If Poch has not yet identified his targets, how can we be linked with six Southampton players?
I agree with most of this except the Rose bit, his been error prone his season, as a LW or LM he just about scrapes it, as a LB? Not now, Not Ever.I must admit that it is fun to sit and fantasize about who I would like to sign for Spurs. I still play FM2007 to such an extent that divorce has been threatened a couple of times. However, abnormally for me, I am hoping we have a quiet summer. It is not Poch's job to worry about signings. He may well have favourite players from the Saints, but Baldini is in charge of getting players in.
I seriously doubt that Poch has no plans for the squad, but equally he will not have had enough time with players to really know what to make of the squad. The WC will have to get out of the way for that.
Also, we bought so many potential stars last year, it would be a crying shame if they were not given the chance to shine, if they want to stay..., for Spurs now that we have finally sorted out our coaching situation.
Only replace those who need to be replaced. Even Rose could come good, he played really well for Sunderland. Only let those who are unwilling to knuckle down depart and replace as needed. We have a large squad and I can see us losing a few names without it affecting an effective first team.
