The kiss of death has been softly planted by Pochettino.
Jan is an important player for Tottenham and for us. But a lot of rumours and information and different situations, and for me it’s easy because I don’t read it. Never.”
So he’s gone in January then. The words important and player are only ever wheeled out together in the same sentance when the primadona in question has been found standing on a toilet seat shouting, “I’ll thcream and thcream until I’m thick. I can!”
Perhaps more interestingly, Poch hinted at the way that business has been done at White Hart Lane.
I have enjoyed my four months at Tottenham. We knew when we signed for Tottenham that we expected a tough period.
We are in a very tough period in the club, but when you arrive to a club with big potential like Tottenham, a big club, and have the possibility to build something important, this is a very good challenge for us.
It is impossible for me to speak about previous managers, the previous philosophies, previous ideas.
Two seasons ago, Gareth Bale was here and the club sold him for £100million – now he is not here, there’s no Luka Modric and I don’t know.
Now it is different. The club is different – the club takes another way. I have a clear idea from the club, from the board, and I agree and we need to build something special and Tottenham want to build something special.
It’s my prediction that these words can only come back to haunt one man. Our current chairman.
Either Levy & Co. are going to stop running Spurs like some pariah state, and allow someone to try and build something that actually works at Tottenham, or it will be business as usual.
Meaning Verts and Lloris’ names will be destined to be added to the What Might Have Been XI.
We play Asda Tripolis this evening, a game which may well see Harry Kane unleashed upon the European stage once more. One face I don’t want to see playing for us tonight, is Bobby Soldado.
Let’s save him for The Toon.
