Arry knew how to build a team and a squad and since he left we have adopted a scattergun approach to hiring players which does not work. We have bought players not thinking about how they may fit not only into the system but also how they will work with the current blend in the squad.
A pity you did not post this on the Amnesty thread !So I'm currently riding a usual wave of Spurs pre-season optimism. I feel we made the right choice in manager,he's young plays football the right way and will get the best out of our squad.
But then I also feel pretty pissed off that our squad is in my opinion such a mess. Since we sacked arry we've sold our best 3 players:VDV,Bale,Modric, we have also lost or ousted one way or another very influential parts of a team that got us to a CL quarter final:King,Corluka,Parker,Defoe...we also broke up a strong spine of experienced internationals and British players who know the PL.

We have since then bought some class players who we still have and can build a good team around: Lloris,Vergthongen,Lamela?,Eriksen etc.
We need to get rid of some of these foreigners who don't have the right attitude and ability e.g. Pauliniho,Ade? Etc and bring in a few more with prem experience Davies is a good start and ones in positions we need to strengthen who will balance the squad.
It's not a disaster but as good a coach as Poch might be he has a bit of a mess of a squad on his hands. Player recruitment is so so key at a club and this director of football shit means we take 1 step forward 4 back time after time.
If Poch is the right man and starts getting performances and results I say get rid of Baldino and bloody leave the manager to it.
COYS,

So much wrong with this, where to begin?
1.) You say that Harry knew how to build a team and mention the important players, however Harry didn't sign Bale, Modric, King, or Corluka. VDV I doubt was actually a target for him and was more of a last minute "scattergun" signing that happened to work out. Defoe was never that good for us and Parker was decent for a season.
2.) Parker didn't get us to a CL quarterfinal, he was signed the season afterward.
3.) Harry made many very poor signings too.
