Tottenham’s head coach, Ange Postcoglou, warned the club they “play with fire” without making new signatures in the transfer window.
The postcoglou team was decimated by injuries this winter and the Australian could be without 11 players for the visit of Leicester on Sunday in the Premier League.
He called on several occasions to “help” for the team at the January window, but recognized before the mid -week victory over Hoffenheim in the Europa League that the Spurs may not add to the team Before the deadline of February 3, after the addition of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky at the beginning of the month.
For Postcoglou, there are obvious traps not to make signatures this month and Friday, he admitted that his players would find it difficult to “maintain performance” without help, warned of the prospect of new injuries and declared That it was to be “cautious” with the teenagers Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Mikey Moore, who have all become key members of an exhausted team.

Pushed for more details on the reasons why the club was not yet signed a senior field player after 24 days from the window, the 59 -year -old said: “There is not much more depth that I can give.
“I must always manage this team and prepare them. We came back [from Germany] At 2 a.m. last night. I am not there to try to find opportunities for the club, this is not my role at the moment. There is no time to do so.
“I have daily communication with Johan [Lange, technical director] In particular and he tries everything he can to get the help we need.
“I don’t think I declare something other than the evidence and for me to come here and say that something else would be dishonest: this game group needs help.
“There is no doubt about it. We play somehow with the fire does not bring anyone. But the back of the medal is that the club tries to change this situation.”
When asked if the club had money to spend this month trying to get help for the players and I will let them do their job. “”
PostCoglou believes that the UEFA European Calendar, which included the January games for the first time, was a factor in a slow month and estimates that the market could resume after the end of the initial phases of the League next week.
“I really think it was a factor because if you look at the way in which European competitions are stacked, it would be done and sprinkled now and people know if they are in the Champions League or if they are in the League Europa and adjusted the views, “he said.
“Maybe after last night and I looked closely at the three pages [Europa League] Table, fortunately, we are on the first, so I don’t need to go beyond, but if there are important clubs in there and out of competition, it can make things a little more fast. “”
Postcoglou could be without 11 injured players against the Foxes, with Djed Spence, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr all doubts, but hopes that the main central defenders Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven could come back in time for the double-header crunch against The double-header against the Double-Header Liverpool and Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, respectively, in early February.
“Long terms are the only two, Micky and Romero, who have a chance this week,” he said. “But we still have a kind of 12 days or something. Part of this process is to see how they are facing the training in next week. The two are scheduled around this kind of time to be available. “”
Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Timo Werner, Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke are also sidelined, with different return dates in the coming months.
