Close thread, we know this is BS, Poch doesn't rate him and we're in for Lo Celso
Slow down a bit. None of us really know anything at this point. There’s many different scenarios in where we could be looking at Maddison. Unless you’re ITK?

The Mirror, Express and the Mail are all reporting it as well by the way. I don’t get why people are so dismissive, as if we know what’s going on.

JJ has said in the past Poch doesn't rate him. Express and Mail both say "according to The Mirror" so they are not really reporting it, they are reporting that The Mirror is reporting it (hence why they all share the same headline). David Anderson with The Mirror who wrote the piece doesn't really have a history of Spurs transfer news, not least I can tell, so I think it is fair to be highly skeptical of it.

Obviously none of that means The Mirror is wrong. None of it means we won't end up signing him if he becomes available and Poch has changed his mind. I'm also not a fan of "close the thread" before a player signs a new contract or for a different club but this one needs some better foundation before I think getting too excited is healthy. My onions.

I'm not ITK, but am able to remember that each time his name comes up in the press official ITK states that Poch doesn't want, has happened several times. You and other SC'ers have been surprised by that, but appears to be fact. Same applies to Tielemans.

I suspect Pochs reasons for not wanting him relate to his character more than ability.

He's a good player but I don't want us to sign any player that hates us.
