3) Cut losses on flops
If striker Roberto Soldado and attacker Erik Lamela were going to do the business for Spurs, it would have happened by now. Both have been given more time than they arguably deserved to finally prove themselves this term, but it is not working out and they must be written off as expensive mistakes.
Levy will not retrieve the £30million spent on Lamela nor the £26m it cost to acquire Soldado, but he would still be better off cutting his losses than paying their wages for another 12 months.
