Nice,but some here&now for next season is what I am waiting for,and I think most fans on the back of a new stadium and big increases in admittance prices.No better time to cement our CL annual qualification,new stadium and a lot of worldwide media exposure,a couple of big signings would really fit the bill for our profile and show our intent.Apparently we are close to getting Riqui Puig of Barcelona. He's not yet 19 & lightweight like Foyth but talented like Modric.

Tottenham, very close to signing the youth squad Riqui Puig
Star Juvenil A FC Barcelona has not yet accepted the offer of renewal and Pochettino is in love with his game
The contacts have already begun and the English team believes that it will take the canterano of the Masia
It is one of the revelations of the season in Masia and right now it is more out than inside. Riqui Puig ends his relationship with FC Barcelona this summer and has a multitude of offers on the table. Among them, the one of renovation with the azulgrana set to have ficha in the Barça B. Nevertheless, it is not at all clear that its future is of blaugrana.
After playing a spectacular Youth League and debuting with Barça B, Riqui Puig has captured the attention of the best teams in Europe. Of all of them, the one that has more advanced is Tottenham. His coach is Pochettino, who is in love with the Matadapera boy's game, and they have tried it with a very attractive sports project. Contacts are advanced although a final decision has not been made.
At Barça they are aware that Riqui has many offers and that he has many doubts about signing his renewal with the club. For this reason, his presence in Barça B has been reduced and he only plays with the Juvenile A Copa del Rey. The same goes for most of their colleagues who have not renewed either. The possible descent to Segunda B is a tough journey for all homegrown players who know they will suffer in that category.
Your future will be decided in a few days. The offers are already on the table and just need to make the final decision. If everything continues as now, Riqui Puig will play in the Premier League next season with the Tottenham shirt. The club has to react and bet on a guy who has DNA Masia and must succeed in the Camp Nou . We will see how it ends.
Would be massive, this. Spurs in pole position to sign Riqui Puig from Barcelona. A very, very special young player. #THFC https://twitter.com/sport/status/997497014811287552 …
dont disagree,is there really no compensation in spain when youngsters leave out of contract?
Dunno who this kid is.... however if he is at Barca he won't have been shit... but you have to ask as to why he wants away from the 2nd biggest club in the world...Apparently we are close to getting Riqui Puig of Barcelona. He's not yet 19 & lightweight like Foyth but talented like Modric.

I would guess that like united or barca,if you produce en masse a "golden" generation of several yongsters then any pathway to the 1st team is gone for at least a decade,as who is going to replace messi,iniesta,pique,vidal,alba,the other suarez,and then the players they have bought to maintain their success suarez (goofy),dembele,coutinio etc .The panic to keep top of the tree changes how they got there,academy players are seen as too risky to lose your job over.Thats how it is at chelsea,united,city,just look at who chelsea have let go lukaku,matic (twice now),de bruyne all when young,united have 2 outstanding prospects martial and rashford and yet rarely use them,when was the last time city produced a regular youth player??
If he dont want to stay,then so be it.Non of us know the sums offered and declined,just seems that for a year this has rolled on,its a distraction and loss of focus for it to continue next season.With poch its FIFO,we have seen that previously,no good planning for just one year stop gaps its just kicking the can down the road.
I think you're spot on with this Don. I heard/read recently that Eriksen is already in discussions but wanted to wait until Poch had committed to us before he would and I'm sure he's not the only one. Pictures of Poch and Eriksen in Copenhagen having dinner and a good time together as friends says a lot aboit the influence Poch ahs on these still young lads and the article with Mason saying how the young lads backed him when the senior one's didn't wanna know says a lot for how much they care for him. I've never in all my time as a Spurs fan had full confidence in a manager, I liked Jol but knew he wasn't up their with the cream of the crop and the same can be said for Redknapp but Poch is gravy made from a different stock than anyone we've had in my time. So happy to see this contract signed as means we can move forward this summer with the commitment of the top boy!
Yeah Alasdair Gold seems like a good Yid
Really like his reporting on the club. Always up to date and on point with things.
I don't hink he'd walk at all during the season, would more likely achieve what he can with us, potentially top 4 and cup if we get the rub of the green and go on to bigger things. Don't think Levy is gonna double cross him though as this is the time to make some good improvements, not go mad but add quality that will make us more competitive than we already are. Think Levy is aware that us moving to the next level as aclub is what will add value to the club alongside a new stadium. Backing us at this point could add hundreds of millions to the fee that ENIC will command when it comes to flogging us. It's all about the club value to him and winning a league or CL trophy will really add some value.
Whilst I applaud the guesswork that Levy may be giving Poch decent funds, don't overlook the word 'sustainable' in the PR yesterday. Also we tried the magnificent 7 with the Bale money a few years back, that turned into the magnificent 2 (Lamela & Eriksen),Levy knows this and it won't happen again. better to have 3 x quality players than 6 average ones.
He fucking hates pasta..... won't happen...!!!
What about tapas?
