The Man From Sheffield, He Say ‘Poch Might Have His Hands Full!’

By The Boy -

I like Neil Warnock. talkSPORT did this live thing on Christmas Day from his family home a few years ago. Was it called ‘Walking In A Warnock Winter Wonderland’?

The title’s neither here nor there. What was warming was how he was with his wife and kids and how decent they all came across.

As football manager I am sure there will be a good number of you wiling to casually debase the man based on naff all. Good luck to you. Knock yourselves out.

Anyhow, here’s some transcript of what Warnock said about Spurs target Ross Barkley. For those of you who are utterly convinced that Warnock AND Barkley are agents of Beelzebub this will be your perfect bile storm.

“I had Ross at Leeds, and he’s an unbelievably good pro. He comes in first thing and he takes free kicks until it goes dark, he trains all the time.

“But as a manager you can’t really find a system you can trust him in. It’s a really difficult with him, because he still loves to turn and take players on in his own half and often loses it.

“He hasn’t got the responsibility in his make-up regarding as and when to do it, he just does it when he feels like it. I don’t think you can change him in that.

“I think he’d be a super player for a club like Spurs. I think he could be a top five player…but for a certain manager.

“It’ll be a difficult one for the manager who gets him, in how to play him at that level with the responsibility you have to have when you play the top teams.

“You have to have that discipline in your game and unfortunately Ross doesn’t have that, but he makes up for it by scoring unbelievable goals. But I don’t think Koeman has ever been that type of manager who can tolerate somebody who is that ill-disciplined in certain aspects.”

Has Poch got what it takes to tame this wide-eyed, unhinged Scouser?

Have Tottenham got the balls to sign someone with balls?
