Graham Roberts remains defensive of Tottenham’s transfer strategy.
Graham Roberts remains steadfast in backing Tottenham Hotspur’s approach to the transfer window.
Spurs are the only Premier League team not to sign a single player this summer, but after defeating PSG in pre-season 4-2 at the weekend, it is clear there is no urgent need in a particular area.
Former Tottenham captain Graham Roberts talks to the media
Tottenham’s approach has been criticised in the media and even by some of their own fans, and Jim White’s Talksport show on Monday morning questioned whether they were being over complacent.
Roberts hit back at co-host Matt Scott, who supports Arsenal, essentially asking him to mind his own business.
Arsenal have spent big this summer on Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon, and signed left-back Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer.
It’s unlikely Spurs get to the end of the summer without making any signings, but the Lilywhites may be shopping for squad players rather than first team stars.
Roberts went on give his backing to a contentious opinion that none of Manchester United, Everton or Arsenal’s signings would get into Tottenham’s first choice XI.
Tottenham may be able to get by without spending big this summer, their additions last summer contributed little towards their success last season.
But if they do splash out and nab a bargain, it will make their task a lot easier for the upcoming campaign.
