Lilywhite fans here in the Tavern are continuously finding themselves developing a slightly worried approach to proceedings, with the January transfer window looking like following a familiar trend.
Spurs have been nothing short of sublime so far this season, with it all becoming apparent as to what the Mauricio Pochettino legacy holds for the potential progress of the North London club.
Preparing for the future is something that every big club aims to do. Indeed, for any Premier League side, they’re gifted with a financial and stature based ploy to draw in any talented lower league players who are willing to do anything to make it in the big time.
Having topped their Champions League group, and beaten defending champions Real Madrid in the process, they could be well on their way to a European triumph, right?
With Spurs utilizing their pedigree with a swoop back in 2015 for the services of their newly found star man Dele Alli, after they snatched the highly-rated midfielder from the clutches of Milton Keynes Dons for £5 million, they proved they know what they’re doing in the market.
However, for many teams who don’t necessarily make it to the heights and pay grade of some of the world’s giants, it can be one heck of a struggle to hold on to the young flourishing talent that you’ve begun to harvest, with the scouting ages in the youth set-up becoming lower and lower nowadays.
Surely, a potential problem for Spurs?
The plot thickens for Tottenham, having already succumbed to the vultures of modern day football, with Los Blancos nabbing one of the world’s elite Gareth Bale off the hands of AVB back in 2013. Indeed, due to the lack of European and domestic success pushing the Welshman to chase his dreams elsewhere.
After the successes the side have hosted so far this season, Mauricio Pochettino now finds himself stuck in the whirlwind of attention from the Spanish giants once again, interested this time in duo Harry Kane and Dele Alli, who both have established themselves as the two best players in the squad this season.
The idea of seeing either Kane or Alli depart would surely infuriate the fans, who’d likely fume at Daniel Levy.
Squad depth is becoming an even bigger issue with Kyle Walker having already become hypnotized by the money and opportunity that Manchester City were able to provide him with, much to our north London locals’ collective annoyance.
Our Landlord shares the opinion that this is becoming the inevitable, with one quality season resulting in an immediate attraction from the world’s best, due to the financial power elsewhere on the continent.
Tottenham’s current lower grade status and lack of honours have left them twiddling their thumbs with a lack of offering something unique in comparison to surrounding clubs, which separates them from Europe’s elite.
Spurs fans, thoughts?
