Videos surfacing from changing room shows him getting along very well with Serge Aurier. Love the character of this guy, would love to see him improve but fear a transfer is on the cards.

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing how he fares in the pre-season as well as leading into the regular season. With Son having to compete in 2 different competitions this year and potential burn out for all the English players in the WC, he might actually have a sliver of a chance to play and hopefully come good.

Maybe but I think we will just see a lot more of Moura.

Looks to be a really happy dude and is probably a good spirit to have in the locker room, but I would rather stick Josh on the wing in the last minutes of a game than Kevin. He has shown nothing in his time in the PL and it is time to move on.

His goalscoring record for Psg during his last full season was incredible.The only reason he got sold was bcs they bought neymar and Daxler.Dont think a lot of people realize how vital he'll be for us this season especially in Champions league.

Absolutely. He missed so much of last season at PSG it's no surprise he didn't play much of a part for us when he got here. Full pre season and I'd expect him to at least be a rotation player in our front 4.

I totally agree with this. Poch will have a full preseason with Moura and can take the time to determine his best fit to the team. There's no question this lad has an X factor that could make a huge difference in tight games. He's actually the player I'm most excited to see next year in terms of progress. I just hope he will be used more than just a 'super sub'.

Saint Etienne target Spurs player

L’Equipe that Saint Etienne are preparing a move for Georges Kevin Nkoudou. The winger has never solidified his place at Spurs and was put out on loan to Burnley last season.

Jean-Louis Gasset has a good relationship with Mauricio Pochettino from his time at PSG and is hoping to utilise that to land the player.

I like the concept of us letting him leave but not actually knowing if he will or not. Seems very peak Spurs at the moment.

I'm not totally sure about the point of this apart from saving some wage costs. I suppose someone might say that it will help our HG situation if we sign someone in January but, because I have no faith in this happening and still think he hasn't ever really been given much chance, I tend to think we should keep him as a squad option and for League Cup.

Why did we actually put so much effort into signing him as for me he’s never been given a fair crack of the whip really.

If Poch has decided he doesn’t want him and we have no buyers then a Loan is the only option left. Why give him squad place at the expense of another player that we WANT

Absolutely pointless signing it seems. He was stuck waiting for us for ages, and then barely seen once he did sign. What misinformation was there between what Poch wanted and what the scouts/club wanted?

Well, we do get fees for loans as well. And there's always the chance he finds his feet, gets some confidence and then it'd be easier to sell him on... or keep him if he really turns a corner.

If he isnt going to play then its best we get a loan fee and let some other team put him in the shop window.

If Harry had still been in charge I'd have sworn there were brown envelopes involved

Shocking signing in hindsight and I still maintain from what little I/We saw of both is that Clinton N'Jie was much the better player

Some of our scouts clearly need a kick up the ass, unbelievable

Sometimes a player with all the right tools some how doesn't fulfil the potential they show and in this instance the Committee got it wrong. As much as we'd like to see players given a chance on the pitch that just isn't Pochs way.

You show your metal everyday in training and if he hasn't or if he doesn't show the focus and commitment Poch wants they won't be rewarded with match time.

He had match time and was pretty useless. As I stated him and N'Jie had a similar amount of game time and I saw more glimmers of hope from Clinton than I saw from GKN

Poch seems to not want a growing number of our recent transfer purchases.
Either he didn't want them and they were purchased for him or we can't trust in his player selection judgement.
I have a bad feeling Moura is going to be the next on the growing list

We need to sell the like of GKN & Janssen even if we take a hit on them, which we obviously will. If we loan them out we're going to be in exactly the same position next year, having to try and flog them before we can buy anyone

The videos of him posted before he joined weren’t very good. I’ve no idea why we signed him. He didn’t look that good before he joined let alone since.
