. It's not good in any sense, but not the worst thing that could happen.
