Just read your post and thought I'd missed the first leg of the semi final. Don't do that to me!
I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for all the info that you've shared over the years.

I don't really understand whats not to like about Tielemans, my only hope is he has his eyes on a bigger prize.

Poch prefer physical midfielders, heD have Zokora rather than Tielemans

It was well reported MP turned him down in Jan as he doesn't fit our profile/system. I wonder who does in MP world

I don't know but the fact it sounded like we had everything in place financially for De Jong (according to the player himself) but he felt not ready for the move gives me hope.

If that's true, it's embarrassing from Poch.

I don't mind Poch not being a fan of Tielemans, I do mind him not being a fan and getting fuck all else in instead though. Considering how long we seem to fuck around in the window for, you'd like to think he'd be a prime option. Is already showing he can do the job in the premiership.

Personally if the 6 month loan option was on the table, I think it's stupid we didn't take it but I suppose Poch has earn't the trust to do it his way.

I assume we would have forked out for DeJong given his comments. That would have been serious money so I can seenus spending huge on the right money.

I did see the player's comments but still find it hard to believe the club would pay that amount out I'm sure levy would have tried to renegotiate a much lower bid which would have seen the deal fall through but thankfully now we will never know.

we must have got permission to speak to him then and therefore we must have been reasonably far in negotiations. My honest opinion is the money is there for certain players and I'd use the De Jong comments and the signing of Sanchez as examples. The only outlier was the nonsense with Grealish but I attribute that to him being plan B for De Jong and Villa circumstances changing.

I’m going to get shouted down for this as he’s not fancy enough but Kalvin Phillips would be a great addition. No real weaknesses, good tackler and passer, still young, and HG too. Also has a long raking ball into the wings in his locker, plus abyear of Bielsa would have prepared him for Pochettino. With Leeds probably screwing up in the playoffs, he could be a very clever signing and a long term partner for Winks.
