Poch wanted his targets early. He outlined that as massively important to his plans.
Other than Toby, he didnt get his targets early. Do you honestly believe Njie and Son were his choices too?
This time, I thought Levy might do it differently and back his manager. He didnt. He prioritised selling his own deadwood and left Pochettino short.
What makes you think he wont sack Poch before the new stadium is built? What has he done differently that he did to AVB this window? Its the same memo, the points are not on the board, the squad is weak, and there one man who´s head is on the block. And its not Daniel.
There is one reason why we are giving the likes of Carroll, Mason, Pritchard and Alli actual first team roles and nothing to do with romance or building. Its because we hit gold last season with Kane and we are hoping to save a buck and do it again with some youth.
Mason should not be the first name on our team sheet and not signing a DM was pathetic, despite Dier doing ok there. The pressure on Kane is already showing, and the fact we have wingers that can we can play out of position in an emergency doesnt make everything ok.
