He does not play attacking football.
I don't think there's been any really, but I strongly suspect that we'll be heavily linked with him the moment PSG's CL campaign is over, win or lose.

First of all, in a perfect world, we don't lose 7-0 to Liverpool
The ITK here who said we're getting him didn't get it right this time.
To be fair he said offered terms, he just told us to feck off
.Wtf??? Taking the easy road are ya Nagels?
Nah, we'd just win the league cup and were actually playing well. It would've been considered completely knee jerk to sack him after the liverpool defeat.
He was offered terms, that was basically confirmed last night when his agent said it’s not just Bayern in for him.
Yeah, very impressive. Do you like him?
They will throw money to Xabi and he will "change his mind"
Agreed, that’s one of the reasons I’d back Tuchel.
I think he likes it at Villa. Monchi and him still have work to do there. It's only getting started.
Pop down to Ladbrokes ….reckon they’ll give you a 1,000/1
A lot. And his basic ideas how to play are relatively similar to Alonso's, so Stuttgart's and Leverkusen's players should work well together - probably better than including the Dortmund or some of the Bayern players who are used to a different approach from their clubs.
Yeah the Germany NT job is super easy
Going back to an employer that treated you that badly is whatnottodo101.
Solskjaer got his opportunity at a massive club and it ultimately didn't work out. I highly doubt he'll ever get a similar opportunity.
What changed?
Germany has 3 leagues for the whole country (1. Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga, 3. Liga - different name for the 3rd tier because that's organised by the DFB, not the DFL, but that's semantics). These three are officially professional football in Germany. The tier below that are five Regionalligen (as the name says, each only for a certain region of Germany). They are semi-professional leagues. So it's a huge quality difference if you play in 3. Liga or in Regionalliga.
You think he would've finished 3rd and 2nd in the Bundesliga with Bayern? They get one real challenger every 5-10 years for the title, Ole would win it at a canter like every Bayern manager does. The squad suits Ole's ideas and he would make them a good cup team.Solskjaer got his opportunity at a massive club and it ultimately didn't work out. I highly doubt he'll ever get a similar opportunity.
Their board and fans would not have let him get away with his first two seasons at United. He'd have been sacked multiple times.
Solskjaer is probably getting a Europa League club at best if he ever does go back into management.
I'll give him this, I didn't think I'd ever dislike a United manager's spell as much as his. But ten Hag has excelled in that regard. He's making Ole look better than he actually was with each month that passes by.
He's a Barcelona Guardiola zealot. So pass the other team to death. Probably just exactly what you would expect him to play.
Just winning The Bundesliga isn't enough. That's why Bayern have gone through multiple managers post Pep. And much better managers than Solskjaer.
True. I just remembered you said that.
So winning the Bundesliga and having a real chance in the CL most seasons "wouldn't fly at Bayern", well that's what they've been doing since like 2008.
Sadly no Ladbrokes in my country
The kind that demands of his players high levels of concentration and elite decision-making to work well. There are no magical solutions here, and his midfield - on the ball - is much better than a lot of people give them credit for. In Pedri and De Jong, they have two options who can either pass or carry the ball through the lines with ease. I guess he'll be happy to work with Mainoo, but the shape of a functional midfield will probably be a struggle.
Except he finished top 3 after the horrible finish the season before, having played more matches than any other team on a terribly thin squad, and with Weghorst as the only available striker. And he won a trophy, and he played FA Cup final
The point is, that season before EtH was an outlier, not the norm. So it was to be expected that things would improve. A return to the already underwhelming norm (although I agree the two cup finals, one won is a bit more than that) is not a big cause to celebrate him.
"improve" was expected to be top 6 finish with no trophies, and not what he achieved
Nah overachieved is putting it too strongly, he did very well to meet our minimum expectations is how I'd put it.
