Tim Sherwood has said that the problems at Tottenham might not go away simply by buying players who Ange Postecoglou feels are better suited to his system.

However, for the first time since taking over at Tottenham, Postecoglou also admitted that there has to be a substantial change in personnel this summer, with the Lilywhites needing players who are better suited to playing the way he wants to.
