Spurs became the first Premier League club ever, since the introduction of summer transfer window in 2003, to not sign any player, following that up with another dry window in January.
Speculations claim the Argentine refused to recruit three players in that time, despite the his stance on transfers to the media.
“If we want to win titles we need to operate in a different way. At the moment we operate in the same way as we operated in five years ago when we arrived.
"Of course, maybe we can win some titles but it's going to be a tough job to do because in that situation every club in the last five years was improving a lot.
"The other day I saw a stat that in the last 10 years in England and in Europe how the teams were spending money, and I think we were on the bottom, in England and Europe.
"Of course we're doing a fantastic job but if we want to be real contenders we need to operate in a different way in the future."
But Redknapp, who was the first Spurs manager to manage the club in the Champions League, says he knows for definite that Pochettino did not wish to add to his roster.
“They’ve got a good enough squad [to win the title].”
“He’s got a fantastic squad there. If you put all the names down in that squad, and go through them all - they’ve got a great squad.
“They’ve got four full-backs - take your pick - they’ve got fantastic centre-halves, they’ve got midfield players galore. People keep saying they need another centre-forward.
“Where are you going to get another centre-forward? Who’s going to come and be a number two? Because no one is good enough to take Harry Kane’s place. There’s no centre-forward around.
“[Pochettino] didn’t want any players - I know that for a fact. He was happy with his squad. He feels he’s got enough, he can juggle around, Son can play through the middle.
“[You know for a fact?] Yes. Didn’t want anybody. He’s happy with his squad and he’s proven himself right. He’s bang [up the top of the table] there still.”
