Where: COYS

Ok I though long and hard about divulging what I know, firstly I would like to point out that I am nowhere as in the know as Sir Phantom who is without doubt the guy to listen to when it comes to all matters Spurs.

I have decided to put what I have out there as i feel AVB gets a raw deal from some, he may or not be the answer but one things for sure he is not being given a fair chance.

In the Summer AVB was promised that he would get the replacements for Luka and VDV after they were sold, this did not happen. Although AVB was not anti any of our signings they were not his choices.

They have already discussed January's targets and unlike some of you I feel we will get a few additions, my problem is that yet again I believe they will not be AVB's targets but cheaper alternatives both in terms of transfer fees and especially in terms of wages. One of the reasons we do such late business is when we don't get our targets, Levy and his cohorts bring in last minute cheaper alternatives.

Though the chairman in many ways has done an excellent job he is incredibly adverse to risk, whilst in some cases that is acceptable and good business sense, it in my opinion has put a blockage in the development of our team.

In closing AVB has been left with a weakened squad and has not been able to get his own targets I do not expect that to change, in addition we are already searching for a replacement for Bale who will almost certainly be moving to Spain in the summer.
