Not if he's ran up the pitch to win the ball back because he "the beast".
I dont think he can play in an organised pressing system. He's too much of an individual with a huge ego.

Sandro provides a lot of protection for the team, had a good game out tonight considering his previous play time in last 6 months.
Unless there is a personal issue with him at this stage, I think it reflects poorly on Poch if he can't figure out a way to use him.
Way too many of our midfielders would be out the door for me before Sandro, and if Poch plans to use Capoue, he is the only likely replacement/cover (and in my opinion Sandro on form takes Capoue's place).

Why would reflect poorly on Poch if he can't find a place in the side for him? What if he considers our other midfielders better than him or just better fits for how he wants us to play? Doesn't look like he's been getting it wrong so far. Or is it maybe because he's a fan favorite? Sentimental reasons are a very poor selection criteria IMO.
If we just stuck with the characters (Sandro, Holtby, BAE), likeable lads (Dawson) and academy products (Townsend), not to mention those we have let go over the years (Robinson, Corluka, Defoe, Kranjcar, Boateng and numerous others), we'd be doing a lot worse.

Sandro is a defensive shield, not always required when you play dross like QPR and AEL, but can help against the bigger teams.
Sandro (imo) is a much better player than all those others you have mentioned, Spurs fans should know how much of a difference a DM makes, even Poch has seen it with Capoue. If Capoue gets a long term injury, who is going to play that role for us? the best option and as I said before, when fit, a better option than Capoue is Sandro.
Hence I think Poch is missing the boat if he can't figure out how to use him.

Emirates Marketing Project play with two very physical midfielders, it's what everyone always says arsenal are lacking, united don't really have a midfield, Chelsea have 30 or so midfielders and Liverpool play Lucas there who has a very similar role to Sandro when he plays.

No one is saying that Poch wants to (or should) play without a defensive shield, Capoue offers that too but is better on the ball than Sandro. I think the pursuit of Schneiderlin tells us a lot about what he is looking for.

..and the fact that we have not bought him may point towards us not paying over the odds for a player who is not much of an upgrade. In short if Poch desperately needed the Frenchman I'm sure this would have been wrapped up. Schneiderlin may provide a slight upgrade, a ready made player for Poch who knows exactly what he wants. And that is a good thing and he would likely provide a slight upgrade, so any small advantage seems worth taking. But if Poch desperately needed Schneiderlin it would have been concluded. No one has confirmed that Poch does not like our midfield players. The defence on otherhand was clearly identified as needing upgrades and that probably tells us more about what Poch was looking for.
Totally agree, in addition, if Capoue starts and gets a yellow early then it would make sense to replace him with another tough tackling DM like Sandro, and vice versa.
Moreover, even against weak opposition like AEL today, Sandro prevented them from breaking and posing a threat to our defence, as they did in the first leg, on numerous occasions.
I say keep both and have one on the pitch at any given time.

It was more the qualities that Schneiderlin brings that I was highlighting and his preference for Capoue over Sandro so far supports this.
No one is saying that Sandro is a bad player but I find it hard to see where he fits into Poch's team as anything other than a stop gap.

System first. If Poch thinks that Sandro isn't a great fit to his system then it would reflect poorly on Poch to try to shoehorn Sandro into that system.

Source = His agent. Who then went on to say that we always want a lot of money for our players.

The Capoue who Sherwood incompetently could not utilise or the Capoue of the last two games?
Based on what exactly? Sandro's inferior passing or his constant jumping into tackles remaining stranded if the tackle misses - or (as so often happens) yellow carded?

You may have missed it but Poch came to Spurs with an open mind and no preference - he is certainly immune from the irrational Sandro idolisation and groupie culture which many posters seem to have been indoctrinated into.

I'd say he's gone now.
Poch will have been let know about him coming out and making public comments against Sherwood when he was dropped.
No way Poch will give him an opportunity to do the same.

You seem to be very passionate in your hatred of Sandro, I've no idea why someone would harbor these feelings against him based on his time and performances for us?

When's the last time he had a standout game for us?

Are you for real? I don't hate Sandro and cheer for him as loud as any other player when he pulls on the white jersey.
To me, however, I cannot see anything particularly special about Sandro - IMHO has a lot of "Emperor's New Clothes" syndrome in him. He runs around making tackles but is as much a liability as an asset. He has also major difficulties in being a team player - Harry said this, Sherwood intimated something similar; he makes news for his ridiculous hair cuts and tweets instead of what he does on the pitch.
I don't expect you to agree but, if the Stambouli transfer is finalised, it would seem Poch shares my opinion...

When was the last time he was fit enough to play 90 minutes for us?
He's been unlucky with injuries, but he played well yesterday and got 80 minutes under his belt. Well on the way for more football this season with us hopefully.
