At the time of writing (24th January), we are one week from the end of the transfer window.
For this contributor (Spurs) and my friend
Matt (Liverpool) this has hardly been happy hunting time. Spurs are
badly in need of a striker - Defoe looks like he is losing form,
Adebayor is still misfiring at the African cup of nations and our other
striking options (Falque, Obika, Kane) lack premiership experience.
Our main attacking threat seems to come from the
midfield combo of Dempsey, Bale and Lennon and on a day when the Sun
reported that there is in fact two Gareth Bales, it does make me wonder
if this club has something up its sleeve.
We all love a glory signing, no wonder Manchester
United's season has been so good - they're still ecstatic at the signing
of Robin Van Persie. Confidence counts so for so much when it comes to
team spirit and that leads to form; they seem to be present at spurs but perhaps not throughout.
I don't have the statistics to hand, but with the
exception of a 4-0 win over Aston Villa, this feels like a pretty barren
season for spurs in front of goal and if this is not the time to
invest, it is time to get the next generation of strikers training with
the first team squad to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Either that or the club commences its cloning policy and breeds a new Martin Chivers, Jimmy Greaves and/or Clive Allen.
