OPINION
It does not seem that a single Tottenham fans is convinced that Daniel Levy will give Mauricio Pochettino the funds to improve his squad in the summer transfer window, but those supporters may be proven wrong by the Spurs chairman at the end of this season. Levy has revealed in a meeting with the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust that the opening of the new stadium will not have any impact on the transfer budget for this summer. Levy was quoted in the minutes of the meeting as saying: “The net spend on players would not be affected.” However that has raised alarm bells among some Spurs fans, because the club has not signed a single player in each of the last two transfer windows. Pochettino’s squad has shrunk over the last year and results have shown a bit of a dip as well. So if Spurs’ transfer budget is not going to be affected by the new stadium, that means that the transfer budget is still non-existent, right? That’s surely not the case though. Spurs must be sitting on some funds to improve their squad, their main issue is that they are super-selective over who they buy. If it’s not the right player, they don’t sign him. Once players leave in the summer, they will spend big. Fans will be praying that’s the case, anyway.
