if he is manager he portrays himself as, then why cant he buy a alternative player and turn them into the player he would want us to waste all this money for?
For me the club is stuck in a hard place, the transfer norms have changed drastically in the past two years. £35m get you now a potential young talent that everyone is aware of. We need to be identifying players like say Piatek before they make an impact. But then again that would go against what Pochettino wants. Adapt the Chelsea model of buying up young players and loaning them out.
I only see this ending really bad for us. No Pochettino and no decent players in 2/3 years time.
But why buy a player at all when he can do that with kids we've already got?
is it me or are we in a bit of a stalemate here:
Poch: looking for prime targets that will take 70 - 80 % of our transfer budget
Club: won't spend 70 - 80 % of our transfer budget on one player
I don't think that's what's being said. JJ said yesterday that Poch and Levy are aligned. It seems that neither of them want to pay for players that they feel are overpriced.
