Joe Cole criticizes Spurs' transfer spending amid performance issues

Joe Cole, former Chelsea and England midfielder, has questioned Tottenham Hotspur's transfer activity after spending approximately £302 million this summer. Key signings include Mateus Fernandes for £85 million and Savio for £75 million, both of whom have struggled to make an impact. During a recent match, Spurs faced mounting pressure and anxiety, leading to subpar performance. Roberto de Zerbi defended the club's spending and emphasized the challenges of the transfer market, citing financial fair play regulations and unsold players as factors. Spurs are currently grappling with consistency as they aim to avoid relegation.
