MANAGER : -  Mauricio Pochettino has been targeted by Juventus to take over as manager after Max Allegri left the Italian club, because hiring former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has too much baggage attached, as he doesn't get on with the Juve chairman and also seems to be rumoured to have said he will take over at Internazionale. 

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE  : -  Mauricio Pochettino has had a one match ban suspended for a year by UEFA after being found guilty of delaying the kick off in the Champions League semi-final at Ajax.  Tottenham have been fined 10,000 Euros for the delay and 5,000 for a fan running onto the pitch in the Manchester City quarter final at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. 
UEFA also issued a paltry 2,000 Euros fine to Barcelona for *insufficient organisation" at Tottenham's visit to the Nou Camp in December, when Tottenham supporters were beaten by Police and security guards on their way in and inside the stadium.   The club have issued a statement about the lack of strong punishment and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust are taking legal advice for an action against the Spanish club.  Having witnessed this first hand, it was a shocking situation, where fans were channelled from a street's width onto a single pavement and then herded through barriers with Police waiting with batons when they came through.  Anyone who tried to explain the crushing that was taking place was manhandled at the least or struck by the officials.  It was like going back to policing here in the 1970s, but even that wasn't as bad as the Spanish Police.  The fact that nobody checked tickets prior to being searched also breached UEFA's rules and nothing was mentioned about that.  For one of the supposed biggest clubs in the world it was nothing more than a shambles that showed any respect for the visiting supporters.  I imagine that when they came to Wembley, they received no such similar "organisation" issues.

MENTAL HEALTH : -  Danny Rose has shockingly revealed that one club he was talking to about a move last summer asked to meet him to make sure he wasn't 'crazy' after he spoke out about his struggles over the last few years.

RUMOURS : -   Spurs are reportedly interested in Boca Juniors midfield
er Agustin Almendra, who is said to be the new Juan Riquelme,  The bad news is that Paris Saint Germain, Benfica, Internazionale and Napoli are all chasing the 19 year old too.   The press in Turkey carry a story that Celta Viga midfielder Okay Yokuslu is a target for Spurs and West Ham United London at just GBP7 million.  The Daily Telegraph has reported that Spurs have made a move for Nice right back Youcef Atal, who might cost GBP34 million, with Chelsea and Napoli also interested in the 23 year old.
