Postecoglou is in trouble...Tottenham's net spending tops EPL 'A whopping 285 billion investments'

Soccer statistics media Transfermark shed light on which players Postecoglou has reinforced since he took over at Tottenham on the 4th (Korea time).
Tottenham's rebuilding clock accelerated with the arrival of Postecoglou. He boldly cleared up players who were not in his plan and recruited a large number of new players. In terms of transfer fee rankings, Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, Mickey van der Penn and Guglielmo Vicario are the players Tottenham brought in last summer.
Tottenham invested a lot of money in the transfer market last summer, with the complete transfers of Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski also taking place at this time. Tottenham are busy again this summer. It marked the start of the transfer window with the signing of big Leeds United prospect Archie Gray.
Surprisingly, since Postecoglou took office, Tottenham has become the most spent team in the English Premier League (EPL). So far, net expenditure alone has reached 190.85 million euros (about 284.5 billion won). Net expenditure refers to the difference between the amount Tottenham spent and the transfer fee earned. If the net expenditure is negative, the spent transfer fee is higher.

Of course, since the summer transfer market in the 2024-2025 season has not yet been completed, some clubs may decide to spend more than Tottenham. This is because Manchester United and Chelsea are expected to reinforce significantly this summer.
Still, what is clear is that Tottenham's will is extraordinary. It can be said that Tottenham spent so much money showing their willingness to succeed under Postecoglou.

But I can't get rid of the feeling that something was missing. He failed to qualify for the European Champions League (UCL) by ranking fifth in the league, and he performed disappointingly in all other cup competitions. More criticism came out because Tottenham was not going to another European match. He also seemed to tactically insist on Plan A at the end of the season.
