Interesting piece here in Cartilage Free Captain, composed from post match chat after the Roma game.
Daniel Levy has chimed in, saying that the club “can produce our own players,” and therefore “don’t have to go and spend £20, £30 million, £40 million on a player.”
Pochettino said he “didn’t hear” Levy’s comments, and was surprised when he heard them at the press conference. He did say that he “didn’t hear that from him in private” about the chairman’s opinion, though he might now ask Levy about it.
If true (and it’s difficult to reason why anyone would bother to invent it) then this could prove awkward.
There’s world of difference between nurturing and championing the Development Squad players – and being told THAT’S YOUR LOT.
Cartilage Captain have an assortment of post match quotes from other players and this looks immensely credible.
I wonder if Poch is going to ask Levy how big the knitting needles are, if he’s supposed to knit his own players then he’ll need big ones.
