In my opinion, if we end up signing nobody because that is well analysed decision post evaluating the squad and what has been seen in training, I will be absolutely ok with that. But if the season ends up being disappointing, then I will blame the management and coaching for that decision, because they took a risk which didnt pay off. I understand both the points of view in the argument that is happening among Spurs fans. However, if we do end up signing someone late in the window (as expected), that's something that has always been a problem for Spurs.
Go back to several seasons in the past, where we started the seasons bad, made a few signings and eventually started picking up form after dropping points in the beginning few games. Happened with Sissoko, Dembele, Stambouli, Dempsey etc who were late signings. My point is, after a decision is made to sign players, it better be done early in the summer to help with the team start prepared. We finished 5th on 2-3 seasons, missing fourth by a point to Woolwich when we signed Dembele and Dempsey late in the summer and had already dropped 6 points through 3 draws in the first few games that we should be winning. We missed out on Moutinho because we moved on deadline day. The season before, we signed Adebayor late in the summer with Parker, after getting trounced in the first two games against city and united. We finished fourth and lost the CL spot due to Chelsea. One point from the first two games would have been a huge difference. And who can remember the season we signed Pav so late and we know how that season started. Same mistake again and again and again.
If you think Spurs have absolutely nobody realistic available that can be signed to improve the squad, you are delusional. If you say that signing a player will stop an academy prospect getting through, boo hoo, welcome to the real world.
If we end up making signings this summer, it is again disappointing that the club has left the business to the very end despite it costing the club again and again in the past. And another thing that is missing is, despite the squad doing really really well, an exciting summer signing elevates the mood in the club. The fans are excited.
Imagine we sign Kovacic, how many fans would lose their shit at the excitement of seeing an established star come to Spurs? And while I love the fact that we are giving youngsters an opportunity, it should not be at the risk of never signing good players who can make the team better this season! We have hit the jackpot with Poch, imagine we signed someone other than Sissoko earlier last season who had a preseason with Spurs. What difference that might have made!
