Liverpool are an example of poor buys, not enough decent youth players and mismanagement more than anything. None of which apply to Spurs.
It's a good deal monetary wise. However I would say you need to improve in the areas you're weak first and there is such a thing as too many quality players. Maybe other decent players won't get the space to break though. Using Arsenal as an example, because I am more familiar with them, Wilshere is a beneficiary of Wenger not buying to improve an already strong midfield. Bale would be a good example of someone who may not have broken though if this deal happened a year/a year and a half ago.
Who will be knocked further down the pecking order to make way for him? Maybe he will be rotated in or will be a first team fixture. I don't know. However I don't think he is really better than their current crop, which is why it puzzles me. It's adding to the squad, and not in areas where they needed it. Maybe they are in talks to sell someone....
