Strange things is that I'm not sure that I'd take any of their team, at present. I can see that lot bidding for a couple, but I wouldn't drop any of our players to make way for anything I've seen over the last week.
 
Pochettino's Cup record.

Tottenham
17/18 FA Cup - Semi-Final (United)
17/18 EFL Cup - 4th Rd (West Ham)
16/17 FA Cup - Semi-Final (Chelsea)
16/17 EFL Cup - 4th Rd (Liverpool)
15/16 FA Cup - Last 16 (C Palace)
15/16 EFL Cup - 3rd Rd (Arsenal)
14/15 FA Cup - 4th Rd (Leicester)
14/15 EFL Cup - Final (Chelsea) - Worth pointing out the route to this final - Nottingham Forest, Brighton, Newcastle, Sheffield.

Southampton
13/14 FA Cup - Last 16 (Sunderland)
13/14 EFL Cup - 4th Rd (Sunderland)


He has never beaten any of the other Top 6 teams in a cup competition with Spurs, after 5 attempts over 4 years.

In 14 games against Premier League opposition in cups, he has lost 10 and won 4. Those 4 are Burnley 14/15 (Finished 19th in the league), Newcastle 14/15 (finished 15th in the league), Leicester in 15/16 (The year they threw the cups to focus on winning the league) and Swansea 17/18 (Currently 17th).

Maybe Eriksen would be worth us putting in a bid for.

The rest looked shit though. If Kane has a good World Cup he'll be off to Real Madrid.
 
I hope Kane is alright. He was supposed to be in the semi finals but was completely missing and didn't show up to work. Let's hope he turns up ok.

Every time they replace a player, the incoming is worse.

Aurier is miles worse than Walker.
Ben Davies is nowhere near the force Rose was in the past 2 seasons.
Davinson Sanchez and Alderweireld? Laughable.
Dembele seems to be off to China too. Whoever they get will inevitably be worse.
 
said it before in this thread I think, Spurs are not going to win anything, their owner needs to put his hands in his pockets... Fed up of hearing he's such a good businessman, thats actually the reason they wont achieve anything.

Poch to leave in the summer, then Kane a couple years later when he realises
 
Embarrassing from Tottenham.
Soon as Sanchez equalised their heads went down and they pratically gave up.
8 semi final defeats is embarrassing and they should be ashamed, all this talk of them being a brilliant side is bull shit they never win anything!!!
Harry Kane looks woeful at the moment just as we are about to enter a world cup.
 
Lol:

Tottenham prove 'Spursy' tag no longer applies

LONDON (Reuters) - There is an old cliche that has followed Tottenham Hotspur around pretty much since the club’s glory days in the 1960s.

A bit “Spursy” is the expression that has often summed up their football, meaning style without substance.

Harsh or otherwise, the perception was that Tottenham could not be relied upon under pressure.

Seven years ago, when the north London club reached the knockout phase of the Champions League at the first attempt under then manager Harry Redknapp, they went to Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid in the quarter-final first leg and lost 4-0.

Memories of that chastening defeat came to the fore when Juventus’ wily striker Gonzalo Higuain, part of that 2011 Madrid squad, scored twice in the opening nine minutes at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday as the Italian giants seized control of the last 16 tie.

What followed was 80 minutes of near-total domination by Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side as they stormed back to earn a 2-2 draw with goals by Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen.

This was a Juve side featuring seven starters from last year’s final, who had conceded one goal in their previous 16 matches in all competitions and who had never let slip a two-goal lead since moving to their new stadium in 2011.


The measured way Tottenham pushed Juventus deeper and deeper sucked the life out of the Serie A side and silenced their fans. Victory on the night would have been fully deserved.

It was all very “un-Spursy”.

While admirable, Tottenham’s quarter-final run in 2010-11 was built very much around Gareth Bale and Luca Modric — the only two players who would get into the current Spurs starting side.

Pochettino has assembled a team with no obvious weaknesses and world-class back-up on the bench to boot.

In the likes of goal machine Kane, cultured defender Jan Vertonghen, keeper Hugo Lloris, Mousa Dembele and Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Toby Alderweireld he boasts players with the big game mentality.

South Korean Son, a revelation this season, did not even make the starting team on Tuesday, while Alderweireld did not travel. In their places, Erik Lamela and young Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez were superb, as was England midfielder Dele Alli whose season is now blooming.

Another young England international Eric Dier was a ‘steady Eddie’ in a holding role.

SERIOUS CONTENDERS
Tottenham have not suffered defeat since a 4-1 loss to Manchester City in the league on Dec. 16. In their last four matches they have beaten Manchester United, came back to draw 2-2 at Liverpool, outplayed Arsenal at home and on Tuesday rocked Juventus with arguably their best away performance in Europe under Pochettino.

Add in a 1-1 draw in the Bernabeu against holders Real in the group phase and a 3-1 home rout of the Spaniards, plus home-and-away defeats of Borussia Dortmund and with good reason the London club are now being taken seriously.

“They are growing in stature all the time and are now believing in themselves that they can achieve things,” former Tottenham skipper Gary Mabbutt told the BBC on Wednesday.

“They showed that against one of the most respected defences in the game, they took the game to them. Kane bossed (Giorgio) Chiellini as he bossed (Real Madrid’s Sergio) Ramos.


“After 10 minutes they dominated the game. Tottenham now have no fear and believe they can beat these teams. The Tottenham youngsters are growing as a team all the time.”

Juve must still be finished off but whatever happens at Wembley on March 7, Tottenham are unlikely to be “Spursy”.

I have never understood the Poch love in by the media, he never finishes a project, guarantee he will be gone from spuds in the summer .
 
Worried about Kane for the WC. 2 big games in a week and I don’t think he’s had a meaningful shot!

I don’t think he’s fit. By the look of his recent behaviour he’s more interested in individual awards than the team
 
Poor from spuds today, couldn’t find away through the bus. Made that shite look like a decent team.
