Ex-Spurs midfielder says the club ‘are signing players that no one else wants’

Jamie O’Hara is clearly not a fan of the players that Tottenham have signed over recent transfer windows, insisting that the club are settling for players that no other top club wants.

Spurs are coming under fire this week

The knives are well truly out following Tottenham’s 1-0 loss against Arsenal on Sunday, which was the club’s third straight North London Derby defeat at home and their second loss in four matches so far this season.

There has been plenty of discussion regarding what is going wrong at Spurs, with some pundits suggesting that the issue at N17 is a lack of quality (talkSPORT)

That is a sentiment O’Hara agrees with, with the pundit insisting that the current Spurs team is nowhere near as good as the Tottenham team that he was part of.

The 37-year-old blasted his former club for signing the likes of Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke, insisting that they were players no one else wanted.

O’Hara says Spurs are fishing in the wrong ponds

He told Grosvenor Sport: “The Spurs side that I played in would wipe the floor with the current team. I’d rather have the likes of Robbie Keane, Tom Huddlestone, Aaron Lennon, Dimitar Berbatov, Peter Crouch, and Jermain Defoe over this current side.

“They wanted to get the ball and make things happen. Aaron Lennon would always want the ball and try to beat his man, Johnson looks like he never wants it! If Robbie Keane touched the ball as little as Solanke does, he’d be knocking people out in the dressing room.

“They were top players that everyone wanted when Spurs signed them, even if some did come from the Championship. Now they’re signing players that no one else wants. No one wanted Johnson in January, and no one wanted Solanke in the summer.

“No one wants these players but Spurs are signing them. Everyone jumps on the fact that they’re young and hungry, but has anyone actually considered whether they’re even good enough to play for Tottenham?”

Spurs Web Opinion

I do not think it is fair on the one hand to demand that the club back Ange and then turn around and criticise the club for spending big on Johnson and Solanke when Ange has made it clear that he wanted those signings.
