villa4europe Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Saw a rumour for yakin going to Southampton (although I think it was a lazy Swiss thing) it would be interesting who got the better of those changes if it was true though Spurs just need the squad balancing, got some great players but very little depth at the back and upfront, 2/3 signings and I think they'll be a good team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardCanning Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Mauricio Pochettino likes to play a pressing game with the forwards working hard to get the ball back. Safe to say Emmanuel Adebayor is on the way out then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andykeenan Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 5 year deal is crazy but must see something in him way goes about things the way like to play football. Its done early which is key plenty of time to work bring in own players can judge him this time next year the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Good manager, I think he'll do well at Spurs. I hope Southampton don't get an exciting manager that we could go for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 With Spurs and their delusions of being top 4 he'll be gone by this time next season Might just as well have kept with Sherwood tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Great manager, but they've had some great managers in the past. Levy is not easy to work with, and the expectations are too high there IMO. It's not enough to have success. It's not enough to play entertaining football. They demand both. And whilst players are being signed by someone other than the manager, getting both to happen is near impossible. Pottechino is a great acquisition though, if he carries on as he was doing at Southampton he's probably their best chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 What are the chances of Levy now being replaced by the chap who was at Southampton… stranger things have happened. Unlikely. Levy owns a percentage of Tottenham and they have Franco Baldini as DOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Determined teams will beat spurs. Poch never gets his players wound up enough to fight for a game. If you get at them, you'll beat them. Good manager though. Edited May 27, 2014 by lapal_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good manager though. What games last season were an example of this? They only lost 12 games. They lost 3-1 away against West Ham. Didn't lose against Stoke (D, D) or Palace (W, W).

He's injured ACL. Will have to be the winter transfer window, if he's back scoring by then. Lallana and Erikson would be a good midfield. Can they play at the same time?

P3te Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It depends on his budget and ultimately who he signs, otherwise there's no way any manager gets this current Spurs squad fourth. They've got a very good squad, and you'd have to imagine that with a season under their belts the newer signings won't be quite as poor next time around. I see no reason to rule them out assuming they can sort out a handful of relatively minor issues. I can't see much of a net spend this summer though, but with a surplus of midfielders they shouldn't have too much trouble raising £30m+ from sales without weakening the squad too much. I'm going to go out on a limb and tip them for a surprise top 4 finish ahead of arsenal (unless, of course, arsenal can finally get a super clinical front man and keep him injury free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, unless he shifts Eriksen out to the left. But I can see him wanting Eriksen in the middle, also remember they have Lamela who cost £30m who they need to accommodate, or ship him out and play Lallana on the right with Eriksen in the middle of a 4-2-3-1.
