Just watched some of his Anderlecht highlights, wish I hadn't now...

Leicester fans must be buzzing.

that's for CL. we still need to compete in PL don't we?
I have already stated that Dembele feels himself cannot take the rigors of the prem. Nothing about his selling was to do with money. That was the point. He was not sold, because money was needed. Squad space and health issues were the reasons.

the reason dembele was sold is not important at all, now he is sold and we have a slot for a new player, who may help us to keep up with our competitors

Pochettino has fucked me off more than he ever has done as manager.

We are in desperate need of players.

How does he have the audacity to believe that Tielemans isn’t a good replacement for Dembele, when he believed that Janssen was a good back up for Kane?

Poch is a fantastic man manager and gets us results on the pitch, but when it comes to transfers he is fucking dog shit.

Winks is better than him in my opinion. I mean I’m as desperate for us to bring in a CM as anyone but I want one who automatically and undoubtably would go into the first team. Is it really sensible spending on a CM who although improves options may not actually improve our first team? We don’t have the money to then have to go sign another CM in the summer and have 3 players fighting for one spot.

If we were going to plug gaps in squad we should have done it before we got knocked out of all the cups. We haven’t got as hectic a fixture list anymore.

If he is best we can get for CM I think I’d rather just wait until we actually have money to spend (post sales).

Agree, Id also like someone with more presence and a bit more physicality. Rabiot would of been that player. We just don't get a stranglehold of games anymore like we used to with Dembele and Wanyama at their best. It was hard for other teams to even get a foothold in games against us, even some of the better teams. Id like us to get back to being that technically and physically dominating team. This team at the moment is a bit flimsy a bit to open and easy to play against.

This whole foreign player squad registration issue is unbelievably short-sighted.

Regardless of who is registered for the next stage of this season’s champions league, we have already wasted time when it comes to succession planning for the likes of Eriksen.

This guy is a possible replacement and one who won’t be available when the next transfer window comes around. So frustrating!
