While part of the charm for the Tottenham Hotspur fans here in the Transfer Tavern is Mauricio Pochettino’s ability to improve his current players, there’s nothing quite like a good rumour.
Or a very bizarre one. Indeed, reports in Turkey claim the club are lining up a strange move to bring a former QPR defender back to London.
According to Fanatik, Spurs are keen on a move for Dusko Tosic of Besiktas, following his good form over in Istanbul. The 32-year-old spent some time on loan at Loftus Road in 2010 and has been enjoying life in Turkey, able to cover both central defence and left-back positions.
That would make him an attractive prospect for many clubs and Pochettino is said to be weighing up an €8m offer for the veteran, roughly a £7.07m fee, though our local Tottenham supporters aren’t overly convinced. With so much defensive cover already, it’s hard to see the club making a move on that front.
Landlord’s Verdict:
At almost 33, it’s difficult to imagine Pochettino aiming to bring him to north London. The Argentine prefers working with younger and more energetic players, so this would be a very strange move.
Thoughts?
