What They're Saying
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via the Guardian): "In football it is difficult. Also, if you sign the contract, you never have the guarantee. I have a contract, or a lot of managers have a contract and there is never guarantee. But in football, you never know. But it is true if I want some player to stay with us, I fight a lot."
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via Sky Sports): "We won exactly the same as Chelsea did this year in a different way last season, absolutely a different way."
