Iirc the dude leaves Madrid for minutes, doubt he'll come here to just be rotation again.

Casemiro is capable of amazing passes but he's not a consistent good passer overall, at least not during his time here.

It's fine to write off 1 bad season when their whole team are poor like this, but Mount? Are we actually targeting a player whose heatmap is more similar to Bruno than Eriksen or any other 8s usually mentioned to pair up with Case and just hope that works?

But it's not like he needs to go there now to do a relegation race. Next summer and it'd be more of a clean slate and an appealing project, no?

The guy just declined Spurs' offer in the summer and extended his contract, no? What exactly would he need smoke to abadon ship now for freaking Villa when they're top of the league and looking to have a good run in CL?

I mean yeah, I agree that it would be tough for Poch to overcome those 2 if they just take turns having seasons in the high 90s range. That applies to any new manager, though, especially since the only candidate with history of getting a 90-ish season is already snapped up. Still, Pep's soon to...

After browsing some manager threads on the front page, I've only seen Poch mentioned a few times. Most of those lean towards not rating him, some would even put him below Rodgers and Potter for example. Coupled with the fact that there's no seperate thread for him, guess he's not rated that...

As others have pointed out, the most obvious one is Lingard. After that, maybe Henderson, Dalot or Telles, though it's probably cheaper to just poach Leno and Tagliafico. Actually, Tuanzebe seems a solid buy, they do have some CBs nearly out of contracts. I recall Cavani wants to go back to SA...

I mean, if they somehow appoint the caretaker permanently after a short, good run again, then we have a bigger problem than sack Ole now or summer. Not that I can point to a surefire interim right now, but I think we're just gonna free falling with Ole at this rate. Probably need that initial...

I used to think even with Ole, this squad could sleep walk into a top4 spot. Now, though, with Arsenal looking like they got their shit together, Spurs having a league specialist and West Ham might or might not keeping up this form, can we really stay afloat and wait till summer for manager...
