No, it's not a great transfer policy to bring in 3 players near the end of transfer window, the premier league season starts next week and those lads if we succeed in bringing them in haven't had a chance to have a preseason with us or get settled in.
"If we wait until May and sell before signing, it's so difficult to bring in players that can help. This season is a very good example. We signed good players but it was so late, with no preseason and then they have to play.
"You need six or seven months for the players to adapt themselves to the team, the dynamics, everything. And that is always against us. We were talking about how important it is to identify our targets and on 3 July, when we start preseason, have them here. If not, it's so difficult for them to help the team. And during the season, you're going to pay."
Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that stuttering Tottenham are paying the price for leaving their transfer business late.
