I know we are in a title race now, and I love it! :) I think Poch has done an excellent job at Spurs. It is not only his manager skills in terms of tactics, but also when it comes to being a human towards players, media and other people. We have some interesting talents at the club now, and I hope we can add to the academy in the coming years. Players like Onomah, N'Jie will need some time to adapt. N'Jie needs time to get back after a long term injury. I like what I see from the current Spurs team, but I feel that now is the time to invest a little bit more to push. Imbula and Niasse would for example be players we should have challenged for during deadline day.

What about Danny Rose? Or is it only black people with funny names you find interesting?

Here's Spursking's original list of exciting signings:

Pep Guardiola to City
- Oumar Niasse to Everton
- Seydou Doumbia to Newcastle on loan
- Leroy Fer to Swansea on loan
- Nordin Arambat to Watford
- Emmanuel Emenike to West Ham
- Lamine Kone to Sunderland
- Henri Saivet to Newcastle
- Benik Afobe to Bournemouth
- Giannelli Imbula to Stoke?

Not sure about Imbula but the others haven't excited so far, shocking.

I think Spursking's schtick is more being an agent than a scout. Because bigging up bog standard players that move to bog standard teams for decent money and 'help' them finish anywhere between 20th and 15th and subsequently blaming the manager for not getting it right (by playing said bog standard player enough) sounds awfully like agent speak...

Still haven't worked out whether SpursKing is a comic genius, deluded, criminally insane or all three.

But no N'golo Kante to Leicester! Or is it just January window.
Maybe I'm not as average a fan as I thought.

Surprised at how little Iturbe has featured. He has hardly been given a shot. He must be a poor in training or just have a bad attitude.

Lamine Kone has probably held Sunderland up this season. Newcastle relegated because of their back four and lack of knowledge about how to set up a team. Huge potential with the right management. I hope we can do a few bargains from them.

He arrived in the January transfer window from Lokomotiv Moscow for £13.5m.

But Oumar Niasse has played just 152 minutes and started just two Premier League games for the Toffees.

The Senegal forward is on the bench, waiting, lurking, earning well and prompting a lot of scratching of a lot of heads.

Check out his career path. It's awful. Reminds me a lot of Paulinhos actually. He was always a crazy purchase.

Not sure if your serious or not about Kone but surely Defoes goals have has a bigger effect on keeping Sunderland up?

We picked up Trippier from Burnley last summer and he has done well for us. Who are you interested in from Newcastle? Off the top of my head I'd say, Mbemba, Tiote, Sissoko, Cisse?

How is Willy Boly getting on can you tell me?

Niasse was released by Brann in Norway after six months of nothingness and a grand total of 20 minutes playing time over four games or something like that. Brann are the opposite of a model club (in many ways they're Norway's answer to Newcastle) but I went to three of the games he appeared in and I just cannot imagine that he'll make it in the top flight.

All three of their January signings + Defoe have kept them up, Koné has been good but I'd say Kirchoff has been their standout performer with Koné, Khazri and Defoe all significant contributors.

I cannot stand Sam but he did well there.
