A source close to the club tells me that Jose Mourinho is finding his own path when it comes to transfer targets at Spurs which may well set him up to emerge from Spurs’ forthcoming dealings if not ahead, then certainly with greater dignity than his predecessor.
Much to the chagrin of the pro Poch/Jose detractors, the Portuguese did not spend weeks negotiating with Daniel Levy before joining us, only to suddenly discover that there was a token transfer budget. Indeed, for those that have paid close attention to Jose’s pressers, we’ve had a steady stream of “I need players” when faced with injuries and “we operate differently” when faced with budgetary controls. Mourinho fully understands the game.
Max Aarons was a mooted target, but Mourinho would be prepared to soldier on with Serge Aurier, certainly for another season. The direction Jose is taking is not one closed to developing players, but the priority is ready to go transfers that can aid immediate results.
The suggestion was also made to me that we might expect movement (be it loans or otherwise) in respect of Academy talent under Mourinho.
Of course you do, thats what I said. I’m a what?
Levy is only 5ft nuffin, so he looks up to everyone.
N£w lan£ l£vy has done
I know more than you you fkin renta, the other side of the fkin world.
Now look here my esteemed shipmates (& Cap’n of course).
I was checking the Hojberg stats last night and what did it for me was this (and I know they play different positions) in 109 apps. for Stains Hoj has been directly responsible for 2 goals against. I can remember Aurier’s last 2 (*rse and Newcash) like bad nightmares – what a free pass for Ritchie.
Also he can’t have been that bad for Stains (sour grapes Le Tiss?) as he has been their captain for nearly 2 seasons.
If we compare Spurs who would we like as Captain – Harry/Toby – get my drift.
I’m glad you are ITK, thank you for letting us know. Now we don’t have to worry anymore. Did they tell you if Eze or Mini Messi will be coming in. Hope so, Marcus has done really well since Poch let him go to find Himself and be a Man not the Boy that Norwich sent back Bc of his attitude. Thanks Poch, hope we don’t let him go for the sell on though. Eze scored a stunner of a goal today, how we wouldn’t be in for him is beyond me, talk is he’s going to Palace, hope not.
Jose to Levy: why don’t you just buy somebody decent for a change.
Lets hope he’ll listen to Jose.
It nice to think that not alone in saying we need more depth in the form of an out and out centre forward. I thought it was just me because levy can’t definitely see it no team in Europe used one central forward in they squad how can you justify selling Janssen and letting go of Llorente and buying no replacement Harry injury was sods law something needed to happen to make Levy understand that a replacement for every position is vital in this day and age. As so I think Mariano Diaz Of real Madrid would be perfect seeing he not even in they squad he would be happy for any game time.
What is worrying me is that once again Kane will be overplayed, getting another serious injury and be out for months. Can we please prioritise striker cover. We’re the only team in Europe to have only one dedicated striker on our books. It’s all very well banging on about how many more defenders or midfielders we can add to our collection, but we have some form of back up in all these positions, we don’t have a back up striker. It badly needs addressing.
Is Troy Parrot the answer? I don’t know, but Jose doesn’t seem to trust him yet.
I take it our interest in Castagne has ended.
Levy never looked up to any of his managers till José arrived. Levy trusts him.
we all know 90% of “linked” players is just made up click bait…however, I don’t have a problem with the club going out to get players that are a risk, especially in areas that are less vulnerable (i.e. we have cover)…but we never go out and get the players we really need or are ready to go…there should be a balance and one thing is for sure, we need a DM and right full back as a minimum…we never replaced Tripps or Rose and need to get rid of Oreo..
Levy to Jose. We’ve been looking at this Korean lad for a bit, take a look and tell me what you think of him. Jose. I know of the lad and he could work for me. Or no thanks he’s $h!£
Another year goes by and another cup that we could’ve won slips into someone else’s trophy cabinet..I would rather finish 4th from bottom and win the FA cup..how bad are Arsenal this season, and Chelsea who are only above average, yet one of them will win another cup….ground-hog day.
Are we to believe Mourinho demanded the Korean lad in the Chinese league?
N£w lan£ l£vy and my manager José. I’ve got your back.
ohh joy, “soldier on” that makes sense 😳…
