Angelos Postecoglou’s comments were made in the context of Tottenham’s defense situation, specifically regarding the need for new center-backs and the potential pathway being blocked for young players.
Angelos Postecoglou said “No, and I don’t think we’re in the same position. We’ve got Ben Davies as well, obviously, who can play at centre back or at left back. But again, I mean, that’s the discipline of it. Yeah, we can go out and sign another centre back, but if the right player’s not there, I’m not going to do it. It’s as simple as that. I’m not, I never have, I never will. For me, it’s about getting the right people in and there wasn’t an opportunity for us to bring in someone who I thought was going to add to our group, so we don’t do it. We’ve got Ashley Phillips, we’ve got young Luka Vuskovic available next year. Two young centre-backs. I don’t want to block their pathway by doing something now. It might look from the outside, like we’ve got another player, but if that player is not going to be suitable to what we’re doing and not going fit in, why would I bring them in and potentially block the path for somebody else.”
Angelos Postecoglou’s comments were made regarding the potential addition of another winger or forward to Tottenham’s squad, highlighting the need for strategic options without compromising quality in attack.
Angelos Postecoglou said “The Australian’s way relies on changes around the hour mark in key positions, particularly in attack, and he needs the options to do that without dropping the quality otherwise he won’t do it.”
