If that is the case, Poch failed to get better kids into the academy.
And with his own pet project bought Juan Foyth for £10m, failed to develop him properly so when he made his debut 2 years later gave away 2 pens , lasted another year or two playing a total of 14 games before being sold. So complete failure to develop a player
Meanwhile one of the players Poch sold for a song, Milos Veljkovic, played CB for Werder Bremen when Kane made his debut for Bayern. World Class ? No but good enough to have played 200 times for Werder Bremen and a regular for Serbia National Team ........ so probably could have been an HG squad player for us.
But with Poch attitude to developing youth a few good ones left early so they could develop elsewhere, Madueke is a classic example - Spurs u16 captain - who could have stayed rather than being a 35m or 40m acquisition for Chelsea
Think that offer was a straight loan not an obligation.
Maybe Hojbjerg is as unhappy with a deal that will send him back to Spurs next summer as Spurs are?
I could imagine him wanting future certainty in any deal, that wouldn't be totally unreasonable.

That would be ideal IMO. Skipp wouldn't nearly as good in possession, but out of possession he should be just as good (if he can find a bit of form again)
Aren’t you the same bloke was spammed the board non-stop about how horrible VDV was and what a mistake it would be to buy him?
Not sure you’re my go-to poster for scouting.
guess he thinks loan signing (even with an obligation) are for players not really wanted by anyone. What his precious fails to realise, is it's often used to circumvent FFP, etc.
Not a 6 though.
I don’t hate Gallagher for long term squad building over PEH
I don't think that's right is it ?
Surely you can have all 25 HG, it's a minimum number not a maximum.
Premier League 25-Man Squad Rules
A Premier League squad can contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfill the “Homegrown Player” criteria. The remainder of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be homegrown. Changes to the squad list may be made during the period of a transfer window.

Why are all our deadwood being so difficult? Bet they've had a little talk between the "leadership group" and decided to dig their heels in.
And you get the double PR benefit of claiming the spend now for your fans, then claiming it again as part of net spend when you actually pay it.
Like how Spurs try to pretend their net spend is so huge by counting Kulu and Porro buys, even though they touted those as big spending back when we bought them.
I’m pretty sure that report is off the mark, it seems the issue is that Atletico just submitted a loan without an obligation to buy.
I don’t think PEH is the one turning that down I’m pretty sure Levy is the one telling them no.
Lol Keane and Neville are going to absolutely destroy him on live TV and he'll be back in January.
That makes more sense.
No, he doesn’t. You’ve been insisting on this for the entire window. The same as you insist that Tosin wants to come to us. I can’t help wondering if you are being deliberately obtuse.
It’s been repeatedly stated that he intends to run down his contract and go abroad. He would be OPEN to a continental loan. If he doesn’t want the pretty seaside town of Bournemouth, do you think he wants to go to fucking Burnley?
I think he'll still get picked for Denmark, even if all he has is 20-minute cameos.
