Ange Postecoglou has spoken about the importance of adding signings to the squad in January and explains why Tottenham’s situation is not as bleak as it may appear.
Almost halfway into the season, Tottenham are languishing in the bottom half of the table, a situation that many Spurs fans will have not experienced since the early 2000s.
Under normal circumstances, it is fair to say that the manager would have long been gone by now, but these are clearly not normal circumstances.
Spurs are dealing with a major injury crisis, which has exposed the lack of depth in their squad, but the January window offers the club an opportunity to rectify their mistakes.
Postecoglou has now admitted that the squad needs more bodies to help them recover from their current predicament and confirmed that plans are in place to do just that.
However, the Spurs head coach insists that the situation is not as bad as it may seem and remains confident that the club can turn around their season.
When asked about potential incomings in January, Postecoglou told Football.London: “We need some help, the players need some help more importantly. The club is working hard to make it happen. It is an important one. If we add what we need to add and fits what trying to do… our league position not great but it’s super tight and we’re not that far off.
“In semi-final of Carabao Cup and still in a great position in Europe and FA Cup. Still everything to play for to make it a season where we can have success. Need help and club working very hard to make that happen.”
While the injury situation has not helped Spurs’ cause, that alone is not the reason for the club’s struggles this season.
Several key attacking players have failed to hit the expected heights, and one can argue that the side is now in need of at least two big-name signings who would improve the starting eleven.
However, signing those kinds of players is never easy in January and Spurs have historically not tended to make big moves mid-season.
