that’s because our scouting network is horrendous. That doesn’t mean not spending isn’t the way forward. Every other top club spends to succeed and win trophies doing it. Spurs don’t win trophies, it’s as simple as that dude. Assfixx can agree with you all he likes, but you guys are definitely in the minority. Spurs fans are quiet rightly fed up of the way the club operates. They spend for profit and don’t spend to win trophies unlike Chelsea etc
Poch wanted control over transfers - that's why Mitchell left.
Sadly he got control and as he had little experience of that field he screwed up - just no judgement over players. Look up Dani Osvaldo who Poch bought at Espanyol - but had to get rid of for disciplinary reasons.
Then when Poch goes to Southampton he buys Osvaldo again, this time from Roma. Within months big punch up at the training ground and club has no option other than to sack Osvaldo (so losing the transfer fee they paid, and no hope of a fee coming in).
That's why our recruitment since Poch got control over that has been so poor. Simply bad footballing/personality judgement..........hence buying Ndombele but not knowing how to get him to play etc
