    His work rate and application seems to be questionable. Koeman was always on his case. Poch won't stand for that but maybe a manger like poch is what he needs?
    There's definitely ability there

    The press releases were very ominous I thought. We heard about an operation , we heard he had back problems, then a hip problem, then that he was going back to Roma to where he was more settled or some shyte like that, then he was back again and a second operation and now we are being told October?

    TBH I was thinking that the medical staff think it is all in his head. Not good at all.

    So it's on the record that we are not going to even try to compete with our rivals when it comes to wages.

    So whats realistic this summer... Barkley, Zaha, Sakho?

    I was kinda hoping we might make a move for Maherz or even Vardy, but both could quite easily sign for club more than willing to pay in excess of 120k per week wages.

    I wouldn't want either of them at the club. They showed their true colours during the Ranieri debacle as far as i'm concerned. I know not everyone agree's, and it turned out well for the club, but that sort of behaviour is disgraceful imo. Like Hazard the year before last at Chelsea.

    As for who we do sign, it'll be backup for the first squad with some young potential stars. Really can't see us doing much business at all.

    We need a striker, cover for tripper if Walker leaves and a clever attacking midfielder as an alternative to Erikson or Alli. Possibly some cover in the middle of defence and an out and out winger if this debacle with Lamela continues and Sissoko is a stocking of sh1te

    Hopefully we get our business wrapped up before transfer deadline day for once anyway.

    As things stand I would like to see a new CB added. We regularly play a back 3 with Dier in there, so an addition there would leave Dier as first reserve for CB and DM.

    We also need more cover in the attacking third. I've seen Josh King linked, and that type of player makes sense. Much like Son he would provide cover for Kane but also give us another option in the attacking midfield positions.

    I would be fairly meh regarding Barkley. He fits our habit of finding value in players whose contract is winding down, and he is talented, but I could see him being another Bentley.

    If one if the full backs leave then they would require replacing. Sessegnon at Fulham has been linked, and he along with Walker-Peters would provide good options if Walker or Rose left in a years time.

    Getting rid of Sissoko should also be a priority.

    Can anyone advise on what type of to youth talent we have coming through?
    By reports, Onomah played well in the World Cup in a deeper midfield position so he could be worth persevering with.
    Marcus Edwards was highly rated a year ago, any word on him?

    Edit: Also, irregardless of position I think we could do with adding a bit of experience. Doesn't really fit our current philosophy, but someone who is used to winning trophies on a consistent basis in a big team environment. Carrick, if he was a few years younger would be the type of player I have in mind.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Poch promotes a raft of youth team players instead of making signings. The likes of Walker-Peters, Carter-Vickers, Onomah, Winks, and Edwards could all get more game time next season.

    I like the idea of Barkley (maybe Im the only one!). He was the next big thing a couple of years ago. Maybe Poch is the man to get the best from him. He is clearly talented and he is also experienced even at a young age. At worst he is good cover for Alli.
    Would have a similar view about Zaha. Was really impressed with him last year. Think he has finally matured into the player he promised a few years back. In a similar way to Bale he has bulked up hugely and is now very strong as well as fast and tricky.

    I'd be a bit sad to see Vinny go, still think there's about a 35% chance he'll come good. Maybe it'll be a loan?

    A loan would be the perfect scenario. Five minute run out is pointless, I'd love him to prove the doubters wrong.

    Antonio Conte is furious at the Chelsea board after #thfc hijacked their move for Fernando Llorente.

    Safe to say he'll never make it at Spurs unfortunately, he's just not good enough. He wouldn't improve any decent team in the premiership imo on what I've seen of him.

    I think Brighton might've been a good loan for him if he's to have a chance of making it in England. Pity. Hope he does well in Turkey but if he does we'll probably sell him anyway.

    Probably move to Barcelona via China in a couple of years.


    All joking aside. You'd have to wonder about some of our purchases in the Poch Era... Not saying that poch is to blame but we have bought some lemons in the last few seasons. N'jie, ndouko, Janssen, Sissoko, Fazio. Think Wimmer came under AVB or Sherwood.
