Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey reacts to the news that Damien Comolli job maybe under threat after failing to bring in a striker on deadline day, but asks: are Spurs’ other signings not proof that he is doing a good job?

Damien Comolli’s future at Tottenham is under threat, according to the Telegraph, after the clubs lack of success on transfer deadline day. The club secured the services of Frazier Campbell from United as part of the Berbatov deal, but other than that they remain short up front.

If Darren Bent got injured for a significant chunk of the season then all their hopes will lay with Roman Pavlyuchenko and the inexperienced Fraizer Campbell or simply relying on the numerous attack minded midfielders they have at their disposal. This must have crossed the board’s mind at some stage during the summer though?

Spurs played a key part in many big moves this summer, mainly in selling their striking duo of Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov to Premier League rivals. However, they bought as well as anyone, perhaps even bringing in some of the best players in Luka Modric and Roman Pavlyuchenko, as well as David Bentley from Blackburn, Dos Santos from Barca and Huerelho Gomes in goal. But now, understandably, questions are being asked after the lack of attacking players on the clubs roster.

Comolli has defended his position by stating that “we got a lot of the players we wanted – and early,” as reported in the Telegraph.

“Spurs had to think about building a team with a future and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” he added.

His position surely can not be under threat after all of the signings he oversaw this summer, but should he be the one held accountable for the lack of strikers at White Hart Lane?

The club are hardly likely to terminate his contract now, but there will be added pressure on him in January, especially if the club are struggling for goals. He will be expected to bring in a world class striker, and after reports have emerged that the club made a last ditch attempt to sign Kevin Doyle, fans should perhaps be counting their blessings that they never completed that signing. The thing is, is that world class strikers are in short supply, so Comolli will be expected to work his magic in January competing against top European clubs.

Is the writing on the wall for Comolli? Do Spurs need another striker or will their attacking options see them through? Are fans upset that a big striker wasn’t brought in, despite the other transfers the club completed? Is this just a sign of the modern game where no matter how much progress a club is making in the window, one failure means that you are out of the job?
