There's something curiously satisfying about the sub-head on the Sky Sports website coverage of tonight's match:

"Tottenham looking to reach Champions League last eight for the first time since 2011"

Reach the last eight for the first time in eight years. Fuck me, it was less than fifteen years ago that we were congratulating ourselves on qualifying for the UEFA Cup for the first time through the league.

Now it's assumed that we are likely to be in the Champions League most years and the question is how far we will get.

He went to Dortmund for almost 10m if I remember right, which is a lot of money for an academy player with no first team experience. Given that they'd be reluctant to sell him to us, I suspect we'd have had to pay a massive high-risk fee for him. It's easy to say he would've been worth it now with hindsight but not so easy at the time.
Poch wanted him- city wouldn't sell him to us
