Hi Eds,

I have a few questions and I would be really happy if you would have time for a bit of insight.

What do you think will happen with Poch after the final? To me it seems that all the mixed messages to media are by some part just a way of getting real financial backing from Levy, but it seems quite odd because of how he has always talked so kindly of their relationship. Is it all just media game? Do you think the Juventus vacancy might appeal to him at this point?

So much talk about our interest in Ndombele, but do you see us really spending so much money to get the man? I think it's still a long shot even if we would spend the money because of the interest from elsewhere but I really think he would be a great buy. Though I doubt we have the financial muscle to suddenly spend like never before on a single player.

Any other updates of the players we're interested in.

{Ed002's Note - (a) A third party working on behalf of Juventus has tried to see if it would be possible to recruit him but my gut feeling is that Levy will block it by continuing to make outrageous financial demands - and that could upset Pochettino who will have seen all of the jobs he could be interested in pass him by as Juventus will recruit from elsewhere. (b) I would not hold your breath about Ndombele signing for Spurs.}

Thanks Ed002!

I think the squad is really close to being torn apart especially if we lose the final and certainly if Poch is allowed to leave. Eriksen will most likely be gone if not this summer then the next on a free. Alderweireld will be gone at the same timeframe.

The squad will be needing a some sort of overhaul soon and with the financial structure of the club I think it needs to be done by a sale of a big player like Eriksen to have funds to get a few decent players in.

As much I would like to see Poch and Eriksen both to stay, I totally understand why they would be wanting to move on for their own reasons. Poch has already given us way more time than most coaches nowadays do or can. And the same can be said of Eriksen.
