Russians would sell their own babuskas to get what they want!
He's a grumpy sod sometimes (northern habits perhaps?) but Danny does seem switched on between the ears. Seem to recall another player saying that Rose will watch football constantly (foreign leagues etc). I love that our squad has a lot of intelligent guys who clearly respect one another. Would actually love to get a pint with those guys.
Some of the 'scenes' from Chelsea's dressing room post-winning-the-league that were shared on social media made them look like a loathsome bunch of wrong-uns.
It was Sissoko...
I dunno if Danny is really helping the situation, or simply clarifying it into something we all secretly fear will happen!
Whadda ya mean look like? They are!! (except for today, when i'll forgive them an FA Cup win... just today, mind!)
The longer it goes on though the more likely it is Levy the tight fisted barstard will have screwed them over for more cash
Levy: £110 million
City: how about £40 million
Levy: ok £109 million it is then
City: we can't do that
Levy: Bayern have just offered the asking price
City: shit, how about £60 million
Levy: your breaking my balls
City: £65 million
Levy: 4.5 year deal with us , English, worlds best ever right back in all of history.
City: £70 million
Levy: fine, just so you know I am only doing this as a favour, it's because I like you so much your getting him cheap.
(why Kyle... why?? I thought we had something!)
Kind of annoying if we have had players who want to leave to play regular CL football, so we improve to be regular top 4, and then they want to leave because we 'nearly' win things.
Based on his injuries, we already have the "who shoved Erik Lamela down the stairs" :lamelashock:
I had a tenner on him still being a Spurs player at the start of next season at 5/1. The bookies are trembling.
They forget that it is Poch's training and tactics that make them look good, Walker and Rose pre-Poch were a mess. Players like Lovern, Shaw, Clyne, Chambers nowhere near as effective as under Poch.
Just imagine what Sanchez and Hazard would do under Poch. Unfortunately money is a huge factor, in most cases the only factor, City and United finished below us but they have one thing more than we do, cash, lots of it.
Careful mate in thinking Pochettino could make fine players like those 2 much better. The word hyperbole comes to mind.
You should note why Pochettino rarely chooses to buy proven players.

I don't think Sanchez and Hazard would have the motivation. They seem quite arrogant.
He has bought plenty of proven players in the past, but they don't have the work ethic or malleable nature that he demands.
Poch Players get in the team through effort. 'Star' players expect to get in the team regardless.
Unless, of course, you're suggesting he sells and doesn't buy "proven" players for some sort of vanity reason.
Poch has been at Saints and us, teams without much fire power money wise, at least in terms of big name signings. Give him a big budget and we will see but even older players like Dembele have improved so much since he came in.
