The Sun Sunday, meanwhile, says new manager Mauricio Pochettino wants Lech Poznan's teenage midfielder Karol Linetty in a £2.5million deal and the

There's a scouting video that pops up when you google him (I'd never heard of him), and I have to say that despite it being against poor competition, his passing ability and accuracy is extremely sharp and creative. Passing accuracy is also more level issue to evaluate across leagues of course, as opposed to dribbling considering the quality of the defenders.

Could be a bullshit link, but from that video and considering his age I certainly wouldn't be opposed.

Looks alright, but I've yet to see a Youtube video make a player look bad

Only 19 so this would be one for the bench or to loan out. Never seen him play so will leave judgement up to the scouts etc

Deffo seems to have a bit of vision about him, and that's what you cant really teach on a training pitch. Cool name too.

Only 19? not seen how Poch works then no?

True that.

My first thought was right to the bench or the academy team, which he very well may, but I wonder if he'd be brought in to be an understudy to Eriksen since I could see Poch preferring Holtby at the No 8 slot. Not a poor idea if Poch sees something genuine in a kid such as this one, as a 19 year old kid out of Poland certainly couldn't complain for my playing time.

So you seriously believe Poch is planning to bring in Linetty as a regular?

I don't believe he would bring him in to farm him out. And i never said regular.

Quite a few links surfacing with younger less heralded players.
The Baldini factor??

A lot of it is just paper talk no doubt, but in general its what the club has looked to do for years... Supplement the local academy players with players that catch our eye from abroad. From the current lot we have Bentaleb, Veljkovic, Gomelt, Lesniak and Coulibaly. We also took punts on Falque and Ceballos, although they were maybe better known. I think Baldini just adds to this with his contacts.

Broomfield being back more likely.
