I like that Levy tried to spend the money but to me it almost was like an attempt to just show supporters "he tried" in order to tide them until the summer and make it look like they tried to solve their biggest weakness.
He went after Aguero and Rossi but both were last minute offers after we hadn't really heard of anything from Tottenham for the whole transfer window.
If he really went hard after a striker, like Liverpool did with Suarez and Carroll, he would have been able to land one with $40 million.
I still think they missed on opportunity by not trying to get in on Carroll as I think he is in the mold of the striker they need. Big, strong, and good with the ball in the air from crosses and can handle creative passes on the ground at his feet.
While Rossi and Aguero are both great talents that any team would love to have, they are both more of a support striker as opposed to the strong target man that Tottenham needs.
