Njie said "Here I will evolve under the orders of Mauricio Pochettino, a coach who plays youngsters and progresses. Thursday, after my arrival in London and medical tests, he greeted me with the president, Daniel Levy, to tell me he hoped I would be available as soon as possible.

Good lad.

It's also good that Poch said he wants him available as soon as possible cos it suggests he wants him playing ASAP. We could've done with him coming off the bench yesterday to stretch the Stoke defence and be a menace which I'm confident he will be.

He's well aware we need pace and penetration in certain areas. N'jie will see minutes in the next game imo.

No idea if this is true or not as I'm certainly not ITK. However, one thing that bothered me when we were linked with him was that no other club seemed to want him so I wondered if he was any good. I'd like to believe this story as it would reassure me he's a good player.

So if no one else is interested in a player they aren't any good? Seriously? I'd rather we unearth gems and hidden talents that no one else is interested in not heard of.

I get your point, however we seemed to have no competition for Lloris either despite him being France captain at a reasonable price. And he has done alright! Lol.

Although some people may rate him as a very good attacker, i personally see him as a pacey raw attacker who still has more more skill to train/show

Does this mean we will see less of Lemela if so great!

I think we should go for Pedro, your namesake. There was a very good article about him by John Carlin.

No 'big' teams came in for Modric or Berba except us. Doesn't really mean that much to be honest. The wealthier teams, i guess tend to pay over the odds on established proven stars.

Play FIFA15... You will very quickly realise how slow Spurs really are. I have to play Yedlin and Townsend in attack... Imagine how poor Poch must feel!!!

Well we shall soon know if we have a gem or wish the arse were successful in hijacking him. I hope he is the former and the player we all want. Welcome to Spurs Clinton.

Bigger fish are after Pedro I would imagine.
Oh, I'm sure of that, but we would be able to offer him game time and it's the year before the next European Championship. I'm not sure that ManU can do that. He would be like a VDV signing, but less injury prone and without a dodgy partner. As has been mentioned elsewhere, Cambiasso for one season would be good.
I just watched Inside Out, which is a magnificent film. Based on it, I reckon many Spurs fans have only have Anger, Fear and Disgust inside their heads.
We're above Chelsea:ROFLMAO: They may need some therapy, but there isn't a doctor in the house.
