I have been asking the question why people rate poch so highly since he was appointed our head coach, I personnaly didnt think he was anything special but no one came back and explained why they thought he could acheave what we all wanted to happen at spurs, now over the last few games I can see that I was wrong ( not that I have much in the way of managerial or stratigy of football experience to make my opinion anymore valid than the average supporter)and after 0ver 50 years of supporting spurs I know what I like to watch, and some of the c rap we have indured throuout the first half of the season had me thinking I was right to doubt poches methods, but (and I know it can all change round again) I have really been impressed lately with the work ethic and commitment of the side that I do believe we may be onto a winner with poch, I was never an advocate of sacking poch as we needed to get some stability back in the club, I just genuinly didnt think he was the man to take us where we wanted to be <clapclap> poch

Holtby as good as gone, ditto Benny, Vlad preferred to Naughton and Kaboul on the bench..
But how do you solve a problem like Adebayor?

All irrelevant as Levy wont secure any of the targets identified by MP. We wont even get Schinderlin, whose Arsenal bound.
"Need to sell 3 or 4 then first"
Think Levy will take a haircut on Soldado, Paulinho and Capoue etc? I'd be amazed if we sold any of the above. You just know Levy is touting Soldado for £20m .
Seriously though, they are a 2, maybe 3 players, from being the best side we had since Redknapp's last season.

His contract ends 30th June 2015 along with Benny's so that's two off the roster

I think despite what we want, there is no way we're signing a striker of any quality this window.
Which team would be willing to let a quality striker go halfway through a season! Especially a Premier League proven one ala Bony.
Berhino I don't think is the answer, and especially not worth some of the prices quoted.
Not signing a striker this window is not the same as not backing Poch, as to buy we also need someone willing to sell, and I don't think there is exactly an abundance of quality strikers that are surplus to their clubs.
Yes money talks, but not the kind of money we have available we have to spend.

I'd imagine we need to ship 3 long term contract players like Soldado, Paulinho, etc

Won't even get Schneiderlin??
We tried, we bid, he demanded a transfer and even went public with it, and still they didn't sell!
not a lot more we could have done on that one.
Plus, Mason may not be the big name signing, but he's definitely added to our recent form, safe to say in all likelihood we wouldn't have seen him if we'd signed Schneiderlin in the summer.

I think the players have adapted to his style of play and hopefully Kane can keep his form. A cup would be nice and top 6 finish would be nice. 3 additional players for hte summer would be good (ball playing CM, striker and a CB to cover Vertonghen/Fazio)

This result means nothing if we don't build on it. That's the test Poch and the players have to pass. This needs to become the springboard for this season NOT the highlight. Let's wait and see.

I was critical of all the changes Poch made vs Utd and CFC but it worked. We looked fresher than both and Utd looked spent vs Stoke too. Good management and 4 points from games where I'd take 2 was massive. A real step forward and now everyone is starting to see the Poch style rather than criticising Spurs players for not being capable of playing the Poch way

I have been critical of Poch and one game does not answer all the questions but yesterday was fantastic.
If nothing else our heads did not drop as soon as we conceeded and at no point did we look like we were going to collapse thats a distinct improvement and we have to give him credit for that.
I will also give him full credit for his dealing with Adebayor I just wish it had been done 3 years ago
