Sorry CK,
Simple fact is we can't afford to have players sitting around collecting 30-60k a week who are not going to feature.
We are not Man City.
Pochettino may feel our youngster are good enough, I don't know.
One thing is certain, Levy is not selling the players unless the manager wants them to be sold. We would not be selling them if the manager wasn't having his replacements, either from signings our from within.
If Levy is refusing to buy players and balancing the books selling players the manager wants in the squad then he ( Pochettino) will be off.
Why didn't Pochettino state in Australia that Mason & Chadli, as well as Pritchard, Bentalaeb and Fazio, were not in his plans?
If they were not in his plans we should have been touting them around earlier.
Depends on how may players you want in the squad and how many you can pay.

Problem is that will only happen in the EFL cup. We can't rest players for the CL.
N'Jie is still in the first team squad on the official site as well.
Lauren Moyes' bedroom?
The left wing?
You decide...
Many of those are under £20-30 mil - which highlights my exact point. It's alright saying we signed good players on the cheap - we have. And how many real quality signings have we made, of established world class players?
Out of that list there's 1 - VDV. (Before you say Bale he was a 17 year old kid who wasn't that expensive).
It's alright saying "We can't sign his wages, no CL football" etc etc but even when we have been able to provide that (this year) there's not been any real progression in terms of quality targets.
I was only talking about it as an option, Joe.
Might be particularly useful if we're leading and want to kill off a team at the end of the match.
Or squad rotation for those four competitions we'll be playing.

The point was we did not have the fan base to fill a larger stadium prior to the ENIC revival. Even then it's taken them nearly 10 years to get us from mid table to pushing the top 4. We were once a big club however have been over taken by the financially doped Chavs and City. We cannot compete with them when it comes to expenditure. We have had to do it the hard way of building our squad over years to become competitive. We cannot go out in one window and spunk £100m+, discounting the Bale anomaly for spending.
And I wasn't being entirely serious.I was only talking about it as an option, Joe.

I have absolutely no idea how you extracted any of that from my post.
That dodges the narrative of us selling Chadli, Pritchard and possibly Njie.
Now our only AM's are:
Eriksen, Lamela, Alli, Onomah, maybe Son and...Kane? Far as I'm aware that's literally it. 5-6 players covering spots over a year in 3-4 comps? Isn't gonna go well
Like an ex girlfriend who just won't take the hint
He seems to have forgotten that Barca aren't afraid of spending tens of millions on top quality players like Suarez..
Don Giovanni
care to explain why you disagree with Spurs denying every bid for Son and me thinking he is very much needed?Indeed, while Barca is mainly focussed on having a core of their own youth players, they are quite willing to spend big to fill a hole in the squad that can't be solved by using a youth player at that point in time.
Agree with this 100%. We have a good squad no doubt, and I like the two signings we have made. However, I think we are missing a trick to push on with signing a player of real quality. If not now then when?
I highly doubt Isco will come to fruition but that is exactly the type of player we should be targeting to push us on.
Are we still signing Isco, i am out of the loop
If so i will personally offer my virgin butt-cheeks to Levy and undergo extensive waxing to improve his pushing experience
