Transfer Rumour Everton poised to make £25m bid for Celtic full-back Kieran Tierney

[davek]

Not really.

Spurs have a DOFO, Head of Recruitment and a Chief Scout who all get a say.

Poch isn't running the Moyes model.

Pochettino:
"Of course he [Levy] is going to ask me about the football decisions of the club and then, for me, it is so important to share the decision because it is the way that I like to work. If we are going to sign or sell a player, of course Steve, our chief scout is going to have a very good opinion and vision to help the club take the best decision".

Clear from all that from 3 months ago that a) he makes the decisions and tells his CEO and chief scout how that was reached and, b ) that Baldini the technical director is not involved.

Pochettino is the guvnor of the football side of things at Spurs.

Baldini was sacked years ago Dave.

Beat me to it.

Baldini was sacked years ago Dave.

...well whoever the technical director is now. As said, the quote is from 3 months ago.

 

[scratchnsurf]

Definitely not involved then.

Not got one.

As I said, they have a woman DOFO, a head of recruitment that Poch brought from Saints and their two chief scouts.

Celtic fan here.

KT has arrangements with Celtic to be captain by 19/20 season, rises in wages and he genuinely loves the club. It's not BS.

I'd be majorly surprised if he came to Everton this season as we're on route to 10 in a row. I think it'll be atleast 2 seasons until he leaves.

As for how good he is, I'm no idiot to see the gulf in the EPL and SPFL but the boy is quality and would probably move on within a couple of seasons like VVD.

No disrespect but it's more a case of Everton managing to persuade him rather than 'is he good enough'.

...so she's telling Pochettino what players he gets?

No, she does the deals. Especially now Levy is stadium-focused.

But he's not the main man when it comes to running point on transfers. That's why he sought desperately to bring his Head of Recruitment and gives way to his scouts.

He loves the credit for all the good signings though. Little big head.

10 in a row beating who?

 

[mightymoyes]

Pochettino has full control over who is bought. The DoF works for HIM, not the other way around. Pochettino identifies, the Spurs DoF procures.

hes still won naff all even if that were all true. and its not

Not that it’s massively relevant but Wasn’t The Head of recruitment from Southampton Mitchell whose gone to Leipzig now ?

No disrespect either but is 10 in a row much of an achievement considering there is no opposition.

The farmers have really improved over the past couple of seasons i'll have you know.

 

[Connor]

Anyway, on topic. KT, get him in.

Nah, it's not.

The Bhoy may love the Hoops but if he's coming here, he's got to displace one of the finest left-backs the modern Premier League has ever seen. He'd have plenty to prove.
