Kafkaesque
quotes from yesterday
Saido Berahino top of Tottenham's January hit list
When asked about Berahino, Pochettino gave a wry smile, and insisted: ‘We never speak in public about another club’s player. We need to show respect. Of course we are interested in different players — that is our job.
‘I’m very happy with my squad but always in every position you can improve. We have offensive players who can play like Harry. There is Son (Heung-min) or (Nacer) Chadli or Clinton (N’Jie) — they can play like a striker.
‘But maybe it’s true (that Spurs will sign a striker in January). I recognise they are not specifically strikers so maybe we will work to try to find such a player who we can add in the next transfer window or in the summer to try to help the team. It is important we find someone who is very specific.’
Sounds like somebody wants to sign specifically a striker, not rely on players that can play like a striker if you close your eyes and wish it were true.
