In reply to: I heard United convinced Poch by assuring him he’d be able posted by tex29
I think they're more like 7-8 players away. Sanchez appears to be a write-off at this point. The whole back line is bad and it may be generous to call it bottom table quality. Jose had that bus firmly parked and Cube found himself standing alone about 16 yards out twice. Liverpool just assaulted the goal. That's been par for the course this season.
I love Lukaku, but he's not looked right since the WC and he's NOT getting the service. Rashford is really inconsistent, as is Martial. Maybe some of that is due to Jose's management, but who knows? They dropped 50M on Fred. Pogba is another matter entirely. It will be interesting to see if this change enables him to seize the opportunity or just continue to be Pogba.
I have my popcorn ready to watch the soap opera now that the baby faced assassin is running things. And I did actually name my son after him.
single player to strengthen their squad over the summer. It’s one thing to be shit at buying players (like United). It’s another to be so cheap that you won’t even try to improve your squad to compete for trophies.
I'd say we aren't too bothered about it
You mean trophyless for the past forever? Judging by where Poch is likely to be next season, and Spurs are likely to be at the end of this season, you should be bothered.
We've just beaten our rivals in their stadium, just got a result at Camp Nou to take us to the last 16 of the Champions League.
In what world should I be bothered?
You should be bothered in a world where sports fans care more about winning championships than they do about getting a single result against a rival or advancing past the opening round of a tournament.
It would be one thing if you supported Burnley. Hell, it would be different if you, like me, were supporting City in the early 1990s. But Spurs has finished in the top 4 the past few years, largely because of Poch. If your team has the capability to challenge for trophies, your ambition should be to win trophies—not simply to line Daniel Levy’s pockets. And if Spurs fans don’t give Levy stick for this shit, you’ll get what you deserve—Poch will leave, along with your star players, and you can go back to hoping you make it to Europa every few seasons.
I think Spurs being in the conversation is pretty good considering they aren't funded by the wealth of an oil rich nation or a man that stole the mineral wealth of the Russian people.
You have this guy
And this guy
You have billionaire backing too, and do you want to talk about Black Wednesday or not?
Get over yourself
You'd have a point.
But they don't, so you don't.
So like Arsenal, your owner who benefited by destroying the Pound Sterling with Soros in the 90s, is being benevolent in his spending for the club.
OK
I am a Spurs fan after all
