Tottenham coach ‘hits’ at Todd Boehly and Pochettino ahead of derby clash ‘
Tottenham boss, Ange Potescoglu has criticised Chelsea’s spending in recent months.
The Blues, under Todd Boehly’s ownership, have spent in excess of £1bn to bring in new players in the last three transfer windows.
The strategy hasn’t exactly paid off yet, as Chelsea continue to be rooted in mid-table, and ahead of his side’s meeting with the Blues on Monday, Potescoglu has now spoken up against the system.
Asked if he would like to see Chelsea’s type of spending replicated at Spurs, Postecoglou replied: “Not necessarily, I’ve always said I’ve never felt it is about just spending money.
“That’s been proved time and time again. Yeah, look if you get it all right then you’ve got a pretty strong case but there’s always a limit to every team. You can’t have 24 world class players.
“That will never work. It doesn’t work, its been proven. Its about having a squad that’s balanced, guys that are committed to a cause, guys that maybe aren’t going to play every game but every time they play they are going to make a huge impact for you because they buy into what you are trying to build. Just spending endless money to get the best players has been proven time and time again is not the answer.
“The answer is to get the right chemistry in your team, in your squad, to have 24 players committed to one cause. I don’t think you can do that If you just get the 24 best players in the world. That’s a headache I definitely don’t want.”
