I just do not understand the constant defence of poch. We can talk about transfer windows all day long but the same mistakes are happening on that pitch. He has had all summer with this team to teach them his ways yet we look exactly the same. Whats the deal.
isn;t it True Soldado asked for a transfer on the first day of pre-season?

what constant defence? there is anti poch stuff all over the board in pretty much every article you read.
however anyone wanting poch to be sacked is just silly. rip it all up and start again, and back to square one we go.

There is business and there is business; Wimmer for example could've been done at any time in the window, late or early. A new striker however is essential business and essential business should be done in a timely fashion. I have no doubt the departures of Ade & Bobby were earmarked in May, so to go into the second game of the season with no back up for Kane is highly amateurish IMO. In fact I'd go as far as to say it cost us two points.
We appear to be laying down smart long term strategies off the pitch, yet on the pitch it's the same old last minute bargain basement nonsense. We've brought in a lot of youth with potential which is great, but it has to be integrated with a bit of experience and proven quality - that's what this squad is crying out for. There are no leaders, no experienced winners, and of course no back up for Kane. I'm not panicking as it's still early but we've left ourselves a lot if work to do on & off the pitch to get this season going, which was totally unnecessary.

I agree with pretty much all of this.
the first half of our pre season was great. shifting deadwood, stadium announcement, couple of good early signings..... and then we faaacked it up with lack of signings we needed and a ridiculous pre season schedule.
all very spursy.
You are ahead of the premierleague favourites Chelsea a top 4 side.

I expressed the same concerns before the season started but was told I was being too 'negative' by a certain poster. And voila, here we are 2 games into a season with only 1 point, and we still haven't brought in any back up striker.
