Mauricio Pochettino hits back at critics writing off Tottenham's chances

LONDON -- Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has hit back at critics who have written off his side after their failure to make a single summer signing

Tottenham and Saturday's Wembley opponents Fulham had starkly contrasting transfer windows, with the promoted club spending more than £100 million on 12 new players.

But Pochettino said fans and pundits had the luxury of being able to change their minds during the campaign, while he had to deal with the consequences of his decisions.

"Maybe one day I can say: 'It's going to be a big mistake [not to sign players], he is going to pay,'" he said.
