I think in Klopp you've actually got one of the other few coaches in the league that looks to develop and make players better, not one who needs to sign ready made ones.
He's certainly got the technique nailed for developing players

Lamela is currently still out till Octoboer
Rose Out till September
Son out till September
Wanyama should be back before the end of month
Trippier no definite news yet but he left the Juve match on crutches and Poch has stated he doesn't think Kyle-Walker Peters is ready for regular first team games so they may well have to fit someone else into that role.
I'll say it again, paper thin. A few injuries and we start to look shaky and if Poch doesn't have confidence in the youngsters to step up, they'll need to get someone in.
Oh and also forgot to mention after my visit to Wembley on Saturday that I agree with others, it's an impressive stadium but the atmosphere is sh*t, it suffers from being too big if anything. We could barely hear the supporters on the other side of the stadium.
So team news on Spurs today.Rose Out till September
Son out till September
Wanyama should be back before the end of month

Son looks likely to start from the bench, while midfield powerhouse Victor Wanyama is deemed ‘doubtful’.
Kieran Tripper looks likely to miss out.
Left-back Danny Rose is nearing a return as he steps up his recovery from a long standing, but will also miss out, as will Argentine international winger Erik Lamela.

Nice interview with our Gentleman Jim manager Pochettino on talksport this morning , he said we will be signing 3 possibly 4 players by the end of the window,
He's a pleasure to listen to , no moaning , b
hing or hard luck stories
Just says it as it is.
The man is just pure class. No attitude, no agenda, no moaning, no woe is me. In all my time supporting Tottenham ive never been prouder of our manager. He's a pleasure to listen to , no moaning , b
hing or hard luck stories Just says it as it is.
Rumour is that Levy is talking to Calderon at Real Madrid to find out what the situation is. They'd prefer him to come back to Spurs as they want first refusal on Alli and Erikson whilst we already have first refusal on Bale. We all know that Erikson is ambitious for a top-top club abroad so his time at WHL is likely limited. Surely, if the 'special relationship' is to have any pay-off at all then this is the time for it prove itself.

First refusal on Bale is utterly worthless. So United/City/Chelsea/PSG offer £80m and we match it. The choice is then Bale's. I expect he'll go to the club that will offer 100/200/300k more a week.The "special relationship" is more a case of both parties know how the other operates with regards to transfer payments, fees, contracts etc. Therefore deals can be concluded smoothly and quickly. Otherwise we'd have more to show than VdV and a healthy bank balance.

Can't see Bale fitting in to a Poch side in any event, before you get to the finances of it. Total non starter. However, it's got me thinking back to the glory days when he'd run 120 yards at 0-0 & 89 minutes to slot the winner past a despairing Swansea/Wet Spam/Arsenal keeper or make a monkey out Maicon down the wing. If football is entertainment, Bale was box office at Spurs.

Not so sure.Levy wouldn't bother wanting an 'utterly worthless' clause inserted into the sale so it must have some merit. Clearly Bale wouldn't be coming this summer but maybe next year and at that point with the New Stadium income starting to drip feed into the financials this *might* allow some small wriggle room. Bale would have to moderate his salary demands obviously.
But London.
Bale - Kane - Alli
