what i mean is he could be part of the problem at safc ,there is not much coming through now ,or has been in the past sorry i meant constant ....doh
The trouble with the EL is that we didn't have a big enough squad, and imo Laudrup favoured the EL to further his own reputation and as a result, put our PL status in huge jeopardy. As our current squad stands, should we keep our strongest 16-17 players, we would still be 6-8 quality players short of competing in the EL.
Definitely rate Monk as one of the better up and coming managers. But I'm always reluctant to judge managers as good bad or indifferent as ultimately it's the players who earn the manager his keep. People say Ferguson Mourinho Guardiola etc are world class mangers truth is they've always had world class players so is it the managers or the players they buy or have coming through the youth team?
said this for a long time now ,be careful what you wish for ,if a club has not got the resources it can cripple your league status with injuries and such like never mind the wage bill for a complete squad with rotation of players ,most clubs do not support this like the top half dozen do.
Monk gave Ki a fair crack of the whip. Something ML wouldn't do. Ki has been fantastic this season. Ki was made scapegoat by sections of our fans when his a form deteriorated but he was playing with an injury. Proper next level player I wish we had back. @The Ultimate Mackem thinks he's ****
If you had to state his strengths as a manager what would you say? Like pretty much everyone I thought it would be a disastrous appointment but far from it. I'm just curious what a Swans fan thinks about him, he's obviously doing a good job but what in particular is he doing well?
Been linked to West Ham as well. I imagine he's told his agent to get his name out in the papers either for an improved contract or a guarantee of funds. Don't think he's got any intention of leaving.
How do you work that out? He's already replaced Michu, JDG, Chico, Vorm, Pablo etc with Gylfi, Ki, Cork, Gomis, Fabianski, Fernandez,Naughton and Montero etc
Monk kicked Canas and JDG out and brought back Ki to replace them. Do you not understand the definition of replaced?
Come on now, if we'd have offered Ki in the summer you'd have signed him. Monk recognised his obvious ability and gave him a new contract asap. Saying that, Ki is far better than I thought he could be.
