Alisdair Gold from football.London reported that Poch was asked about Rabiot and he flatly denied any interest.
Hope it's rubbish TBH.. self important twat who thinks he is too good for us so as soon as a "big" club comes sniffing if he does well he will demand to go.

No quotes or proof he said we are beneath his standard here, only `a source close to Rabiot` which probably means it`s made up nonsense.
There’s no denying Rabiot comes across a bit of a big time Charlie but in fairness to him, there hasn’t been any actual proof that he said those exact words. One article was written and then a number of others copy and pasted it onto their sites to make it look credible, yet there’s nothing quoted from the horses mouth.
Plus, would he say such a thing when two of his former team mates recently done the exact same move? He wouldn’t just be dissing Spurs with those quotes, he’d be mugging off Moura and Aurier too.
Finally, for all the personality problems we feel he has, he’s (so far) donated the second highest amount towards the search for Sala on the reported Go Fund Me page with £25k, only Mbappé (£30k) has given more, can’t be that bad of a person.
We probably won’t even sign him anyway but I think it’s best to give the benefit of the doubt, at least until there’s actual evidence of him saying those supposed words, we all know how the media likes to **** stir, especially with Spurs.
Part of that due diligence must surely involve his mother/agent somehow forgets to board the plane in Paris...Yeah I think we have to give him the benefit of the doubt if he was to come, until proven otherwise. It's a headline that is easy clickbait - because its us - so it is no surprise that it did the rounds. I doubt we would be going near him if we thought he was that bad an apple because Poch won't stand for it, and he has four easy character references to draw on from Aurier, Sissoko, Moura and Lloris, all of whom must know him in some capacity. Not to mention the wider due diligence that I'm sure is done in regard to character when players are recruited these days.

Agreed. It’s a pretty insane claim which I doubt he’s saidNOBODY should be guaranteed a place in ANY Spurs starting XI
without having played a single game for the club.
To be fair, if Jurgen Klinsmann started on the bench no jury in the country would have convicted those who lynched Ossie Ardiles...NOBODY should be guaranteed a place in ANY Spurs starting XI
without having played a single game for the club.

Apparently Leicester are in talks with Monaco for Youri Tielemans.
He’s one I think we should be looking at.
