    Pochettino doesnt have access to great players at Spuds
    No ****er is going there if they are already a star

    At Man U he will have access to signing great players and not good ones

    Wages wise Man U are spending more on wages than Man City
    Lukaku Sanchez Pogba etc just aint delivering like KDB Aguero Sterling etc

    ManU just need to start signing players who actually deliver on the park and not flop like they currently doing

    Plus ManUtd are still closer to winning the EPL than the Scousers and Spuds are

    Spuds he has actually brought them up to be contenders
    Yeah they aint won but they are there abouts and even if the reality is laughable

    Man Utd isnt actually the hardest gig at the moment.

    Turning them into contenders again aint necessarily the hardest task. Just need to get the players performing and get some positive attacking play going

    Senchez Lukaku DeGea Pogba Matic all pale imitations of themselves

    Get half of them playing at 90% of capabilities and they start winning games regularly again

    yeah i just look at it like people think united is a 'big' club and Spurs isnt.
    its like Liverpool fans crapping on about their pedigree but they aint won a title in what, 30 years?

    your and my idea of a 'big' club isnt the same as our dads or grand daddies.

    Sprus isnt a big club, never has been and never will be while their tightass owner is in charge. No top 4 finishes or Harry Kane golden boots will change this

    Statistically speaking the EPL table pretty much follows the money.
    We have seen two clubs since the EPL started defy the odds - but ultimately it's always about the money long-term.
    Get the Rothschild family behind a League 1 side and they could probably win an EPL title within ten years.

    My bad, but same theory applies.

    Let's say Dybala becomes available but the agent wants 20 million in fees from whichever club he signs for. Spuds can afford to waste that on agents. United Can.
    (Arsenal also can't really afford that at the moment)


    Also, this is the reason that Liverpool are back n
    at/near the top. They accepted the market has become ridiculous but just dealt with it and brought in who they needed.


    United have started working on a deal for Douglas Costa from Juve and have 2 top shelf CBs being worked on for the end of year ready for the new coach to choose. Mourinho only found out after he was leaving and is furious.

    Really? United have been after centre backs for the past couple of years. They tried for Bonucci who accepted Milan then went back to Juve. Yjeu were linked with a few others as well, for one reason or another it did not come off.

    yeah this is the curious bit for me, in that the Spurs bloke doesnt ever seem to be 'in' for these big names when they are available.
    id be shocked if he went to Old Trafford then went after Galacticos.
    id assume hed just be after the Juan Mata types that are floating around world football and would be his 'type' of player.


    i also think even Pochetino* knows how much of a fraud Harry Kane is. No way hed break the bank to lure him away when he could get 5 or 6 'Son' types.







    *there, i gave it one go at spelling his name. no idea if its good or not.

    i mean, Spurs are 10th on the Forbes list of football clubs valuations.
    define 'big' however you want to. you can find something to support the argument both ways.
    but top 10 isnt 'big'?

    ok then......

    The reason was that the club didn't want to pay the amount that was quoted. They were in for Van Dyk but didn't pay the money. They were in for Laporte but didn't pay the money. They were in for Jimenez but didn't want to pay his release clause or the silly amount Madrid wanted.

    Now, they are going to go all out on 1. Supposedly they have identified 2 and are already well into negotiations. I think one might be Hummels and the other I don't know. Maybe Micheal Keane.

    Just so everyone knows, I'm not saying Tottenham aren't a big club. I'm saying they can't compete money wise. Which is a totally different argument.

    How can Tottenham who have massive debts and much less revenue than United compete money wise? I've told you to stop reading facebook articles about football. Trust me when I say they have no money, Ive witnessed a club move stadium. It's very tough to compete during those years.
