titch juicy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Welcome MO PO. 5 year deal, I give him til Christmas.Hopefully he'll help kickstart Lamela and Soldado's spurs careers and bring some of the young talent through- particularly Alex Pritchard.Vertonghen has committed to the cause, hopefully Lloris and Eriksen will do the same.

Jah Lush Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Have you seen Alex Pritchard? He's about 4ft 7ins.Rather pleased with the appointment. I like the cut of his jib. Just hope Levy gives him time.

titch juicy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I've seen him play a handful of times in the flesh for Tottenham youth- an exceptional prospect. How tall is Messi? No, I'm not comparing them.This isn't a bad highlights reel of his youth career and Swindon loan last season.

maxxi Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So Harry is lining up Rio, Joe Cole and Morrison - they should all be at UP - yes Rio's old and slow(er) but could sort things at the back - the old way of experience in tandem with youth would have been a good thing. S'pose I have to get used to muscle in tandem with muscle.

Otta Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Think this guy could be the one. He'll play positive football which is what they want and need.Roy Keane to Celtic would help to feed his ego I suppose. Couple of guaranteed titles to make him look good before coming back and failing in England again.

El Pibe Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 it goes through lulls, and god knows we've been responsible for predicting 'this time..'I mean there's plenty of life in it, its just there's not alot interesting to engage which is giving us regulars apathy which has crept here too.I mean Glazer dead and nary a peep?!?Anyway, come the world cup hopefully we'll all cheer up a bit!!

StraferJack Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 And I meant it with love, not scorn reallyIf I was a spurs fan I would be excited about this appointment too. But would I be confident? A great job at Southampton to be sure (although he inherited a pretty good squad), and there have been boardroom shenanigans to navigate there as well but, but.Levy + a not majorly experienced manager at top level? Could turn out to be another Brendan Rodgers* or could turn out to be yet-another-spurs-manager* I harbour some doubts as to wether Brendan Rodgers will be so well regarded this time next year Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/119/#findComment-750822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Being a Spurs fan - it's the hope that kills you. Every season is the same. For every up there's a down.

Mick Mac Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Personally I think the jury is out on Roy Keane - he failed at Ipswich but got a promotion at Sunderland. I'm not sure I want him but I'd prefer him to Coyle who turned it down before. Other more ambitious targets are also likely to say no. In the 1980s Celtic were finishing 4th and 5th in Scotland - the job has to be done and done well. Only fools take success for granted. Keane's bumpy ride Sept 2006: Inspires Sunderland to a 2-1 win over Derby in his first game as manager.March 2007: Leaves three players behind when they are late for team bus to Barnsley.April 2007: Carlo Edwards scores a great winner over Burnley to put Keane on course for promotion and title.April 2008: Premier League survival ensured with a 3-2 win over Middlesbrough.Oct 2008: Sunderland fans dance in thestreet as they beat Newcastle for the first time in 25 years.Nov 2008: Keane says he may quit after abject 4-1 defeat by Bolton. He walks away four days later. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/119/#findComment-750833 Share on other sites More sharing options...

grabot Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm not convinced by the idea of Pochettino at Spurs. His famous double training sessions might have gone down well with the young aspirational Southampton squad, but, the likes of Adebayor will be less keen. I guess he could ship a load of players out and bring in a fresh batch; wouldn't that have an element of deja vu for the fans?

Jah Lush Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think Adebayor will be itching for a move anyway now that half of his wages are no longer paid by Man City. I'd like to think that Pochettino can get the best out squad we have with maybe one or two additions.

maxxi Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I agree that Pochettino did well at Soton but didn't perform miracles. They weren't doing too badly when he arrived and they had a habit of producing great young players that bigger clubs poach long before he arrived. If he can take one or two of them with him that would help - and he should get shot of the Billy-Big-Bollocks.Wish we had him though.
