Rose-Eriksen-Pochettino-Moura

Danny Rose is now set to stay at Spurs according to reports in all the media, surprising that given there wasn't a chance of him leaving anyway. Journalists showing they don't understand football again, just writing.

The England international is part of our homegrown and club-trained players, if he went it affects our UEFA Champions League squad and it affects the non-homegrown players we can pick.

For that reason alone there is no chance of him going anywhere as we can now not address that issue until January, when we are unlikely to want to see him leave if we are still in the Champions League anyway, or more likely next summer.

"If I'm here past Friday, which I'm expecting to be, which will be great, I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve at the end of the season. Me and the manager have had a conversation over the phone, as well as two one-hour meetings over the last couple of weeks."
Journalists got that one wrong, they have also been trying to make an issue out of Christian Eriksen and after suggesting Barcelona and Real Madrid, then turned to PSG, who can't actually afford to buy players at the moment. They need to sell to conform to Financial Fair Play.

Mauricio Pochettino was asked what the key to the win at Old Trafford was and his reply is something all those Twitter fans shouting for money to be spent should take onboard. Other clubs didn't want to release the players we wanted to buy, just as Alderweireld, Dembele and Rose didn't go anywhere.

"I think it's the belief. It's always the belief in the way we work, the trust, the confidence and of course all together trying to fight for one objective.

"Today was clear that we were a team, not only on the pitch but outside it and I think that this week was so good.

"We worked so hard preparing the game and yes it's so important. Of course we have very good players but if we don't show that togetherness it's so difficult to win at a place like Old Trafford."

We have assembled a team, a squad within our financial constraints, constraints some fans simply refuse to believe or understand.

Lucas Moura was thought to be the next big Brazilian when he went to PSG and it didn't work out for him there, so instead of paying £100m like Barcelona did for Ousame Dembele, who has flopped, we picked him up for £25m and look to bring out the player that is in there.

What a bargain if we do, he triples in value immediately then and like it or not you always have to aware of the sale price of any player just in case they decide they want to move on.

This was our team on Monday night.

Lloris £11.8m
Trippier £3.5m Alderweireld £11.5m Vertonghen £9.5m Rose £1m Dier £4m Dembele £15m Alli £5m Eriksen £11.5m Moura £25m Kane £0 Total: £97.8m Pogba cost: £89m


Our policy clearly works. The team is good enough to win trophies and will be added to as and when it becomes possible to get the right players, not just any players.
