The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The 19 edition 26th May 2014

Who: The Goat
When: 26th May
Where: SC
We've been told that Poch is "all sorted contract-wise" and we're just finalising terms with Southampton.
It'll be a 3 year deal with a further 1 year option. He'll also bring in 3/4 of his backroom staff.

Dear Goat,

If you haven't yet retired to the paddock for tonight, do you mean that Pochettino will:

a) bring in three-quarters of his backroom staff; or
b) bring in 'three to four' of his backroom staff?

Ta muchly.

So gutted we didn't get FDB, but Lovren will help soften the blow if he somehow gets signed as a result. I've rated him for a while.

Dont get the lovin for lovren, looked poor in the few matches ive seen him

That's ok mate, you'll learn to recognise talent at some point....

I'm kidding!! Sorry. I see loads of potential in him and I reckon a partnership with Verts will bring him on even more.

This schar character must be pretty tasty .. Swiss hardly conceded goal in qualifying and pops up with few goals himself .. Handy trait to have in your locker .. Just can't see Southampton players all leaving

I would guess 3 or 4. As 3/4 would be a huge overhaul.

If some of them are inclined to stay, I'd suspect it'd be the ones who came through the academy. Lovren has no reason to be loyal to them, and so I think would be one of the more likely players to leave.

Can I start the Pochettino Out thread yet?

I am shocked this isn't started and on page 100 yet....

Start it at end of week when poch reviews matches n season past and asks the baldy one for a few quid !! That will start the process

Will have to agree to disagree on this one, we have enough defenders with mistakes that need ironing out. What we need is soild experienced leader next to verts/Chiriches/Kaboul imo

 

[Greenspur]

Mourinho? Pellegrini? Wenger?

To be fair, apart from Whinger, they walked into a billionaire's team. Whinger walked into an almost completed team, with a solid, solid defense.

Ok, here we go again then.

All the best mopo

I was serious... [read more like three quarters to me]

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

good luck to Pochettino.

I hope he does the business.

welcome to our amazing club

Fixed..........................

I also read it as three quarters.

How many back room staff does a manager have? Maybe it's one & the same!

 

[cabinfever]

Can I start the Pochettino Out thread yet?

I was waiting for the official announcement before starting it.......

 

[Greenspur]

you should know you sniffed them

Oh, no I didn't.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

I don't recall an occasion in my time as a member or 2 years as a lurker where JJ has been wrong, of course something could have happened this afternoon, but if JJ says something then its as good as gospel

I'm certain he said Villa had signed.
