Funny how everyone's a moron except you
When Ricardo was available.
Nope not everyone. Just you and Pochetino on this issue.
Really unfair to put Sissoko and Lucas in the same company as those other 2 you listed.
If we are being honest Foyth is more fitting in being that list but you would never do that.
Foyth cost about £8,000,000 and has never been forced into a team over superior players. Relatively risk free in signing a player with potential to see how he develops.
N'kodou cost roughly the same and also was never forced into a team of superior players but you still included him.
Because with regards to Nkoudou he was forced into the squad instead of promising youth players. So many times he would be on the bench or starting cup games instead of players who actually had talent. Marcus Edwards mostly.
You're chatting out your arse. I mean I'm sure you know that. It's the same damn thing and you know it.
Then fucking add Foyth to the list. What difference does that make?
Poch was HORRENDOUS at rebuilding a squad he for the most part inherited.
He turned our sub players into starting players and watched our squad get weaker through his wank investment and was actually happy with it.
Go look at our bench from 16/17 and most of them are now our starting players. THAT'S the problem.
Yep agreed.
Look at the bench.
5 of those ended up pretty much being our new starting players once their superior counterparts left (or declined) or in Sons case, when Poch realised what a player he had on his hands.
Instead of investing in players that'd eventually push Dier and Wanyama to the bench and preparing for life without Dembele, we just had Trippier replace Walker. Sissoko actually start a run of games and partner him with Winks.
Pretty remarkable how such a wank manager achieved 4 successive Champions League finishes, ahead of schedule, on a budget dwarfed by the clubs we were displacing..
Yeah, what a horrendous squad builder he must have been. Shocking.
Not a single part of my post mentions Pochettino being a wank manager.
In fact, he's a pretty good manager. Flawed and stubborn, but a good manager. As you say, his top four finishes prove that. Even if a few of those seasons required other teams to underperform significantly.
That was on Harry. Those two were the Redknappiest Redknapp transfers that were ever Redknapped. Levy can be blamed for a lot of transfer windows but I'll sooner slit my own throat than have people blame Levy for those two.... don't forget signing Louis Saha and Ryan Nelsen in the January 2012 transfer window.
Sorry pal.
But it's you that doesn't understand what you see.
I'm totally comfortable with my level of comprehension
To be fair, levy signings those 2 cheapo signings is more than he normally does in January. We didnt know it at the time, but that was 1 of the better January transfer windows under levy.... don't forget signing Louis Saha and Ryan Nelsen in the January 2012 transfer window.
Aye, so close to something big and this is how it ended thanks to Levy and the board. We won't get another Poch for a long time so let's get used to the Europa league, st Totteringhams day and 'Spursy' again.
Forget winning the Champions league with Porto, forget winning Chelsea's first Premier League title, forget winning the treble with Inter - if Jose can turn this pile of crap around, he will have cemented his place as one of the greatest football managers. Unfortunately, without the financial backing, I think this will be way too big a job for him. I hope I'm wrong.
I said to my dad today: thats why he persisted with the diamond. because he knew it was bad but still the best option with the players available. He would have loved to set up as he did in previous seasons but he no longer had the neccesary personel to set up like that. Thats why.
Fuuuuuuck.
