The original question was genuine. I don't doubt he's doing a good job. If you finish top 4, do you think that a) he'll attract the right players, and b) push you on to challenge for the league, or do well in the Champions League?

Yes to both, we are already attracting the right players.
Botman, Guimaraes, Trippier, Isak..these are world class players (or close to) that have joined a club not even in Europe yet.
This isn't me being arrogant, it's a fact, they see the vision and potential of the club NOW, imagine what we will attract when we actually are in the CL and competing for titles.
Amazing times for NUFC.
I wouldn't class any of them as world class tbh.
But let's say you get the players, is he capable of getting you competing for the league or getting you past the group stages of the CL?
Well i can't see into the future but he sure as **** has earned the opportunity to have a crack at it, you not agree?
I agree. They all have potential but there's a lot to do yet but no doubt there's potential there.
Botman will be one of the best CB's in the world in about 3 years time, honestly i watch him every week. He probably already is. He is better than Van Dijk.
He's 22 and doesn't make any errors, absolute beast.
Just cos the media aren't saying anything because he plays for NUFC not MUFC.
Why do you think we are keeping so many clean sheets? He's a ****ing monster.

Nobody's calling him ****. But that don't mean he's world class.
Nothing to do with the media or who he plays for. Is there even a world class CB in the PL at the moment?? I can't think of one.
Like, i couldn't give a **** if fans of other clubs don't notice Botman, but if you can be arsed, watch him.
He is ****ing 22 and taking the piss out of premier league attacks, that's a fact not an opinion.
He is the best CB in the league, Thiago Silva apart maybe. (that's an opinion)
I quite like Ruben Dias and Laporte. Van Dijk still probably the best in the league though (although he’s not been at his best because of injuries for a while now)
Van Dijk is **** now tbh.
It doesn't matter how good at reading the game you are if you can't physically move, he's ****ed.

You’re not being arrogant, you’re being deluded.
None of them are world class, at least not yet. They’re all good players that you’re overhyping because for about 15 years you’ve been used to watching cannon fodder dross at SJP.
Botman will be world class 100%, he is better than Bruno (dif positions i know).
I'll make up my mind about Botman once I've seen his aura.
In the meantime I'll be watching Rita's Ora
