Happened after the City game mate, within the last 2 weeks. Tottenham have confirmed to the media just now that they didn't give permission for the interview.Would be interesting to know at what stage of the summer the interview took place and if Poch knew about it. Would hope to think he had the balls to tell Poch before hand that he had gone and done this. Just cant believe him and his agent would think this is the right way to go about this, hes clearly edging for a bigger wage or a transfer so theres no reason he cant go to the chairman and say I want x amount of money or I want to leave. We've already shown this window if you don't want to be here you can leave. I see no way back for him after this unless he is to issue a public apology.
It's not like it was planed or orchestrated or anything
We all live once and footballers earning window is short so if we wants to earn his market rate I get that.
Ultimately he can set himself and his family up for life, and right now Spurs aren't willing to pay him as much as either Manchester club while not investing in our playing staff either.

Buy Sessegnon for any amount Fulham want.Imagine being a team mate of walker/rose
They've both (rose more prominently) basically said their understudies are shit
Buy Sessegnon for any amount Fulham want.
Move Sessegnon above Rose in the pecking order.
Sessegnon gets on the plane to Russia.
We all laugh.
Not a chance they'd come to us for a significant pay cut.I have a feeling Sess will be more of an attacker than defender though.
Seen elsewhere, ask for Shaw + Martial + ££££

Definitely need to turn this thread into a shopping list from Man Utd to make us feel better...
Who would you take as a straight swap?
There is something very, very wrong about Shaw. Don't get me wrong, when he was at Southampton he was fantastic, achieved a lot at a very, very young age. But upon earning a contract of a lifetime at Manure (£30m, still sound massive even in todays market and on just under £90k pw!!) he rocked up at Utd's training centre nearly 2 stone over weight!! He has now under his 3rd manager following his move and every single one of them have come out and slated is fitness, this is not a fluke, something is very wrong. Then last year he was called up into the England squad, despite hardly any minutes of club football, he pulled himself out of the squad in order to focus on the Man derby, leaving England in the shit and with only one LB (Rose), who had to play three games on the spin, getting injured in the 3rd. Manure have been trying to offload him for ages now, why? Because something just isn't right.
