Olallana Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 A couple of days back, I told people to keep their eyes peeled for a late in the day Loan (RB). I've been told (roughly 10 mins that are trying to complete a move for today, but it may have to wait until Monday. Only announcing on sat/sun if the press or twitter get wind of it. Thats all i have to say for now, I might have to smiley later! So, someone incoming that hasn´t been mentioned at all in press or twitter you say?

Pastor Patrón Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Wh would we be, we have our own academy, don't think we pay for our entrants actually. Then it doesn't stop there, the parents are always after hand outs as well. Look at Neymar, his father creamed off about 40 million from Barcelona at the end of the day and their poor old chairman is in the crap over it with the Spanish justice. So that's a no I take it?

Window Cleaner Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Poch as a coach is outstanding, personally, feelings aside, koeman has a lot to do for me to consider him to be at the same level. The way poch set a team up to trigger the press so effectively was a wonderful thing to watch from someone who is currently trying to coach pressing into players. I think, given time, he'll get Spurs into the CL again. And eventually end up at a top club the system has certainly done wonders at Marseille, Bielsa himself of course not one of his disciples. However it has kind of led to the depart of a 30 year old not very solid player who brought them something else. No room for players like Valbuena in Bielsa systems apparently, still he want a last big move anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Why would we be, we have our own academy, don't think we pay for our entrants actually. we do pay for some of our academy entrants. Lallana, Best, Blackstock and most recently Neal Osborn (£40k up front, potential to be £1.3m in total) were all bought in. Maybe not £12m, but how much was Lallana's sell on to Bompey in the end?

Window Cleaner Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Guan is much more circumspect lately. He hasn't said so but i think his os has been upgraded to v2.1 Windows 2.1 was a vast step forward from 2.0, allowed use of 80286 and 80386 processors. Most of you won't remember it though, it was back in the late 80s. Think it was the first you needed a hard disk for as well, you know a solid base instead of just floppys. W2.1 was the first version that I ever had at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Poch has had one stand out season, which faded notably. Koeman has a long pedigree of being right up there. Not comparing apples with apples for me. in the Dutch league, we shall see what his systems and tactics bring in the cut and thrust of the PL. The two leagues aren't really comparable. Wish we'd had one game against tough opponents to date because we've just played junk so far. All might be rosy but if we find we're miles off the mark against Bayer then we have a real situation on our hands. Unlikely but one real game out of 6 might have helped.

I think, given time, he'll get Spurs into the CL again. And eventually end up at a top club He was good but had too many flaws to be outstanding. Yes he seemed to get the players to buy into his methods and ideas very effectively and the tactics worked a lot of time, certainly usually in the first half. However he was too much of a slave to Bielsa's ideas and wouldnt / couldnt adapt when things werent working. He also bought poorly and failed to integrate signings well and most notably didnt pace the team, meaning we faded badly as the games wore on.

SNSUN Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 I'd love it if the signing were completed today, whoever it is. Although at the moment, a centre back is clearly the priority. Starting the season with Fonte and Yoshida with Jos as back up does not inspire confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkeith Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Now Bertrand has signed, it looks like left back is covered, so maybe we are looking at a CB/RB instead ?
