In reality to please everyone. It should be an unheard of gem from south America so we can say we've finally unearthed someone.
On further reflection. PIF should fund the club to start archeological digs in Egypt. Discover the lost tombs of cleopatra and mark Antony and then we can say we’ve dug up some hidden gems and boost the the PSR coffers
Yeah but instead we'll take over Fort Knox and claim that we've unearthed billions of pounds worth of gold bars
There’s a load of options. We’re clearly not getting Enrique any time soon, sadly, as he’d be far and away my number one statement choice. But Glasner, Iraola, Hurzeler, Hoeness, Motta, Terzic and many others could be fine choices. There’s a young Austrian bloke in Saudi at Al Ahli might be worth a punt. Howe got a bit of luck today that might turn things around as the concussion to Pope and ban for Burn means he has to play Ramsdale and Hall. If Tino returns and then we get Gordon and Wissa back there should be enough to get results but my concern is the complete lack of effort and energy. Something is off.
Not sure but the last two away games have reminded me of a time i want to forget, the Bruce and Ashley days *shudders*, that's how bad they have been. Tonali and Bruno are two of the best centre mids in Europe, especially for passing, yet we can't control a game with both of them playing, that's on the manager. I remember when Howe first took over and he said we'd have to play a non possession style first to get results and just stay in the league, then as the seasons went on he wanted us to become more of a possession based side. I'm seeing nothing of that, we can hardly string two passes together.
Actually you know what Southgate would have took Burn off as soon as he got that yellow... Just let that sink in guys. Any road we're facing a long season, so just got to laugh it all off... We'll pull away from the relegation battle after Christmas.
The sad reality is there's no point sacking Howe at the moment. Let him either fix things, or let him go out on his shield if we fail this season.
What the start to the season has shown, is if the player is good enough then this bullshit of wanting premiership proven players, needs to stop. Ramsey, Elanga and Wissa all paid a premium because they are 'premiership proven' and they have been worse than the players bought abroad. I really hope Ross W starts to influence our transfer dealings and we look outside of the premiership. Players costs are inflated and everyone sees us coming. Please start finding these 20-30m gems instead of spunking 150m on premiership players, which so far, have contributed sweet FA to our season!
There's actually quite a few peddling it via socal media, and the away fans were signing you don't know what you're doing at the end yesterday. Most people don't myself included, but he's on a life support machine until the end of the season if this continues.
Brentford went data driven before they were even promoted and I suspect most prem clubs have now, but Newcastle went with a man's eyes, until now, so things should get better over the next few windows.
I asked this on twitter yesterday on a thread where loads were calling for him to be sacked, only one person could actually recommend a manager, Marco Rose....never heard of him.
There was a Stefan Borson interview on Talksport on Friday (IIRC) that basically said we could spend plenty due to the Isak sale... Maybe the truth is somewhere in between. ****ing Everton...
I agree he gets the whole season without question for me, but if we don’t qualify for Europe then it’s time to move on. Timing could work too, he goes to England and we get Tommy Tickles.
