Poch doesn't make mistakes with his interviews and he is very calculated.
Like the time he said Spurs want to sell Kane?

He expects signings and so should we.
I am asking the same question myselfMaybe I've missed something, but why are so many on here so adamant that N'jie is off?
Wouldn't surprise me at all if we've identified a young player who could fulfill some of what dembele offers, or at least someone who would be the more progressive of the Cm 2. You have to be opportunistic, so if a young player, on our list etc, is gettable now you make your move.
I KNOW I KNOW this belongs in a different thread, but Pochettino is the least calculated media personality we've had since Redknapp. Come to think of it, this IS the right thread considering all the ITK coming straight from Pochettino in the media this days.Poch doesn't make mistakes with his interviews and he is very calculated.

JJSo, rhetorical question, I just wonder if the 'signing' is GKN, or like everyone else seems to, he is considering that one already done and means there will be another one?
He talks about signings "in the next few weeks", doesn't sound to me as though GKN is the last one, even if it is just poor use of pluralisation.
Although the post from JJ seems to suggest different. Who knows.
I've been trying to think who this one could be. I'd guess it'd be a youngster. Either way I don't think any of us in here have a clue and it's best we don't all start guessing random players in here!I wonder how that 'mystery' player from Spain fits into all this...
I am asking the same question myself
JJ always knows how to piss on the bonfire of hope
Now I've gone from thinking "Great we might be looking to really push on"
To "Oh shit, are they not giving Poch the backing he wants...."
That's because your imagination is getting the better of you, and you(like so many others) are trying to read too much into every scrap of ITK and media speculation.

Yes but then last season was quite unique in many ways. Chelsea capitulated and that had a massive bearing. Utd were fairly poor with LVG getting the sack, Arsenal weren't that amazing either for large parts of the season and City also struggled.I know everyone is getting addicted to transfer rumours and actual transfers, myself included.
But please stop for a second, and think about last year: we signed Toby as an upgrade and a couple of squadplayers. How did that work out? We were on track to 6. Or 7. Place. We got third.
Its definately not certain we will finish top 4 next season, but we really do OWE poch to trust him in what he does.
And we have absolutely no divine right to finish in the top 4, that would be another incredible achievement.
We Are in a place were we finished third last season with the youngest squad and best manager. Others would die to be in our position. And what should a team finishing third with the youngest squad not do? A massive overhaul...
I still Get those who say a "star player" is what we need to show intent. But Its not a must for us...
I guess we hope that the plural used by Poch in signings was a lingual mistake, and it's not a scenario where he is actually hoping for/expecting a player than isn't going to materialise.
Not the best turn of phrase to start a post in here..Not ITK related, but lots of rumours going round this morning that Mourinho is considering selling Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
I must admit I'd be very surprised if that was the case, but if it was, that's a player I think we should go all out (within reason, obviously!) to get.
Still only 18, a ridiculous athlete in every way, good technique, two footed and genuinely capable of playing in multiple positions
I think this kid's a star of the future
