Roboc7's latest activity

  • I agree we essentially need Casemiro’s replacement and a player to compete with or deputise for them and the same for Mainoo. Four players who actually play those positions and you allow Eriksen, Casemiro and Amrabat to leave. You then use...
  • Of course he will walk in with a year left, he’s not going to walk away from the huge payoff he will receive when he inevitably sacked. Even if he was to get a new contract it’s meaningless as it wouldn’t save him from the sack. Bayern won’t be...
  • He offers very little and isn’t even very good defensively other than 1v1 situations. It’s a no brainer to sell him before his contract runs out next summer but given all the other needs not sure if there will be time and funds to do that.
  • Roboc7 replied to the thread Antony | 2023/24 Performances.
    He was just about ok, not as bad as he usually is but he is complete lost cause, he just doesn’t have the quality at this level. Need to just accept he is a flop and give Amad a chance at least.
  • It is a Frankenstein squad but as you point out he has just continued that issue with the recruitment and made it worse. The tactics are also Frankenstein and almost nonsensical which is his biggest issue as it undermines a lot of the...
  • LB - Maatsen CB - Diomande DM - Zubimendi CM - Thuram RW - Bardghji CF - Sesko I think that is the type of window we need to add some balance to the squad, realistically probably have to go for cheaper option at CB than Diomande and Zunimendi...
  • This is just buying some time/leeway, they are going to keep him until the end of the season irrespective of results. They are going to be under pressure to sack him after every game we don’t win now, which could be majority of the remaining games.
  • Whether what he is trying to do is more complicated or not they both have the same basic problem, it’s not going to be good enough to compete at the top of the table. He has to go for the same reason Ole had to go it’s not just the results it’s...
  • Roboc7 replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    And the most likely outcome if you did extend his contract is exactly what happened with Ole, sacked a few months later anyway for increased compensation. He goes at the end of the season I’m sure, we’ll hear more and more speculation about him...
  • That’s never going to happen, they are building a structure that they want long term but the manager is going to be dispensable just as they are at every club. There is no way people like Berrada and Ashworth are going to allow themselves to be...
  • Roboc7 replied to the thread Who are the "problem" players..
    The vast majority of the squad simply aren’t good enough and/or durable enough. I don’t know if there is a single player at this stage of their career I would trust to play at the level (and stay fit) to be a starter in a title winning or...
  • No idea what is going on with him, surely it suits everyone to just move on and have a fresh start. But then who is going to buy him.
  • He was pretty crap other than the goal but that’s what he’s been like all season. His finishing and runs into the box have improved but still shocked at this stage of his career so little of the rest of his game has.
  • He’s just nowhere near good enough, not helped by being played at LB and unlucky with penalty but doesn’t do himself any favours with a lot of the sloppiness and switching off. He either has to be sold this summer or he runs last year of...
  • He was really poor, did liven up a bit in extra time at least and took penalty well. Lack of service is a problem but he is clearly a work in progress we massively overpaid for and are too reliant on.
