He also gets players to essentially do the striker role at times. We've seen Dele several times take up the tasks which a striker would.

And Poch has emplyed 3 at the back times. Jan can play LB, CB, DM...Toby can play RB,CB, LB, DM, Dier can play RB, CB, DM....and I can go on and on. It is nothing new in todays football that player are played "out of position" in certain games and part of games.
There will always be time when Poch change his formation at times but he won't budge with his set formation for an extended period, He will stick to his basics.

He has played Ade & Soldado together, Kane & Soldado together and a few times it's looked like Kane & Son or Kane & Chadli have both played as pairing. In fact, at the Emirates last season, Ade and Chadli basically played as a pairing upfront.

So you now claim that Poch now is looking for a top notch CF to partner Kane so he can change his formatin, mid-season, and/or that Poch really want to change the basic formation he's been using ever since he came to the EPL?
Of course there are exception to his basic formation; like when he plalyed with 3 CB vs Watford...but I bet that Poch want to keep him 4-3-3 formation out this season and seasons to come.

No mate, he's just repeating what Poch himself said earlier this week.

Where did I say that? I said Poch has played with 2 centre forwards, that is all FFS.

You are chaning Poch formation without informing him :cool: I remember quite cleary that Spurs had a 3 up front, with 1 one the left - apart, last season. Chadli was mostly WLF and not a main CF.
The discussion, however, started with the me saying there is no way Spurs wil investe £30-40M in a CF to be Kane's understudy and there is no way Poch is gona change his basic formation to accomodate such a CF - unless a really top quality CF would - almost by a miracle - become available. And Morata imo is not such a player nor would he join Spurs to play second fiddle to Kane.
