Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has written on Boylesports.com that Tottenham Hotspur should not spend crazy money in the summer transfer window.
Collymore, though, believes that Tottenham need to sign players before Wednesday’s deadline in order to flesh the squad out a little more.
The former Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa striker made the comments following the Premier League game between Tottenham and Liverpool at White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

“I don’t see Alli’s position under threat, the goalkeeper or realistically 90% of the team,” Collymore wrote on Boylesports.com.
“That’s a dangerous game to play with players who can easily drop their intensity by even 5% safe in the knowledge their position is unchallenged, so although I wouldn’t advocate the crazy spending and numbers coming into WHL as happened after the Bale move, I do think Spurs need to flesh the squad out a little more in this window, or it may well be a tired second season for some of these exciting young Spurs players.”

Tottenham have not been too busy in the summer transfer window and have signed just two players so far.
The North London outfit recruited Victor Wanyama from Premier League rivals Southampton back in June.
According to The Guardian, Spurs had to pay the Saints a transfer fee of around £11 million in order to secure the services of the 25-year-old Kenya international defensive midfielder.
Last month, Tottenham signed Netherlands international striker Vincent Janssen from Dutch club AZ.
According to The Daily Mail, Spurs paid AZ a transfer fee of £18.5m for Janssen.
Tottenham will take on Stoke City away from home at bet365 Stadium in the Premier League after the international break.
