Yes, Sammy we have. Look at what we were in 14/15, decent team but leaky and nothing like 15/16 where we really started to have an identity and then 16/17 where we were unquestionably the best team in all but the final table result. Two years!

I'm sure you'll continue to misrepresent his point or continue to fail to recognize what he actually meant because A) you're Sammy or B) every thing exists in your world to mischaracterize, misconstrue, or misunderstand in order for you to bend it to fit your twisted logic or argument. In retrospect that looks like 1 reason.

Or Sammy you could be more charitable to the best manager (results and play) you've had in your time and consider his point was A) made in a second language B) supported by empirical evidence C) a plea to DL to invest in players worth the time investment so that what we got out the other end would help us in our endeavors.

Two things..firstly the fact that you think I’ve manipulated the point to suit my “twisted logic” would mean that me saying Poch thought players needing two years to bed in would be.....well......twisted. Right?

Secondly, unfortunately for you, that says more about Poch than it does me.

You can try and twist the following into something that sounds like good management, but again, that just means you think what Poch actually said is pretty foolish. Otherwise why would you try and claim he didn’t mean what he said:

“For me, when you sign a player, despite the amount you pay, with the profile of Tanguy Ndombele or Giovani Lo Celso or Ryan Sessegnon you need minimum one year and a half, or two years,” said Pochettino.

“Look at what happened with Son [Heung-min] or [Moussa] Sissoko. They started to perform in year two, year three. Today the market is the market. You cannot judge the player because you paid some kind of amount. They need time to show their real quality.”

Oops
 
If Mourinho wants Pierre to play DM he’s a DM and I’m all for it. Not willing to learn his full name and how to spell it this late in the window unless he signs.
