Keeper wise Pau Lopez knows the club and is very good now.
We'll know how good Gazz is in the next few months. Though I suspect he's not number 1 quality.

No way he leaves in January, but Peter Gulasci is the one we should be looking at if we want a ready made upgrade on Hugo.
In my opinion the best goalkeeper in the top 5 leagues right now.
But Nübel is looking very promising and we should make an approach in January.

So Lamela to Juve.
And another year for the favourite ones to settle, another two to decide the ones that never got a game are bad apples, another year to replace them, another year for their replacements to settle......

It's been 11 years since a January splurge.
And only a few good signings in the last 10 years.
Expect a cautious, uneventful window - offering plenty for people to moan about.

Pochettino's saviour right now is Levy.
For those of us still interested in Barrios (Hi
Reidy
). The Russian league are implementing a new rule from the end of the season that will limit the amount of foreign players in the league.
He should be doable.

and that was because it was 2 points from 8 games and Defoe broke his foot after we signed him!

I do like him, but I want him in midfield....not attending one of Vertonghen and Eriksen's bukkake parties.
Yup, his future is in Levys hands.
Levy could quite easily shaft him. Poch has built that stadium with his top 4 finishes. Levy has cut his transfer budget for 5 years whilst he performs miracles. Spurs are now a continental club in terms of infrastructure and cash flow.
Levy could quite easily screw poch and get Allegri or likewise to spend the money Poc has earned.
We'll see.
Just in case anyone was in any doubt which camp you were in.
It is however or should I say we are not a charity to use Pochettino's own words.
There is some but not enough justification for the performances since the loss to Burnley last season.
We have been pretty woeful beyond that and it needs more than just new signings for that to happen.
Im not 100pc in Pochs court.
You could argue hes lost the dessing room. You could argue results are bad and not going to change.
Can also say that Poch has been paid handsomely for his troubles. Levy has also provided a platform for Poch to become one of the most sought after managers in the world. A million miles away from when he first came here.
The relationship has been mutually beneficial.
Question is, what do we do now? This situation is as devisive as Brexit. With no clear cut obvious answer.
If it was me, Id back the manager. But he needs to drop the trouble makers instantly and never pick them again.
Had a look at your boy Gulasci there, good call, however I'd still go Nubel for for reason. Presence. You look at Nubel and he has the same presence as keepers like Dasayev, Schmeichel, Van Der Saar and Neuer, a big strong unit that makes a striker feel like he has to put the ball that much wider to get past him. Although I'm a massive fan of small massively agile keepers like Goram, Klos and even Kelvin Davis, a big domineering unit would be my preference.
Gulacsi I'd put with Yann Sommer as a choice if I wanted a smaller, more agile keeper.
Nubel ends his deals this season...

He is the DM we need, and I hope we get him. Having said that, he is doing very well for them, so I doubt they would want to transfer him just because of that new rule.
The other thing about Barrios is how much he would help Dav having his international team mate there with him.

He’s incredibly one dimensional.
