Ex-Spurs Player Kyle Walker

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Really? That he didn’t want him?

If so, that’s fucking daft on Poch’s part.

But I never remember it unfolding like that. It was more like an open secret that he was off to City and the deal was done with a minimum of fuss.

No, not that he didn't want him, but I think in the book it comes across as Poch started picking Trippier so Walker threw his toys out, went to Poch in a huff expecting Poch to beg him ton stay and it didn't happen.

Walker said Pochettino gave him permission to leave the club in the summer of 2017 after telling him Trippier would be his first choice right-back.


However, the 34-year-old said he "doesn't have a bad word to say" about his former coach and that, "I say thank you and whenever I see him, I give him a hug and a cuddle and that's it".

Funny how they loved them SO much, but still didn't seem to bust a gut when it mattered to get the result/trophies they deserved...

The AVB team not so much, but Poch's team not winning anything is nothing short of a travesty!!

I can already see the same 'player/coach' connections and love happening with Ange...
Love is all well and good, but so is being 'nice'...
But does love and being nice win trophies...?

...or do we need a bit of FEAR and FUCKERY in there too if they don't perform?!

It may be that the players love Ange but he doesn't strike me as sentimental.

If they stop doing what he wants, they'll be gone.
