No as in getting expensive players rather than stock piling. He said siggy looks to be going there for 37m. Mental price.

I defo concur, we do not, what we need is to add depth but of good quality, to support and enhance the squad as a whole.

Not that I am aware of, but good examples either way.

And maybe that's the point with Poch. If we don't need a major overhaul, and want to bring in one or two, then Pochettino may be wondering why he can't get the target(s) he wants - and I mean his first choices. This must be incredibly frustrating.
For the love of Spurs

I don't think 2 in (excluding replacing players) is bad, as a squad we only lack 1-2 quality players in certain areas, I don't see the need to buy lots. Just a few well targeted purchases.

Info doesn't surprise me at all.
It's common practice to allow this sort of info out in a domain where you know it will get back to the person you want it to.
Probably a well thought out leak to get your point across.
It wouldn't damage the relationship between the pair in my opinion. Keeps them both on their toes and proves they actually care.

Dangerous game to play with Levy. Every Manager/Head Coach who has tried it out (Jol, Harry) have been forced out.

I do not believe Levy carries the ace here.

I think it's unlikely that this came from Poch. He was much more direct about his displeasure at Southampton. I don't think it's his style to surreptitiously release a leak like this.
This reads more like an agent who is reading into the situation. He had a player Poch wanted, Poch and player frustrated that a deal could not be done.
Pochettino has warned repeatedly that our squad isn't strong enough to cope with the rigors of Champions League and English Premier League football. Just look at the quotes in this article after we were dumped out of CL last season: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/tottenham-boss-mauricio-pochettino-admits-9314986
Anyone who thinks he's going to just accept selling to buy in regards to transfer spending, and a hard cap on wages for the rest of the decade until ENIC has used club revenue to help build a debt free stadium that they'll 100% own, is deluding themselves.
Pochettino has major ambition, and he could have his choice of top clubs or national teams. Yes, he's repeatedly talked about Spurs as a project and on the rise, but when you have nearly 80 million dollars of fresh revenue coming in from improved television deals and Champions League football, he's naturally going to want to spend a lot of that on building a squad capable of competing in all competitions.
I've mentioned this before, but A&C warned repeatedly last summer that there were issues behind the scenes with securing Poch's targets, which some people wrote-off. Here is what he wrote subsequently after we lost to Leverkusen in November.
Given how definitive A&C was then and now, I think people need to take this seriously. Don't forget who Poch's mentor is. Bielsa has no problem just getting up and quitting when he feels he's being mislead by management, and while Poch is nowhere near as volatile, he's someone who has shown in his handling of players that he has no problems taking a hardline if he believes he's in the right.

2 in will be ok as long as Rose, Lamela and Winks get back sooner rather than later. When September comes round and we've got Champions League matches and League cup matches on top of our PL matches; that's when we'll know if we did enough in the transfer window.
Also with our boys making up nearly 50% on the England team, there will be WC qualifiers in the Autumn too. I know this applies to most teams and key players on international duty but I have this overwhelming fear that if injury is going to happen to our players - it'll be on International duty
