Siggy coming back to Spurs?

[thelak]

i would be happy to have Siggy back at the right price. Safe option, reasonable wages, point to prove. high quality back up and minimises and drop off in quality if Alli or Ericksen injured without breaking the bank

 

[chinaman]

I was gutted when he left. His major weakness is his lack of pace. But his vision, movement, finishing and set pieces are all top drawer. He also was a big game player and always seemed to score or assist when it mattered. Something he continued at Swansea. Would love him back!

He is the modern Johnny Giles with a much better shot.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

He left because he wanted to play more. He is very similar player to eriksen and Alli but he's not better than either. Unless he is happy to come back and warm the bench again I doubt this one is gonna happen.

 

[Shadydan]

But why would you want to give him such reign? Why would him being a successful coach means that would manifest into him being a successful manager.

Because believe it or not people tend to learn from their mistakes, if we're gonna continue to trust Poch to manage the team then we'd be at liberty to listen to his wants and needs for the team even if some of those transfers may not work out.

 

[Damian99]

For no more than £5 mill maybe

 

[thecook]

I would be pissed if we signed him again. I don't think he offers anything over any above what we have, with the exception of set pieces - and they are no good sat om the bench.

We need to invest in a but more midfield pace and someone able to beat a man. He doesn't have these qualities.

 

[Turlough McHugh]

Maybe you mean Klaassen. Cillessen is a goalie at Barca.

Yep that's the dude. Far better option. This club is hamstrung with nostalgia. Signing Soggy will be a disaster in my eyes. No more old players

No there are some people who will learn from their mistakes and there are some that do not and never will. And when it comes to transactions on this scale I don't think the club is in position to expose itself to risks of giving reign over this area to an indivual with limited experience or who has shown no discernible talent in that arena. By all means he can be informed and can have input but the overall control should rest with the committee.

 

[Zammo]

I'd be happy if he joined, likewise I won't be disappointed if he goes somewhere else. If I was advising him I'd think that Everton would be a better bet for him. He could be the main man there which I think would suit him better.
I think I'd prefer Zaha as an attacking option.

 

[Johnny J]

I'd prefer Zaha by several orders of magnitude.

100%. We need someone who can beat a man from a standing start.

 

[VegasII]

Silef Gudjorson.

 

[Ossie85]

Why should we trust him? He wanted Osvaldo and was apparatently the driving force behind Sissoko. We don't need a traditional manager structure here. Leave the coaching to him and leave the acquisitions to the transfer structure.

All the managers have signings that fail. ALL OF THEM

Where do you get that he was the driving force behind Sissoko singing?

And due to average tenure of coaches and due to size of the risks involved there are virtually no managers now. There are coaches and transfer committees in order to provide continuity and to mitigate risk. I want the seperation to continue because I find notion of giving control to a coach crazy. As for that article well that is he first, at the time of the signing most articles and rumours on the forums was to the contrary.

There's no separation. There never was. No manager/coach will accept to run a team with players they don't like/want. There are measures of consensus between scouts/coaches. Sometimes Pochettino is the driving force, sometimes our head scout, but I think the final say is from Pochettino, as it should be.
Pochettino is the driving force behind Wanyama signing, which must be the signing of the season in the whole PL. I don't see you complaining about that one

Of course there is a seperation, the existence of the director of football/ transfer demonstrates that. And is ample demonstration of the pitfalls of that model at his club, Santini didn't want Carrick, Jol didn't want Bent and Prince Boateng etc. The point is Pochettinho does not have full control over this area, not should he. And yes you will hear me complain when coaches raid their ex clubs for players, it is a pet hate of mine. I have no issue with Wynnama, good player, it is the absence of imagination and laziness that grates.

Why shouldn't a manager get players from his old clubs? If they're good enough it doesn't matter where they've come from.

As said it is lazy and shows a lack of immagination. It's also the safe approach of trying to surround yourself with those you know.

If a manager knows players he can rely on who are familiar with his system, it makes perfect sense to seek them out.
