Grey Fox' ITK is great news. Really just think we are a CB and LB away from a good/great Starting XI with the potential to be very special if Poch can get the most out of the players.
I'm sure there is a bit of that (never really bothered me).
As I say, it's hard to know. I've never met the guy, nor have I been to any training sessions or spoken with AVB, Harry, Tim and levy.
What I would say, if we are going to build some kind of winning mentality, is that we need any leaders within the team to exude characteristics that I do not associate with Ade's personality (as ill informed as that May or may not be). You said yourself, when he's happy he's good, when he's not, he's bad. That's not the kind of attitude I want at the club to be honest. I accept that's a bit wishy washy, and that in the real world, not realistic. Onions.
Wrong thread for this. Sorry A&C
Also i we going to lose ade around christmas for the african nations ?

To bring it back to ITK. Didn't one such fellow (ITK), comment that the two worst club disciplinary records prior to the start of the season just gone, were held by BAE and ADE.

I think that Poch will act similarly. There is going to be one way of doing things and that way is for the single benefit of the team. Anyone who does not buy into that ethos will be dumped out on their ass, even if it is to the short term detriment of the squad. You cannot sugar coat your ego to a man who will be the first into the office in the morning and the last out of it in the evening.
I find the claim that we only need a left back and centre half staggering. I'm not saying we don't need those positions, but if you think the central midfield or attacking midfield/wide areas are sorted you can't have watched what I did last year.

There's not one player in our squad that I wouldn't mind leaving as long as the manager is in agreement with the chairman... Not one.
As long as Poch agrees with me, on the players I'd like him to keep, I'll be happy.

If these attitudes are actually prevalent, i can see both players being frozen out of the first team by Poch once again. You can't have someone in the changing room who believes that they are above it. Case in point, Sir red nose kicked out anyone who started exhibiting these characteristics.

That was looklikemodric and his stuff is not allowed here so I think you can take what he said as not true.
Or perhaps the theory is that with our new coach those failings will be addressed?
For clarity, I mean that with the right coaching we'll see those players in a different light.

I'm just happy my memory isn't shot.
Wasn't it that he was just not responding to verification requests. No idea on his accuracy. Did he not come out with the information prior to Ade being dropped and BAE off to QPR?
If Pocf can get someone in better and selll Adebayor (without spending net a fortune) I'm sure he will do that but as S557 there are not too mant better strikers than 'good Ade;.
So it maybe that Poch decides that he (like HR and TS before) will endeavour to get 'good Ade' to play as part of the team.
It's a strange one with Ade, as you say, on song he is unplayable but do we move him on because of his ability to disrupt behind the scenes because we certainly won't get a striker as good as him as a replacement.
I can pretty much go through the whole squad and i know who i would keep or move on, can't make up my mind with Ade.
You are right that it would be a stretch to find a striker better than Ade who would come to us. However i am of the belief, most likely misplaced, that Tottenham could play to a higher standard and more consistently with an inferior player who would play for the team and was more suited to the team dynamic.
To be fair to Ade, he was as good as gold when AVB cast him to one side. There weren't any signs that he was playing up or being disruptive nor did he use the media to vent his frustration.
