‘Over to you Jose’ – Some Spurs fans lavish praise on Daniel Levy

Tottenham Hotspur already had a pretty impressive transfer window prior to yesterday, with six new additions being brought in before the European transfer window closed.

All six players helped address key areas of weaknesses in the squad, with Jose Mourinho even labelling Daniel Levy “a genius” for some of the deals he pulled off (Football.London).

Central defence was arguably the only area of the pitch Spurs were a little short in and the North Londoners seem to have addressed that problem with the deadline day acquisition of Joe Rodon from Swansea City.

The 22-year-old is rated by many as one of the best prospects in the Championship and has already become a regular for the Welsh national side.

Reports indicate that Spurs have agreed on a deal for the centre-back worth £11 million plus add-ons (BBC Wales’ Gareth Vincent), which certainly seems like a massive bargain based on the apoplectic reaction from some Swansea fans.

Levy has often been on the receiving end of plenty of criticism from the Tottenham fan base but there was nothing but praise for 58-year-old on social media after Spurs secured Rodon, with many admitting that they were wrong to question the Tottenham chairman’s ambition

What some Spurs fans are refusing to contemplate is the possibility that it was Pochettino who was very picky with his transfer targets rather than Levy refusing to back him. Levy backed the likes of Martin Jol, Juande Ramos, Harry Redknapp, Andre Villas-Boas in the transfer market and seems to be doing the same for Mourinho.

It is not like we have spent particularly big this summer either. As The Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick suggested recently, it just might be the case that Pochettino was a hard man to please in the transfer window, while Mourinho is more open to taking on board the scouting department’s recommendations.
