Hoddle Is A God said:
Levy will sell Kane if he has a replacement who is as good. But, if there was a replacement that is as good whose club was wiling to sell to Spurs, Real would simply buy him, instead.

Real will be hoping that their tapping-up through the media will unsettle Kane so that he seeks a transfer to them, as both Modric and Bale did. Levy was lenient with Real, on both those occasions, because he believed that Spurs had a "special relationship" with Real. After Real laughed in his face, by selling Woe-zil to Arsenal, and letting us have exactly zero of their players, I rather suspect that Levy will be far tougher this time.

In any event, I think the media, and you poor wums, are grossly under-estimating the Poch-effect, on your players. I think they will all stay for him, as Lloris recently stated was the reason why he stayed.

I am more worried about us losing Poch to Real, after Zidance makes a complete and utter **** up of the coaching role.

.. just like the 'Poch-effect' worked at Southampton then, ... :)

The 'Poch-effect' there had players running for the exit.

They were good players, mostly, spotted by M.P. Or Mitchell, and built into a decent side. They were then poached by bigger clubs. Happens all the time, nothing to do with the manager.

To his credit, he accepted that Levy wouldn't let him go and knuckled down for that year. Better for him anyway, he got Real instead of the Chavs.

Oh I don't know if Real was the better option, he could have ended up nestled up between Charlie Dimmock's busy lizzie's

Well that argument counters the 'poch effect' that HIAG is going on about then.

Which one of your marquee players have you held on to under Levy?

You show me a marquee player that Levy has willingly sold. They were all only sold after putting in transfer requests, and in some cases going on strike to force a move!
All Levy has gone is extract the top price for them.

So he's sold them for what he believes is the right price which is what I said.

He's never done what Everyon did with Stones last summer and simply refused to sell at any price.
 

II meant that they didn't leave because of not liking the manager. They left for their own ambitions - mostly fat wage cheques from the mousers.
Anyway, most of them left after Pochettino had already gone.

Maybe Stones didn't push it hard enough. I suspect he'll be gone very soon anyway.
When players refuse to play for you, or their minds are elsewhere, what's a chairman left to do.
But, none of those players was willingly sold.

What decent player is ever 'willingly sold' ?
 
PISKIE said:
Well that's exactly why the 'poch effect' is meaningless then.

As I said, most left after Pochettino. Some would have willingly joined him at Spurs, but the funds weren't available, apart from Schneiderlin, who Saints flatly refused to let go to us.
