Well, now. That can't be right. Because Poch changed English football, you know.
Pochettino claims his Southampton team 'changed English football' by trusting young players | Goal.com
Mauricio Pochettino believes no team has had a bigger impact upon English football than the Southampton side he coached for a season and a half from January 2013.www.goal.com
"Football in England changed with that Southampton team of 2013-14, there is no other team that had as big an impact in changing the mindset,” Pochettino told Guillem Balague's Talking Football show on La Liga TV.
“We arrived at a club with a president like Nicola Cortese who gave us what we needed to create something unique in English football. Our ability to adapt to a completely different environment was incredible.
"We found a group of players who wanted to learn from the experiences we brought from Spanish football, and with the quality to play a different style of football to that which everyone in English football was used to. Young players started to appear, and people started to trust in young players, also in the English national team."
He is getting to Redknapp levels of horse shit.
It really does say it all about his managerial tenure when he has to come out with that level of drivel in order to elevate his status
At least the tickets might be cheaper!!
I'd imagine we would listen to offers for a substantial number/most of the players in our squad.
At the moment I'm not overly worried about Newcastle, probably because they are starting from quite a way off the pace compared to the top six.
Even with potentially a lot of money at their disposal, it will still take a while for them to get amongst it there are no guarantees.
I would like to think by that time we may have got ourselves back in the mix and hopefully provide a credible threat.
Of course none of us know what or if the club will spend any money or whether it's a trolley dash through Aldi, I'm sure the chairman is aware that the squad needs investment along with competing in the world's best stadium otherwise what is the point in hiring a manager like Jose to compete for mid table.
I dunno how you guys would cope if you supported another traditionally big side like Everton/Leeds/Villa/Newcastle etc..
all sounds a bit entitled.
Add Lamela, Aurier, KWP, Amos to that list. I’d say the likes of Lucas and Sissoko may also be available for the right price.
Depends on who or what we can afford to bring in.
It’s not entitlement at all. You can’t class finishing top 4 for 4 seasons in a row success if you aren’t improving on it. A CL final is special, but I wanna need win the final. You don’t get anything for runners up.
It’s not just Spurs who will be affected by this, almost every club will be. Other clubs will be listening to offers for players as they need the cash to keep afloat. The likes of Aarons will be cheaper due to Norwich needing the funds.

Yes I agree I was just referring to us, but apart from a few big clubs the rest of us are in a scramble
It just says 2 mins ago?
Young English prospect aka hot prospect aka promising star aka the next John Bostock.
Loans, swaps and frees will be what a lot of clubs will be after.
Loans with an option/obligation to buy will be common as it’ll give clubs a chance to recoup funds during the season to buy the player in full next season.
Ahh poor old Poch he's reached the first stage of grief, denial.
We have been linked with him a bit...
Dries Mertens will sign a new contract with Napoli: confirmed and here we go! Total agreement reached until June 2022. Paperworks time between the club and Mertens lawyers. He decided to stay - refused Chelsea bid some weeks ago. Official announcement soon.

Gazzaniga, Rose, Aurier, Walker-Peters, Foyth, Carter-Vickers, Sissoko, Dier if he doesn’t extend, Lamela, possibly Lucas although I’m doubtful of that being one we would actively be up for. At least 10 players I think the gaffer would be open to shifting if the circumstance suit.
He was a PL football manager. Not a fucking PE teacher.
Are you honestly saying the likes Marcus Edwards and Cameron Carter Vickers would have taken us to higher level then we achieved
Get a fucking grip, man.
