More 'Pay Whatever' Lunacy
A tour of the net yet again sees supporters or blog writers not learning that spending money does not guarantee success.
Levy hater love to claim the purchase of a striker in January a few years ago would have meant UEFA Champions League football, which is of course nonsense. It MAY have helped get Champions League football, it may have resulted a lower league finish. Nobody knows how any signing would have performed and whether they has a positive or negative impact on the team.
Roberto Soldado was the goalscorer we were looking for, he banged in the goals in Spain and we shelled out £26 million to get him, the result, no goals.
How then can blogs claim we are risking Champions League football if we don't sign another expensive striker? What if he is another player just doing Spurs a favour, more interested in his bank balance than Tottenham. What if he is another Mousa Dembele, a player who could be far better than he is but can't be bothered to improve, happy in his comfort zone earning a nice living.
It is quite incredible that some people still say 'just pay what they are asking' clearly these people could never run a successful business. Forget what a player is actually worth just throw your money around like paper, that's the best policy, is that what these people do when they go shopping with their own money in the supermarket? No it certainly isn't but it quite alright if it's someone elese's money.
In many how games Tottenham have not created chances so how is this new super striker that we must pay 'whatever' for going to score with from no chances? A striker is not the be all and end all, you have to have the team around the striker for him to score. There is absolutely no guarantee that yet another striker, from yet another league, with no Premier League experience, will score goals, not score them instantly. Yet that is an assumption made as if it is a given fact.
It is far more important to buy the right player for the style of play and one with the right mental attitude than simply paying whatever a club asks and playing high risk poker with Tottenham's future. Yes we need a striker, when we can get one out the door but we need the right striker at the right price, in other words what he is worth, not be held to ransom and tell every other club in the world they can raise the cost of their players when we want to buy.
Thankfully Tottenham have a little more common sense and business sense in the transfer market.
