The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[THFCSPURS19]

It's not about their age it's where they are now and I personally don't see them any better individually than they are now.

You don't think Dier and Alli can get any better?

You don't think Dier and Alli can get any better?

Crazy comment.

 

[dtxspurs]

I'm interested to see what happens this summer. If he has brave ideas and wants to be backed I don't understand why our two seemingly top targets right now and closest deals are two teenagers. I don't see how that advances us at all. For the record I'd love to add both of them but Sess and De Ligt don't scream we're going all out to win the title.

 

[Gb160]

Early signings is my major guess.

Secondly, it would be selling a surprise name.

Thirdly, sell Kane and get one of these:

Which kind of makes me wonder what these 'crazy ideas' are.

As long as it’s not make Sissoko captain .

I don’t want to get pillared fir this! But only if! Toby goes would we be in the market for any CH, including Lgit. Therefore, it would not effect our starting Funds pot (150).

I'm not coming after you, I'm just genuinely curious to see what everyones thoughts on that are. Like I said I'd be thrilled to add both players just don't see how they improve us year one. Very interesting to see if now used with Toby, definitely seems as if something has changed a bit there. Our title hopes certainly go up when we're able to shut down games with Vert, Sanchez and Toby at the end of games. It was noticeable when Sanchez came one the game died. It's a real shame we didn't see these three play together as much as we hoped.

Strange comment, peak is usually 27-28-29 obviously it's different for every player but Kane, Dier and Davies are only 25 next season, Son and Eriksen 26 while Dele is only 22.

So Kane's early sprout of goals are only premature ejaculations.

 

[worcestersauce]

Are you sure about Levy spending the money? As for not at their peak yet, I think most of our top players are at their peak. Eriksen, Kane Ali, Dembele, Son, Trippier, Lloris, Davies, Dier, Wanyama. I really don't see them getting any better than they are now. In most cases that's good.

Eriksen, Kane, Dele, Son, Davies, Wanyama and Dier will improve as they reach twenty seven or so, as an example Trippier has improved noticably in the last two years and as a defender will continue to do so, Lloris is probably at his peak and Dembele is at an age where he could drop off depending on his body but overall I'll stand by what I said.
As for Levy, I am pretty confident actually, I genuinely believe it would be a good business decision and say what you like about him I don't think he makes bad business decisions.

Some of that list makes me shudder.

 

[Donki]

He's currently the 3rd longest serving manager, still managing, in the PL and 9th in the whole Football League. How times have changed.

 

[Indisguise]

Toby may well have had a change of heart if he's got a whiff of something good in the air. Securing a CL place can't have hurt our chances of keeping him either.

 

[Donki]

Some of that list makes me shudder.

Whatever do you mean?

[archiewasking]

Call me stupid but when MoPo leaves I would love to let Chris Hughton have a proper go at being our main man.

What's your point?

 

[Donki]

Call me stupid but when MoPo leaves I would love to let Chris Hughton have a proper go at being our main man.

Are you Gerry Francis?

 

[archiewasking]

Are you Gerry Francis?

Berry berry Francis.

 

[Donki]

Berry berry Francis.

I mean was the dislike you gave me an accident ?

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

I think Poch is spot on with his comments, which I believe to be related to the wage structure.

Poch has taken us as far as he can with our current structure, and is clearly an ambitious guy.
