Anyone been to that Boxpark place outside of Wembley pre or post match? Taking a load of mates tomorrow and unsure whether to go there or the ever reliable spoons at Baker street.
Have you got the free tickets?We arrived the other week and even with the tickets we were refused admission because of the amount of people trying to get in.
Not impressed.
Looks like Poch is doing a u-turn with Vincent Janssen , Apparently he’s been given a squad number & will feature in the first team set up . I know he’s not the greatest of footballers but he always gave everything he had when he played , Wish him well .
I have just read this on Twitter so it may well be bks .

Who do Spurs actually sign that is at the top of there game?? you sign players who are good but not getting a chance at there club i.e Moura, or you sign young
All of those options are players available in Jan if you make a bid -
You are not the type of club to go and sign someone from a top club and pay big bucks
Any player from a foreign league will need the rest of the season to get up to speed and fitness for the EPL. So they are little use until next season. Unless they are a really top player, in which case they are already at a top club who are still competing in Europe/Domestically. So why would they sell?All of those options are players available in Jan if you make a bid -

Or you buy an EPL player who can hit the ground running. But if they are at a top 6 or bottom 6 club they won't be sold as the club's are still fighting for top four/cups or relegation.
So you are looking for a player from a mid table club who is better than you already have but surplus to the mid table club.....or you pay a ridiculous premium as the mid table club have no pressure to sell and know you are desperate....

I thought you'd say that. Just wanted to give you your chance to say your piece and I knew that the welcoming and magnanimous chaps on this thread of harmony wouldn't object.
I dont feel there is a need too after every game - he was anything but the worst player the other night so I find it odd people bring him up. Shaquiri was shocking, Salah was static, Matip was all over the shop Black can man said:

"You know very well my position because I told you in the past.
"In the same way, when we now have two free places -- with Georges-Kevin Nkoudou going to Monaco and [Mousa] Dembele to China -- I think he's going to be on the list.
"That is my decision, that he's going to be involved with the first team from today and he's going to be like another player, with the chances -- if he deserves it -- to be in the squad or to play.
"For different reasons -- but the principle reason was a sporting decision -- one year ago we decided to send him on loan [to Fenerbahce] and then in the last year he didn't play because he was injured. After [it was about] trying to find solutions because the player wanted to leave the club, and the club wanted to provide for him another place to play football.
"But in the end when that was impossible I think the most important thing now is to treat him [properly] because he's a person, and my responsibility is to manage people, not chairs or sofas or furniture.
"Always he behaved well. That is so important, that he was very respectful with everyone.
"For different reasons he can't go away -- reasons that are difficult of course to understand for me.
"But in the moment he cannot agree with the club, or the club cannot agree with him, to find a place for him to play and feel happy, of course I'm a person and we are people that always care. My decision straight away was to invite him in and to open the door to the first team."
I read that as: Sissoko's slipped TPVJ some of his pics of Poch's wife."In the same way, when we now have two free places -- with Georges-Kevin Nkoudou going to Monaco and [Mousa] Dembele to China -- I think he's going to be on the list.

I think he does have a choice & Hopefully he makes the right one Bit of an embarrassing u-turn he's been forced into really.
I also think Poch is the kind of chap that could admit he made a mistake , he does seem to have the minerals about him to apologise if he had indeed made an error . Many cannot you know , I am not saying he made mistake with Janssen but just the way the man is .
Good try btw 5 on 10 I’ll give it
If I were a totally blinkered Poch adoring Spurs fan, I would point out that Poch hasn't done a u-turn - when asked the other month if TPVJ was part of his plans he was correct to answer no because at that time he wasn't part of the plans as there was no place for him in the squad. Now a few have left there is space for him so he can be included.
But I'm not, so I won't.

I know TPVJ wasn't prolific but I always felt he worked really hard, made some decent assists, was maybe just starting to get into the grove and they got rid. Some players just need a bit more time (Kieta )
I still think there is a decent player in there somewhere, Poch just needs to work his magic.
