We have only two successful relatively decent periods during the long Levy era.

One was during DoF days of Frank Arnesen (Modric and Berbatov I think? Maybe Bale too?)

The other was when Redknapp dictated the targets to Levy. Levy completed ignored his requests for more fire power up front when we were in third place.

As I say, unverified media reports.

I think you will be ok, it's just that last season, you bought too much players in one window, and they all couldn't gel in one season.
With Poch at the helm, and the players now settled into the team and premier league, he might get the best out of Ade,Soldado and Kane and this debate will be void.

Ah so levy/Baldini WAS going for striker but he decided to go to a bigger club that was offering more?

We should not be hoping for Soldado to come good and praying that Kane makes the step up.

We have a quality striker. Levy has had the money for years to bring one in. I cannot believe so many people excuse his strategic failures on things like this.

Haych, you may well be right. But that doesn't mean its his natural position. And how many did he score?

I don't understand the idea that you can insist on a quality striker, yet not suggest who that should be.

You had your fingers burnt on buying players outside the Premier League, so either you:

a) Would buy someone from the PL, which should mean you can make some suggestions, or

b) If you're proposing buying abroad, are you not at risk of another Soldado?

I think it's easy to moan but not so easy to do something about it.

When you don't have unlimited funds and your not in the CL, sometimes you have to wait, hope, pray that certain players come good, you have to give them time to develop.

"Ahh, so such is the determination to defend Daniel Levy and prove I'm wrong on some his failures, people are now going to pretend Baldini has done a good job! Completely antithetical to reality.

Baldini is Levy's man. Does he get 300 k or so a year merely to tell Levy he is right all the time? Maybe so."

---------------

Not entirely sure I said that, also not entirely sure I speak 'for the people'.

Just stated that I'm more inclined to have faith in Baldini than a WUM on a message board.

Haven't they also burnt themselves with "PL-experienced" players though?

On the one hand RC strikes me as an old whinging moaner, resident of the Paxton Road stand where the moaning drowns out the singing.

But then on the other hand his opinions are child-like..."why didnt we spend millions and millions on....blah blah" and have a lack of depth and understanding that typify the modern fan who thinks life is a computer game.

It's clear that we have 3 strikers, 2 high paid and 1 youth player. Kane has deserved a chance and as third choice with a system where we tend to have 1 striker, he has and will get his chance.

A new striker would have to replace one of the bigger names and with no takers for these players we are hardly going to spend £20m upwards and untold wages leaving one of the others warming the bench at huge expense. Similarly there is little point spending £12m or thereabouts on an average player who is no better than we have already.

Spurs are not a bottomless pit of money and all transfers have to fit into the overall budget of spending & wages, and there are other key financial priorities to be achieved....personally cannot believe this needs explaining to anyone!

Wow. Didn't realise he'd scored that many. Still, if he's an injured cokehead....

Not saying buying from the PL is full proof - merely that he seems not be able to suggest any decent, affordable strikers who would want to sign for Spurs.

So why does he think Levy and Baldini can magic one up?

"if you want a say in things then buy some shares in the club. simple."

THFC is a Ltd company, not a PLC.
Next you will be telling him to wave his "Sugar out" banners outside WHL.
