It'll certainly be interesting to see who comes in for him. All the top managers are demanding in their own ways. I can't see anyone giving different instructions to Koeman, although the way of giving them might differ. I wonder if Mourinho'll come in for him. He made Joe Cole into a different player to the one at West Ham (I know he didn't buy him) and Cole came through with pretty much the same reputation and anticipation as Barkley.

I think he favours going under the wing of a manager who has shown he;'s adept at encouraging and gelling top English talent. That's Pochettino for me.

The stats seem to back it up more than you think they do. Under Koeman, he scored five goals and had eights assists in 36 appearances. That's 0.189 goals and 0.222 assists per game. In three years under Martinez, he had 16 goals in 101 appearances, for a slightly better 0.158 goals/game, but only 10 assists, a measly 0.099/game. That tells me he was far more integral to the team's overall play under Koeman that he was under Martinez.

He had injuries in 2014 and missed a lot of games.

Ain't that the truth .No top manager is a pushover . Imagine how Alex Ferguson would react to Ross ... It doesn't bear thinking about !

That's an interesting one. I can't imagine Ferguson tolerating an ineffective ill-disciplined player, but he had more than one way of skinning a cat - it wasn't just the hairdryer. But he wasn't averse to maverick talent. He tried to get Gascoigne and I think he said it was one of his biggest regrets that he failed to buy him. And he bought Cantona, of course, and indulged him. As long as the results and performances came, Ferguson was happy.

What have Spurs won under him?

I rate Pochettino alot but if Spurs don't win something soon then he'll be a relative failure considering the quality he has at the club.

Are you seriously comparing Ross with Gazza and Cantona ???????
