He also says when asked about Berahino...
"It's a lot of rumor around us with different players and different names. I am happy that there are only 5 days left in the transfer window, because we need to be focusing on only football on the pitch, and you know...I don't speak about players on a different club."

I think the key part of his quote is that "only one is true" (when referring to the names we are linked to). If taken literally this can mean one of two things...
  1. He is playing the company line to continue to scare WBA and let them think that Son is instead of Berahino.
  2. Despite ITK, we are only getting one, or at least that is what he thinks. ( I still contend that this is the most likely scenario as I don't see where the money comes from based upon actions of the last 7 windows, and a lot has to happen to be able to pay for two).

he actually says 'maybe one is true'. it's non-committal all the way around. also, english isn't poch's strong suit. i don't reckon there is a nuanced meaning behind what he's said today.

German is not widely used in Belgium. Not even within proximity.


Other than in Lontzen, Eupen, Raeren. Butenbach, Bullingen, Amel, St. Vith and Burg-Reuland or what is OFFICIALLY know in Belgium as the German Speaking Community. They have their own flag and their own government.

But for fucks sake man, don't let the truth get in the way of your facts.

My dislike of certain characters here including Lufti, spilled over to just being an asshole. And ES got the bulk of that for no reason. Although once I finally replied to the real bane, I felt better and sent him an apology. This is the public apology. Sorry ES.

I don't think in this case English is up for interpretation, but yes he said maybe. The question is whether he is lying or not. As much as I want to get every player and getting both Berahino and Son sounds like a dream, in my brain I just can't reconcile it with similar feelings and information from past windows, where the money trail wound up trumping all of these types of outcomes.

Well Berahino ain't happening if Pearce's latest is to go by.

more quotes from Poch...

“It is obvious we need one striker more, maybe one player more and we are working hard. This you know and this is what we need to provide the squad with [to have] the right balance to compete for the whole season.I’m happy because it is close to the end of the window and we need something to happen.

“We have different targets. We have our targets but I cannot manage the rumours and the names that are in the media. I never speak about the rumours, this is one of my rules.”

So long as the wordplay isn't based on racial discrimination, I would tend to agree, but it's a very fine line. I wouldn't like it to go any further than it has though.
I agree mate and fair enough. Just irritates me how you seem to get scrutinised for saying anything that so much involves a person of another race

Before you get on your high horse.
Would you maybe care to check the amount of people who make up the OFFICIAL German community?
Ergo, it is not even within proximity of widely spoken.
I will give you a little hint.
Imagine if Belgium has a bit more than 11M citizens.
And Flemish is spoken by approx. 6.5M
And French is spoken approx. 4.5M.

But for fucks sake man, don't let the truth ... :rolleyes:

Not happening, as long as there is other options I'm happy, the fee was getting into stupid figures. The only way this happens if berahino pulls a berbatov.

He seems like a bit of a Jack of all trades.

I'm taking that, and the fact I'm not really excited about this purchase, to be a good thing though as after we singed the Beatles I was so excited and we know how that turned out.

Poch obviously wants versatility in our attack and he seems to tick that box from what I've read and the little of what I've seen of him.
