Good evening.
Gladys tells me that she is giving serious consideration to quitting social media.
She thought a Dick pic was musical; where a chimney sweep wooed an English nanny, or where professor made Toot Sweets and travelled in a flying car.
Anyway, word just in that Benjamin Stambouli is close to joining Premier League new boys Watford.
Watford could well und up doing a bit of Hull City and taking a brace of misfits off our hands.
Younes Kaboul’s name has also been mentioned, but Glad’s understanding is that our captain’s (no laughing please) future movements are more difficult to predict.
Any move is likely to be a permanent one, opposed to a loan.
If a deal between the clubs can be done, then if are to believe Daniel Levy’s Facebook Q&A line that the manager’s always have the final say on players – this is Pochettino’s first flop.
But of course, the truth is not that straightforward. Nothing at Spurs ever is.
The coach asks for Player A, the chairman offers Player C – or nothing, and the coach green lights the deal.
This is almost exactly one million miles away from a coach specifically asking for Player C.
So, terms agreed, if this goes through is anyone’s guess.
What do have though, is another waste of everyone’s time and money purchase that we are now mopping up.
