Schmeichels pinky's latest activity

Interesting, I see the exact opposite: frustrated fans not seeing the very obvious potential because the price made them expect a prime Van Basten. If you want maybe you’re actually one of the few who bother) you can read everything about his...

You’re slating him based on rumors about something every player in the world would feel - that they should play. Unless he’s creating a bad environment it’s perfectly fine that he’s not satisfied with being benched. That’s what I’d expect from...

Sums up the reactions nicely. The “idiots” here (and I would never use that word myself) are the ones blaming a youngster for not thriving in a dysfunctional team. It’s always the same with you people. No one bar maybe Kane or other top 10...

Yeah, so weird that a player would like to play. Very classy to call him deluded

I don’t get the need to slack him off like that. We all know he hasn’t got the physicality to play for us, at least not DM and CM, but he was still the best passer on the pitch. By far.

I agree with that. By long term plan I meant for our style of play and how to get there, not structurally. I just don’t want a 1-2 seasons manager again who will only think short term when requesting players etc.

Or maybe they think EtH should go, but don’t buy the Tuchel-big-name hype. I don’t want another Mou or LvG, I want a visionary. I also don’t want anyone without the least bit of self reflection and empathy in charge of young people. You need some...

Hence “key positions”. It’s a balance of course, but if we get the right man for the long term we obviously need to let him have some influence.

You’re right. Sorry.

I’m not saying you just go out blindly and pick someone off the street and give him time. For a long term model to succeed you obviously need sporting directors and other senior staff who know what they’re doing. That seems to be our biggest post...

Well, there are other promising managers out there, you know - in this league alone there are some very interesting ones, a couple in the Championship and then - as you might be aware - they also play football in other countries. For example the...

Thank you. I also think he is very, very good tactically. My reservation isn’t his falling out with the club, but rather his demeanor and man management. Granted, it’s based mostly on his time at Chelsea and my impression from interviews, but I...

Genuinely interested - for you who want Tuchel: Do you think he is a good choice long term? Do you see him as interim for a season or two? Or do you only care about results next year?

Me too. It’s a risk of course, but everything involves risk - even if you get a proven manager it’s far from guaranteed he’ll be a success at this club. And with Tuchel, as you say, the probability of failure is quite high - and the chance of...

I’d still like to see him take Bruno’s place in certain games. He has patience and see things even Bruno doesn’t. If we don’t plan on using him in a more advanced role next season, there’s no reason at all to keep him - unless our style of play...
