If we bought all those, Poch's project would fail as soon as next season. We may need to sell quite a few, but we cannot buy 10 players.

Of course not, that would completely fuck up any progress we have made this season, I was just referring to a list of players that maybe 2 or 3(max) could sign that would improve our squad
Side note...if you're comment was being sarcastic sorry for my ignorance/your time, it's hard to judge in black and white
No worries. I said it with tongue in cheek, it's not easy to tell. To be fair the list looks alright to me and many of them would would be very good signings!
More out than in.
Levy can work on reducing wage bill - tick
Poch can work on improving academy players to have improved contracts - tick
Personally for me I only want 3 specialist players
1. Striker - JRod still think Poch loves him and Koeman hasn't been able to use him so he won't miss him.
2. CM - Want someone to be better than Dembele (quicker, offering more goals) this role see as competing/rotating with Eriksen in that 3 behind the striker.
3. RM - a goalscorer, right footed, quick. I wanted Mane/Son Hueng-Min previously but we either looked away or missed out.
I envisage the gap in squad from sold/loaned/bought to be promotions from academy/loans. Players like Winks, Ball, Onomah, Fredericks, Pritchard may get some game time (Cup games).

I envision Poch's vision going something like this vision of this team's vision from back in the days. Clearly Poch needs so and so X so let's offer him X and even throw in X as an added bonus. With these players I think Poch can truly succeed.
Agree 100% with this. Great analysis mate.
What about including a Y and a Z as well?
yes of course they're just as crucial to what Poch is trying to build
I can't believe we're settling for X, Y and Z when we could go out and get A, B or C. Levy's lack of ambition is killing us!!
Was the mirror
^^Blackbox at work 
Maybe Levy sees buying from Porto as some kind of ultimate challenge..isn't their chairman a cunt too?
Brahimi is a pretty entertaining player. He's like a properly coached Yannick Bolasie with an actual footballing brain. He would definitely fit in quite well with what Pochettino is trying to do. Very clever and high-energy player.
Not sold on Jackson Martinez at all considering his age, experience in European football and the price he would most likely demand. Not worth it imo and we should look for a younger player to compete with Kane.

Bentaleb with the algerian connection?
