No, Mauricio was there. He just left the interview to Perez as his voice hadn't travelled to Barnsley.
So with none of Dean Hammond, Lee Barnard, Tadanari Lee, Billy Sharp, Jonathan Forte, Aaron Martin surely all will be pushing for a move by the end of the window? When they are not even in the squad for a League Cup game against lower opposition they know that they are not going to play this season.
None of them have squad numbers, and we know all will move on this season either on loan or permenently. They are simply well below the standard we need now but all will find championship or L1 sides.
There was a pre-match interview on the Saints player [WBA or Sunderland] where this question was asked. According to Pochettino, they are not part of the club's plans and are being assisted in finding other clubs to play for, or they are making their own plans. Club interpreter David Salas even forgot Dean Hammond's name while translating the question, asking the questioner.. Did you say Phil..?
Shameful. He was a pillar of strength for us in L1/Champ. All of these players should be going to good champ teams, surely we can do something to speed up their transfers?
Bournemouth have signed Malmo's South Africa international Tokelo Rantie subject to gaining a work permit & international clearance. A fee of £2.2m.
Wow, that has got to be their biggest ever transfer I guess? I haven't heard of him. Are they taking a bit of a gamble there? EDIT: Quote from his Wiki page - "Tokelo Anthony Rantie (born 8 September 1990) is a South African footballer who currently plays for English Dorset Premier side Hamworthy Recreation and the South Africa national team." Think someone has been having a laugh! And now its - "Tokelo Anthony Rantie (born 8 September 1990) is a South African footballer who currently plays for English Premier League side in waiting AFC Bournemouth and the South Africa national team."
The Independent are reporting that Leighton Baines has asked Everton for a transfer to Manchester United. Ouch.
Well what does he expect Everton to do? Accept United's ****ty offer. Everton won't sell unless United make a serious offer.
Been a pretty successful summer for spurs I'd say; Paulinho, Soldado, Chadli, Capoue, Lamela and change is not a bad swap for Bale. Think Levy and Baldini are co-writing the textbook on how to lose your best player.
MirrorSport understands that Lazio midfielder Hernanes , Valencia's Ever Banega and one other playmaker have been contacted by Spurs with a view to a quick move. Hernanes has so far refused to sign a new contract in Rome, and while Lazio president Claudio Lotito is reluctant to let his man go, the Brazil international is keen for pastures new. "Until today no one has knocked on our door for Hernanes," Lotito told Corriere dello Sport. "Getting rid of Hernanes is not our intention; we intend to keep him." Dutch media think the other midfielder is Christian Eriksen, wtf is it with Spurs and Chelsea buying midfielders
