    As true as that is, he won't elevate the team to be challenging for major silverware unless he can flex in the transfer market and have an attractive wage bill. Im sure he'd jump at the chance to be in the mix for a top club. He probably sees...
  • It's not just due to the report, the clause just cements an obvious view that he wouldn't consider United as a heavily affiliated ex Liverpool player. Also the existence of such a clause isn't just generic reports. The CEO gave a nod of...
  • Yeah I mean from the availability this season, we don't have players that can break top 4. It points to poor squad building more than anything else.
  • Not any bigger club. The three clubs he used to play for. It goes without saying that he is still invested in said clubs as a result.
  • Park the coach, both teams have had very good players for their style (which relies on a high line and a cohesive press). VdV is effectively a cheat code, and Udogie is very well balanced. Porro was starting to find his form since last season...
  • This season they haven't though. I think this season we've had to rely on Maguire and Lindelof/AWB for starting players at CB and LB. Im not looking for whys here just pointing out the fact that the starting XI for us this season has generally...

    Imagine if he became a Ferguson for United hey
  • It's widely reported but OK.
  • Thats not relevant to my statement though. VdV Udogie Porto and Romero (bit of a random order apologies) is a better back 4. Bentacur is better than most of our midfielders, and although Bissouma has had a torrid second half of the season he's...
  • I dont think we are that good. I don't rate Rashford, Maguire, Wan Bissaka. Casemiro is over the hill and garnacho shouldn't be playing as much as he has. Tottenham and Villa both have a better XI I feel.
  • The reported clause (even if verbal) was for Bayern Liverpool and Real. It was there for a reason.

    I think De Zerbi is £12m? I agree for the right manager it's small. But there's a fair bit of uncertainty with him too.

    I prefer O Neil to De Zerbi, the latter reportedly being out the picture only because of the money required in breaking his contract?
  • VP89 replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    For me Nagelsmann is best and he's quite straight forward to get. However I wonder whether INEOS are just not well informed enough about him to make a move. Gary O Neill is a complete outside shout, who I do rate but is definitely not ready...

    He might feel he's taken that squad as far as he can.
