Transfer activity at Spurs has been literally zero since the departure of the unpopular Damien Commolly, and it hasn't escaped my notice how busy Liverpool have been this summer.
I'm not convinced Levy is well equipped, well connected or experienced enough to handle our transfer dealings. IF the story of the Modric "gentleman's agreement" is true then it could be seen as either a dirty trick by our Chairman or naivety on the part of Luka. Either way, is this how players contracts should be handled?
It seems his most recent meeting with the want-away Croat went down like a s**t sandwich.
More importantly, no major singings this summer. Harry has clearly stated that Levy deals with all transfer negotiations and so far, has categorically failed to land us anyone of real note, whether young, old, world class or a future prospect.
I have a horrid feeling come September 1st we will be faced with the same feeling of deep disappointment as we felt last February 1st and wonder what the hell our Chairman has been playing at all summer.
Maybe if he forgot about concentrating his energies on an investigation into a stadium no-one wants and thought about strengthening our team, we might have a fighting chance. Problem is, we don't have the buying power anymore and Levy clearly doesn't have the gift to persuade players to come to the Lane.
So it begs the question, do we need a Director of Football to work under Harry's instructions and directives to get players in? I simply don't have faith in Levy to do that job on his own and I think come the end of the transfer wiondow, I'll be proved right
P.S. The acquisition of Rafael Van der Vaart doesn't count as Real called him to offer the Dutchman to us at a cut price so that one was sheer luck!
