Tottenham were not as active as expected in the final few days of the transfer window.
Thomas Frank had said that Spurs would be active to try and bring in new players in the closing stages of the market after the 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
However, that was not the case, and the Lilywhites did not bring a single new player into the first-team squad before the opportunity to do so had passed.
It leaves the squad in a vulnerable position for the rest of the season, and leaves questions over the decision-making process in North London.
What has been said about Lange and Venkatesham?
John Wenham believes that the lack of senior transfer action is down to the chaos behind the scenes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He tore Johan Lange and Vinai Venkatesham to shreds and questioned why Fabio Paratici was kept on after he announced his decision to leave.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “The blame for that has to go to the sporting director Johan Lange and also Vinai Venkatesham, he is supposed to be running the club and delegating powers down to people to make signings happen, we haven’t seen that.
“What was the point in Paratici hanging on? It was said he was hanging around to help with the rest of the transfer window, what has he actually helped with?
“We haven’t made a first-team signing in those last two weeks, until the window closed, when we kept getting weaker, due to the number of injuries in the squad.”
Frank has been hung out to dry by Tottenham boardroom figures
Frank had sounded positive after the draw with the Citizens, only to have no new additions come through the door by the time that the deadline passed.
That will be a huge blow to the Dane, as he clearly thought that he would have some new incomings to count upon for the second half of the campaign.
He will be forced to utilise what he already has, which given the injuries within the squad, is not enough to achieve his ambitions.
The board, Paratici, Lange and Venkatesham have let their manager down and hung him out to dry, and it will be the ex-Brentford boss who gets it in the neck if results do not go as planned.
