The world and his wife now know that Mauricio Pochettino has signed a new 5-year contract. There was never any doubt of that, despite all the rubbish written in the press by the fiction writers who call themselves journalists.

"Daniel and I have spoken at length about our aspirations for this football club. We both share the same philosophies to achieve long-term, sustainable success". Those were the words of Mauricio Pochettino and the most important word there is sustainable.

That tells us the existing policy continues, gambling is not an option, everything is done within our financial means, we grow as our income grows, we evolve, not revolutionalise.

A mountain was made out of a molehill because Pochettino knows who we are negotiating with, negotiations that have been going on way before the season ended. It is no secret that we want Anthony Martial and Matthijs de Ligt, both I understand want to join Spurs.

Money isn't an issue for Martial, de Ligt's fee could go sky high, too high for us, if all the top clubs start putting in bids. There is a determination to get him though.

Toby Alderweireld us demanding too much money for his age. The word is that Manchester United will not pay him the wages he is asking, nor will anyone else. Barcelona are said to have offered £22m for him last summer, his value would have come down since then.

If nobody is going to pay his wage demands then he either has to lower those demands or lower them and renegotiate with Spurs. Our offer is still on the table for him, but it is somewhere around £50,000-a-week lower than his current stance. Time will tell what is going to happen.

He has been injured for 223 days over the last three seasons, missing 46 games across all competitions for Tottenham and Southampton reports Spurs Stats Man on Twitter. That's an example that his negotiating position isn't as strong as he possibly thinks it is.

Isco is undoubtedly being targetted and André Gomes has been a long-term target who Barcelona are now willing to sell. The problem there is they always want a buyback clause, which we will not entertain. If we are in for him again it would be no surprise.

We are also looking at a wide man, well, an inverted winger with Malcolm a target and of course Ryan Sessegnon.

Those names should keep all fans happy. That is the market we are looking at, the quality of player we are looking at. The situation at Spurs has been totally misrepresented by these professional journalists and gullible fans have fallen for it.

In keeping with Spurs policy of having players sign new deals each season to give them wages increases and maintain maximum transfer value on them, Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Heung-min Son, Hugo Lloris, Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies are all expected to sign new contracts this summer.
