They sell all of their best players, I guess they have to move on to have any chance of success. You can hardly blame them really.

It's a shame they've become known as a selling club.

How's Sterling going to go this year?

Any club in their right mind would sell him for 49mil <ok>

Especially as he didn't want to play for us anymore <laugh>

The last big sale we made was Bale. Explain the difference. Quite a pattern developing with your best players not wanting to play for you anymore.

The difference being players go to Spurs as they know it's a good 'stepping stone' - whereas they come to the mighty Liverpool to be great. Yes Sterling and Suarez were sold. But both had to leave the club with how they behaved. Whereas players like Bale, Modric et al. simply outgrew the 'Juggarnaut' that is Spurs <laugh>
 
I remember that season, not so long ago, when every time 'Pool went for a player, Levy stepped in an nicked him. Levy did that because he could.

No wumming, just fact.
 
What happened to all those players?

Thanks to Levy we dodged quite a few bullets - for that I can only be thankful.
 
I don't know, to tell you the truth. They couldn't all have been bad, could they?

Well Dempsey scored the winner at Old Trafford for us after way too long and Siggy is a top PL player. Has shown that more at Swansea than us to be fair, but played his part.

I smell the fear, already! And Poch is only just revving the engine; you wait to hear what it sounds like when Poch gets that beast a-rolling, and shifts it into top gear! You'll piss your pants!

Ahhhh but can he read the road sign?

Fck it, can he even reach up and see the road sign?

Literally and figuratively looks like a car crash waiting to happen.
 
I think it all comes down to Poch getting the team he wants, and that team playing the way that Poch likes to play, namely the high-pressing game that worked so well for him at Saints, but with the depth of quality that we have at Spurs.

I like what Poch wants to achieve at Spurs, but he's up against an ethos that we've been saddled with at Spurs since all the time that I've been supporting them, which is to work off flair and the skills of a talented midfield. Under Poch, we've got to evolve into a proper team, one in which all players work for one another, and in which fitness is a massive feature.

If Poch can change the Spurs ethos - just by a few degrees - yet still keep something of the flair, then he'll be fantastic for us, and we will achieve great things. If he can't do that, then Levy will use him as a scape-goat, and we'll be thrown back into the quagmire from which we've been struggling to escape for the last 4 decades.

I really do want Poch to succeed, and I hope that Levy backs him, by allowing Poch to get the team that he needs to do what Poch wants.

I can just imagine the little Poch sitting in that cabin, his feet not reaching the pedals and arms unable to cover the steering wheel, looking very confused while trying to unwrap a Yorkie bar.

That for me pretty much symbolises his tenure in charge of the spuds next season.

When you refer to the success Poch had at Saints do you mean a league finish lower than Koeman despite the fact that Koeman had to sell half his first team?
