They pumping him out again, he is not that good.
I see Poch most recent comments, asked why no signings he gave more a less a dont ask me answer
Aha Gomes not Gomez
Danish called him a kid though, Andre Gomes is in his twenties isn't he and he is a midfielder not an attacking forward, so what's he got to do with "needing a striker like Son who can play two positions"

Some like to believe that Poch is so in love with Spurs no matter how negative the situation he’d still be happy - he signed a new contract so must mean he’ll always be over the moon with things.....I said the other day about it and got slated on it, but you would be a fool to think he is not getting slightly pished off

Does that mean theres a rift between he and Levy and thats it, next offer he gets he is off...?
Well, no. From what Ive seen of Poch, I believe, if he believes Levy is doing his best - and understands how/why things are as they are, then he will accept it.
Of course, if he thinks he is being taken for a ride thats different.
Strange that everyone has already sold Toby, Rose, Dembele
This is getting bloody silly now. Poch clearly wanted bodies in early, and kind of said as much at the end of last season. However, we’re now looking at the worst window in terms of failing to strengthen which I can remember since windows began.
I get that the market is tough yada yada yada, But come on - surely we’d made plans and arrangements before the window opened. It’s like we only play at transfers last minute on the last day - and we’re getting worse at it, not better!
It does not need to be a rift for someone to go though, he might just believe that our lack of action in the transfer marketing belittles his on the pitch ambitions.
If Poch is on the clubs wavelength on transfers and happy which I hope he is then there will be little excuses on finishing 4th because Poch should be looking at his personel and thinking what do I need to achieve my goals and if he is happy with what he has then the pressure is not then on Levy its on him. Can't have it both ways really.
I think it boils down to this.
Kovacic on deadline day, or Drinkwater on June 1st.
Thats the nature of our place in things. You want it done up front, you get what you reliably can. Almost certainly, IMO, not of the sort of quality Poch will have his eyes on though.
Or, you work all bloody summer long, make the right opportunity, and then get someone like Kovacic. I would guess, much more pleasing to old Pochy-poo's.
My old boss always used to say, "you can have Quality, Cheap, and Quick - but you can only ever pick two". This is the same kind of thing.
I think, honestly, Poch understands the difference between 'want' and 'need', and is a realist.
I think Poch understands our place in the food chain, and while that might frustrate at times, it doesnt mean theres an issue.
As above, I think he would take missing a pre-season and getting someone in last minute - if that meant getting the "correct" player in.
Incidentally - I think he would also take no player, rather than the wrong player.
I think, no matter what the situation is at the club, a tempting offer is tempting (though quite what that looks like might vary depending).
The point was if Toby stays its not good unless he does so under a new contract, if Toby stays on the same terms he will just be a body in the squad which makes us weaker than him going and being replaced, in my honest opinion.
I don't see Dembele coming out either to clarify his future, he was quick to come out and say he would not make a decision till after the world cup

Players are worth what someone is prepared to pay for them.
