Southampton chiefs are bemused by the behavior of Tottenham this season. The Mail on Sunday says Southampton's head of recruitment Paul Mitchell will join Spurs when his notice period expires in the new year and have coveted Saints players including Jay Rodriguez and Morgan Schneiderlin.
An insider familiar with the workings at both White Hart Lane and St Mary's told the Mail on Sunday: "It doesn't appear that they have a strategy of any ilk, it seems to be a case of seeing Southampton do things well so let's take a short cut and hire their people.
"It will work sometimes and others won't go near them but ultimately it's a naive approach. Sustainable success is not about individuals, it's about a culture."
