4 Transfers and 2 sick parrots

Oh no, it's the Morning Line

Mauricio Pochettino is whoring himself gently.

“When I was at PSG, I knew Tottenham would never want to sell Harry. And I never wanted to do anything that would affect Tottenham, because I love Tottenham.”

What struck me about his column in The Athletic, is that he had the front to paint himself as a masterful coach, one that had been keeping Harry Kane on the straight and narrow.

The ghost-written piece runs with a tag line that says Poch: The Only man to coach Kane and Mbappe on their rare talents…

Wasn’t this Argentine genius responsible for bungling our Champions League final against Liverpool, by dropping the in-form Lucas Moura, and playing the visibly tired Kane?

Alessandro Bastoni has poured very cold water on what everybody was once calling a done deal.

The defender told Corriere dello Sport:

“There was some contact with Tottenham last summer, it’s true but I’m happy with my choice. I’m happy here at Inter and I hope Milan Škriniar will stay here too”.

It certainly doesn’t sound as if he’s planning on a move to us in the summer. Or ever, for that matter.
