Hmm lets see:

Bad: Nkoudou, Sissoko, Janssen, N'Jie, Fazio, Stambouli, Soldado, Paulinho, Capoue, Chiriches, Chadli, Lamela

Good: Dier, Eriksen, Dele Alli, Alderweireld, Son, Wanyama. I'm going by post-Bale era but you can add Vertonghen and Lloris as well I guess.

More shit players than good players.

I think you are missing the point. Levy does not scout the players. He pays for them. He tries to buy low and sell high which he does quite well.

Well they haven;t in this cse, but I thought that is usually what happens. You tender out a contract and pick one, and the firm who commits to do the work carries the risk.

If the contractor was carrying the risk, the initial quote would have been the £400m higher in the first place just in case.

I'm not missing any point. I'm just saying that Spurs recruitment/scouting is overrated. Sure it's a low risk policy as long as some players turn out great so the duds don't matter much moneywise.

Are you serious? Spurs buying has been as good as anyone's over recent years.

Has it?
He has hardly plucked out players that were unheard of, he was in the right position at the right time to buy most of their key players now, including Toby, Vertonghen, Eriksen and Lloris. Kane and Alli have pretty much fallen into his lap as being as good as they are, their development and performance level is more down to Poch than Levy. Other players in their squad such as Rose, Walker and Dier have all developed under Poch.

Regardless of what 'bargains' he has found, what have they done in the past 10 years? Put the pressure on and thats about it.

Levy might want to buy a few world class players or spend some money on some players with the winning mentality instead of relying on bargains being developed by Poch just so he can sell them again.

What have spuds done with all this money he has made/saved them, fuck all. They have no trophies and were embarrassed when the pressure came on top (see the CL)

Levy seems to do well when he is spending small amounts (minimising the risk massively) but ask him to spend any money and it is a disaster, look at Lamela/Sissoko/Soldado as a few examples.

Maybe at our level yes, but I doubt many teams recruit to win things these days, more likely to stay in the prem or try and break into the top 4. There are only 3 teams I'd say who recruit to win the league and that's us, Chelsea and united. Spurs have never been in that bracket and I doubt ever will be.
