He's a fantastic player now. He'd be perfect for us. If only.

He'd be a lovely Dembele replacement but unfortunately that ship has sailed. He's started every game I think this season and been impressive. He'll get a new deal.
I see City have sent Patrick Roberts away to Celtic again. Poch would do wonders with him.
Here in the Netherlands there are some rumours about Steven Bergwijn (young PSV attacker) joining the Spurs. Is it just here, or are these rumours over there too?
I've not seen anything on this particular rumor (granted it's a few months away from the window so it might just not have picked up speed). Is he any good?
Signing Barkley and Mahrez/Zaha would complete us.
AM/Wingers is still our weakest area we are yet to address.

Mahrez is finished
He's currently at the club that is neither fighting relegation nor finishing in high end of the table, it's hard to stay motivated bring your A game on weekly basis. Under Pochettino he'll instantly go 3 levels up and become borderline world class.
On a side note, I really hope he's downing his tools just to lower his asking price so that more clubs like us, Monaco, Roma etc could afford his fee in the next window.
He brought his A game two years ago when survival was all that was required at Leicester. Why not now?
So if he refuses to bring his a-game in every game why should we sign him?
I don't expect every spurs player to play the perfect game every game. But I expect them to give it the perfect try each and every game. No matter the opposition.

Good for them, they had their day in the sun. Now a return to what they’re really used to.
Barkley who won't play up til Christmas anyway with injuries and fitness problems, not too mention falling foul of Koeman...are people really still on this one?
People are talking of him coming in January are they not - so a few weeks of fitness.
Barkely has got fantastic potential. A couple of years ago he looked like the dogs nuts. Since then I'd like to think that he lost concentration. It now appears that he wants to join us/Poch to get his England career back on track, which means he's sorted out the mental side of things. Otherwise he'd be at Chavs by now.
Poch has improved so many of our players, if he does the same with RB, then we will have some player on our hands and another mainstay of the England team.
And horrible as it is to contemplate, we have to plan for a time when Christian E gets the call from Barcelona. One day the penny will drop with them that he is a better fit than Coutinho. No lack of loyalty with CE, but he's not English, he hasn't come through the Academy so he won't have the same attachment to the club.
Barkely in Jan makes a lot of sense.

I think for the right price he can improve us
20 mil maximum?
