Of course he doesn't.
Well done. You know exactly what mean.
Poch doesn’t want to sign anyone unless there of the highest quality. Those players aren’t available in January.
Of course he doesn't.
The problem at the club is we are avoiding the possibility of failure. Completely ignoring it. Riding our luck. Shouldn't a smart businessman evaluate the obvious and possible risks to us and make a rational decision? So because we're in top 4 atm, we should just relax because it means we will be top 4 at the end of the season? A lot could change.Whilst we are still In the top four. I can fully understand the stalemate. We can’t win the league. We haven’t got the revenue until the new stadium is paying the bucks. We have a short term injury crisis. But we are still in 3 cups. Poch is right in not wanting to A) buy an expensive player who isn’t on his A list. B) spend money he can save until next season. When hopefully we are still in the champions league. And in the new stadium. Yes it’s a gamble. But our form has been good. And we have a squad that’s capable. And a youth squad he can dip into if needed. I actually get this approach. It’s a risk. But I would trust Poch to know his team. And the youth team. And be able to get us through this.

Poch isn’t a businessman and it sounds like his decision.The problem at the club is we are avoiding the possibility of failure. Completely ignoring it. Riding our luck.

Fantastic facility with fantastic staff.Maybe we should run a poll in order to work out what we should do with Hotspur Way. A housing development maybe or what about a shopping centre? Its clearly a pointless investment and we should just model ourselves on west ham and their training facilities....http://www.footballtraininggrounds.com/tottenham.html#
“In 2010, La Masia became the first youth academy to have trained all three finalists for the Ballon d'Or in a single year, with Andrés Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Xavi.” What the fuck do they know....

So what's the excuse for the failure to spend 0 last summer when most prem clubs splashed the cash? Fulham 100m+?And we clearly needed reinforcements?Jesus the way half of you are banging on it's like everyone else in the Prem has splashed the cash in this window.
There's been two deals of note in the Prem, Pulisic who was loaned straight back and Solanke to Bournemouth. That's it.
It's always been difficult to get real quality in January, Poch isn't going to get people in just for numbers as in March when everyone is fit again they won't even be making the bench if they're not up to standard and then we're left with another player on the wage bill taking up space in the squad.
If you can't trust DL and/or Poch when we've been third all season despite the injuries and despite the stadium situation then you need to have a word with yourself.

Oh I really think there are very few that will dismiss the huge improvements made in infrastructure or who disagree with trying to bring through some youth players of a good quality.Maybe we should run a poll in order to work out what we should do with Hotspur Way.

Some of you guys are hilarious. Here we are in the itk thread, with actual posts by the person who has the most proven track record of providing itk of all, and you're just completely ignoring it and the message it gives, because you want to have a cry about something.
Worse, you're ignoring what Poch himself has said. Because obviously your random thoughts make way more sense than his actual knowledge of the situation.
The club isn't falling apart, Daniel Levy isn't failing to back Poch, we don't need to sign expensive players just because other clubs do, we are still on track- ahead of schedule, even- for the long term plan that has always been in place. We cannot compete financially with Man City, we will not pay extortionate agent fees like Liverpool -and rightly so, we do have an excellent academy and a manager who has the ability to use it for the long term benefit of the club.
Honestly, the way some of you go on it's as if you'd like us to behave like West Ham. Because making expensive signings has worked out so well for them, eh.

Where are Fulham in the league. Money well spent.So what's the excuse for the failure to spend 0 last summer when most prem clubs splashed the cash? Fulham 100m+?And we clearly needed reinforcements?
Yeah but if it was us spending that money obviously we would be buying higher quality players because we're more attractive.Where are Fulham in the league. Money well spent.
Some of what this guy is smoking pls.... Did you just compare our academy with La Masia? Even with that fantastic source of players, FCB never stopped adding quality to boost their ranks from outside. Even at that, there are huge concerns at FCB that they are no longer producing the same level of quality as before. More and more of their young players are being shipped out not making the grade. Still making a profit cause they are Barca kids but not necessarily boosting the first team. We can’t really claim to be making the same sort of income from castoffs, usually can’t get rid of them....
Did Man United have the class of 92 and just think that was super? No, they added star quality on top of that whenever they could and improved. And won things.
