Pochettino Press Conferences

[Blake Griffin]

It seems that way, but for all we know it might have not have been as drastic as that. He will only play 2 CMs in his squad and he will feel that he only needs 4, supplemented by youth like Winks and Edwards. He has Dier and Wanyama doing the dirty work, something that doesn't play to Nabil's strengths. Then he has Dembele and Mason in the support roles who he'll want to cover ground and bring the ball forward. Bentaleb isn't really the kind of player who covers a lot of ground. He's very much a passer, a link up man, similar to how Huddlestone was. I think he's best suited to a 3 man midfield. It could just be that Bentaleb wants to start games and Poch has told him that he won't. They may not have fallen out over it.

i don't think he'd have ostracised him from the squad if it was simply a case of not thinking he suits the team or even not rating him, the only other players to receive similar treatment under poch were ade, kaboul and capoue/lennon to a lesser degree and we all know why that was. plus he knows that by saying all of this publically it weakens our position when trying to sell but seemingly he doesn't care about that and just wants shot of him, which leads me to believe they've fallen out for one reason or another.

Poch talking about Victor Wanyama in this press conference when asked what skills he brings to the team:

Poch laughing and smiling: "He's an animal, he's a beast, beast!! I know him very well as we signed him for Southampton....."

Poch talking about Victor Wanyama in this press conference when asked what skills he brings to the team:

Poch laughing and smiling: "He's an animal, he's a beast, beast!! I know him very well as we signed him for Southampton....."

"...because we signed him for Southampton from Celtic, so it is easy to recognise the skill in him he he he he he (evil laugh)".

Rough translation: "Cesc Fabregas...you're getting it!!!"

His last name translates to "animal/beast" in Swahili.

so blunt on nabil, they must've really had a bad falling out

Was obvious. Nabil got too big for his britches. Poch's like, 'nah-ah bitch'. Adios.

 

[finally]

I love pochettino.

 

[Xeeleeyid]

I think Bentaleb has some bad family influences around him too

Or he's desperate to round up some bidder for him and making it public he's for sale?

[RogerTCB]

Interesting that he says the club are currently more focused on improving the team than improving the contract of the players.

[Sweech]

Can't believe a total knobhead reporter asked if we're tapping up players.

[doctor stefan Freud]

The Poch oozes class.

 

[Goldman]

Hugo is fit! Vorm did well when he came in, but great to have Hugo back! Huuuuugoo!

 

[THOWIG]

Class above the rest.

[spurslenny]

The Poch is such a dude.

 

[danielneeds]

So he's ripped in the the lads for their 1st half performance against Monaco at today's presser. I'm sure someone will find the link for it soon...

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Says he will rotate the squad, I like some of his quotes about working harder and wanting to do more. NKoudou won't be available until the Gillingham game by the sound of things
