Ok, so this is just a rant which I imagine the majority of fellow Spurs fans are currently thinking.
The new season is edging closer and where are our new signings? Ok, so we have signed Sandro who is a defensive midfieler and we already have Wilson Palacios and Tom Huddlestone who can operate in that role.
Last season everyone at the club worked their socks off to get us where we want to be – the Champions League. I still remember vividly the frenzy in the away end at Eastlands when Peter Crouch nodded in the late goal against Manchester City which cemented our place at Europe’s top table of club football.
So why are we now deciding not to spend on bringing in some proven players with a Champions League pedigree? Are we short of money, or is Daniel Levy just playing it safe and waiting to see if we can navigate our way into the group stage?
Redknapp has hinted that he’s looking mostly at the loan market – but who is available on a loan deal who can do a better job than we’ve already got?
We all know the sort of money City have been spending this summer and there’s no way we can compete with that. Liverpool have a new boss in Roy Hodgson and should be in for a better season – it’s going to be a tough test for us to finish in the top four again, especially with the amount of games we could face.
It would just be nice to go into the season with a proven centre-half to allay the fears over King and Woodgate, and throw in a midfielder and striker too.
