text: Daniel Levy reportedly told the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust that after the problems reinvesting the money received for Gareth Bale, future transfer policy would entail the purchase of young players, priced between £10-15million with good potential for resale. This may be financially sensible, but it is hardly reassuring. Elite clubs, those who challenge for the biggest trophies, do not buy with one eye on selling and this strategy would set Tottenham back a decade to a time when they helped solve problems at Manchester United by trading top performers such as Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov. Indeed, the only time Tottenham demonstrated real Champions League potential was when Levy resisted the likes of Chelsea over Luka Modric. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is planning a new transfer policy for the club that centres on resale value . Spurs sold forward Gareth Bale (left) to Real Madrid in 2013 for a world-record £85 million transfer fee . Spurs' best chance of securing regular Champions League football came when Luka Modric played for them . Spurs allowed star performers Dimitar Berbatov (left) and Michael Carrick (right) to join Manchester United . The moment they started to sell again, Tottenham fell away. Not even having the Premier League's top goalscorer in Harry Kane has placed them among the elite again — and it is hard to see how that will change if this is the plan. Nobody overtakes Manchester United by offering a helping hand — no matter how favourable the price. Even the exploits of Premier League top goalscorer Harry Kane hasn't been enough to get Spurs top-four .
target: Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has told supporters that future transfer policy will include developing young players with resale value .
  Having failed to successfully reinvest the money received for Gareth Bale, Levy will now turn to more modestly priced players .
  Although financially sensible, Levy's new plans could risk Spurs falling behind the other top clubs in pursuit of the Champions League .
