Tottenham Hotspur have been enduring a difficult season in the ongoing 2024/25 campaign, and with the winter transfer window ongoing, Daniel Levy has been looking to bring in reinforcements to bolster Ange Postecoglou’s roster at N17. However, while there have been ample links surrounding probable transfers at Hotspur Way, none of them materialised into a move, with most of the rumours reaching no prospects.
It is a frustrating sight for Lilywhites supporters, especially given how Tottenham has only won once in the past six Premier League games, with David Moyes’ Everton being the latest of them to nearly run riot against Ange Postecoglou’s side.
And when you compare the approach with a winning team like Manchester City, who are also enduring a difficult season, they went into the market with intent and got some ceiling-raising players like Abdukodir Khusanov and forward Vitor Reis, while Omar Marmoush is on his way to Etihad.
Wenham expresses frustration with Levy
Ange Postecoglou has suffered from ample injuries and a lack of depth in the roster, with Dominic Solanke being the latest first-team player to get a bed on the sidelines. And John Wenham, owner of the reported Spurs podcast Lilywhites Rose, has urged club chairman Daniel Levy to show more ambition in the market.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, the podcast host doesn’t understand why the Lilywhites cannot replicate Man City’s buying habits in the same way. He said:
“We’ve seen in this window that Manchester City is feeling weak. Therefore, they’ve gone out and signed multiple players by the middle of the window with no problem. Meanwhile, clubs don’t want to deal with Tottenham.
“That is the difference: City goes in and gets transfers done, whereas we make all these nonsense offers that include different clauses, yet fans are still expected to pay big season ticket prices upfront.
“That is why we are where we are, because of how Levy and the club operate. It is time to start acting like one of the richest clubs in world football because City has been able to go and get deals done in a month where transfers are supposedly so hard to do.”

If Levy was waiting for a crisis, Solanke’s injury has to be the wake-up call to start pushing some buttons and trying to get a few deals done. We will see how he acts going into the final ten days of the transfer window, and a lot about ambition will be said based on how Tottenham acts in the market in these days.
