Tottenham Hotspur invested heavily in this summer's transfer window, but started the new Premier League season with two consecutive losses, placing them at the bottom of the table.

Former Premier League star Troy Deeney shared his views in a column for The Sun.

Troy Deeney: Over £300 million spent on transfers, 54 players in and out, 0 points, 0 goals, no clear plan... Tottenham Hotspur has nowhere left to hide.

After all the optimism early in the summer, Tottenham Hotspur seems to be in disarray once again.

If you're struggling to decide whether Tottenham Hotspur had an excellent transfer window or simply threw a lot of money at a problem, there's a straightforward way to look at it.

Over £300 million spent, but the core issue remains unresolved.

On transfer deadline day, they signed Tosin Adarabioyo and Mudryk from Chelsea. But was this their original plan? Certainly not. Tosin's signing raised some questions largely due to his injury history, but he has had an excellent career. However, his arrival still hasn't created much excitement, especially given Tottenham Hotspur's loss of Cristian Romero.

Tottenham Hotspur has spent hundreds of millions of pounds, but still no one can answer a simple question: Who can score 10 goals for Tottenham Hotspur this season?

To spend so much money and bring in so many players, yet be unable to confidently name someone who can reach that number, is worrying.

Squad overly reliant on "everyone being fit and in top form."

All discussion around Roberto De Zerbi's team centres on how good they could be if all players remain healthy and in top form – but with such a huge investment, this is far from ideal.

It's like when they had Ledley King. Everyone wondered how strong they would be if the defender could play at least 20 games.

Now, De Zerbi faces a team where about half the players are in a similar situation to Ledley King.

Chaotic transfer window ending strengthens rivals instead.

This chaotic end to the summer transfer window is not looking good. Tottenham Hotspur pursued Cody Gakpo, and Iliman Ndiaye's transfer was almost complete at one point, but somehow he ended up joining Manchester City.

Ndiaye would have been an excellent signing. I played against him when he was at Sheffield United, and he was always very impressive. Joining Manchester City is a significant step up in his career, so there will still be questions to answer. But he is a very talented player, and his quality is definitely above Mudryk's.

Tottenham Hotspur was on the verge of signing either Gakpo or Ndiaye, but now they can only watch Manchester City and Liverpool get stronger – the latter signing Bradley Barcola.

Rivals look stronger, and because of this situation, Richarlison remains at Tottenham Hotspur and is extremely unhappy about it. My former teammate has always been a strong character, but De Zerbi has said that he only wants players who are fully committed to the team. Richarlison's eventual exclusion from the Premier League squad list undoubtedly confirms this.

Mudryk is a high-risk gamble.

Mudryk is a completely different case. He may have performed well under De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk, but that was several years ago. And, as we all know, he received an 18-month ban. This doesn't just mean missing games due to injury or a dip in form. He couldn't even train with Chelsea's first team. For nearly two years, he was almost completely isolated.

We can see that he is very quick and in good physical condition – he has clearly maintained his fitness – but in terms of match fitness, the Ukrainian winger lacks sufficient training and competitive opportunities. The real concern is not whether he can adapt to the game, but whether training day in and day out could itself become challenging.

The big gamble Tottenham Hotspur has made is believing that De Zerbi, who once called Mudryk a future Ballon d'Or winner, can restore him to his best form before the ban ends. This is undoubtedly quite a risk.

De Zerbi has no excuses.

This is not the only risk Tottenham Hotspur has taken with the Italian coach. De Zerbi made significant demands for transfer spending this summer, and the club met all of them. Now, he has nowhere left to hide.

You cannot blame the club owners, because Daniel Levy is no longer there. Nor can you blame the club for insufficient investment.

You also can't blame the players, because ultimately, you need these players to perform on the pitch.

So, in the end, the only person who might get fired is the head coach.
