‘Curious’ is a word being used with alarming frequency in respect of Spurs these days. This particular Spurs transfer rumour is not just curious but potentially intriguing.
The Star (suspend your disbelief) say that Manchester United are interested in not just Lucas Moura, but Eric Dier in the January window.
Despite the source, this actually makes sense all round.
Pochettino is drifting and the squad has looked confused since the beginning of the year, let alone the beginning of the season.
Anyone who wants to argue the case that Spurs’ first XI is unshakeably committed to the cause and can’t be bought at any price – has to be talking about Harry Kane only.
Eric Dier is not liked by fans, and has become a perennial sick note.
If Lucas Moura – who Poch clearly lacks faith in – could be swapped for £50million, would the gaffer really block such a deal?
HH Says: Premier League football in the 21st century is an unforgiving mistress. Transfer rumours like this are all too sadly coming our way, in legion.
