4 out of 5 are not proven at all. It's a big gamble to go into the season without any established CB or CM signings. Nevermind the fact that we have a glaring hole on the right wing which we've flat out refused to address this window.
How on earth could he possible do that? He needs some balance in the squad. Players with experience and know how. No doubt he expressed his opinion on who should stay, who should go and he wanted to be signed. But it’s not him doing the ground work moving players or bringing them in. His work is to do the best with what he got. And part of that is installing faith and a good atmosphere in the group. Can hardly say he is failing at that,, now can you?
Faith and atmosphere won't win as many games as good players over bad players. He made his bed with his big talk at the end of last season. Do we have another candidate for a job title change? Not being a manager but a coach?
Its not his fault but i wish people would stop with this nonsense that a few warm words is suddenly going to create a good team spirit.
Yes.
Maybe that's actually a good thing as 95% of all our "established"players are absolute hump. A few kids with no fear hopefully will do us some good
I love the way you think Ole has 10 buyers lined up for each player. We are asking for about 7M for Darmian who is an Italian international and we still can't get rid.
And that tells you where we're at. Better giving them away and clearing them off the wage bill. Sanchez and Darmian fit that bill and shouldnt be on ours.
Both need to go but the club are not gonna just give international players away on the house, similar situation with Madrid and Bale, big wages but just because he is not wanted, they are not going to just let him leave for free, that is ridiculous.
I only mentioned Darmian and Sanchez. The rest serve a purpose for now.
Personally say that Sanchez serves more of a purpose at the moment than Rojo but thats just my opinion
Problem with Sanchez is we're paying him over £1m per month. Other than one late match winner I can't remember a thing he's done to justify it. Horses for courses. We have several players who are candidates for the chop.
Last season he scored 1 league goal all season which is totally unacceptable in my opinion.
We made our bed, can't blame Sanchez for earning that we offered it to him. He has a second chance as no one wants him and you're not going to just throw him on the scrapheap just yet as there is a quality player in there, maybe in a fluid more attacking system he might come good, be a massive unexpected plus if he does.
They'll find something else to moan about.
He's not going to throw the guy that hired him under the bus. He's not that guy.
Woodward will feed him to the lions the first chance he gets.

How does he do this? I'm sure he made his feelings very clear during the summer yet look at us, imo he has been hung out to dry, and I just hope the fans remember who is to blame here, because it isn't him.
Im sure Ole wanted a RW and a CM but Woodward could not deliver.
He DID demand those players. We targerted both Jadon Sancho and Christian Eriksen, on top of Sean Longstaff, both were non-starters for different reasons and Longstaff had a cozy £50m price tag. I honestly don't know who else we might have actually targeted outside of the rumour mill, but I'm starting to get quite bummed about the club not having delivered a world class partner for Paul Pogba.
So much conjecture and projection. He wanted Sancho that much we know. We also know we weren't linked with any other wingers. A more likely explanation is Ole wants to sign specific players
No he didn't, he gutted the squad, it was reckless.
