			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://whitehartpain.com/we-might-need-to-sign-some-more-rubbish" title="We might need to sign some more rubbish"></a><p>Downing, Bellamy, Parker. These names fill me with dread but at the same time they could be a necessary evil. Harry&#8217;s honeymoon period is well and truly over. Our strikers are shit. Our midfield is shit. Our defence is OK.</p>
<p>The build the team round a little Croatian tactic was a good idea, but doesn&#8217;t work if your strikers aren&#8217;t intelligent enough to play with him. I know he&#8217;s small but I&#8217;d quite like to see two up top with Modric in the middle alongside Huddlestone. We would be lightweight but it doesn&#8217;t matter because at the moment, we aren&#8217;t making any chances whatsoever.</p>
<p>Harry&#8217;s forte is signing decent players on the cheap, how refreshing that would be to see as a Spurs fan. Bentley, Pavlyuchenko, Bent, Boateng are just the tip of the iceberg. It makes me physically sick to think how much these players cost, especially when you think of the decent players that have walked out the door.</p>
<p>Our dilemma now is do we sign some equally average players in the hope that they keep us in the league? I personally still feel Harry can get enough out of what he already has to keep us up but we can&#8217;t afford to take any chances. Seeing Stuart Downing arrive for £14m+ would likely give me a stroke but it could all be worth it as long as we aren&#8217;t playing in the Championship next season.</p>
