Eddie is the new Mark Hughes… same old format, best manager they could currently get, give it two years and they will boot him out regardlessIncremental improvement.
They’re basically copying City who didn’t become brilliant overnight. They’ll go through some transitional players who improve the team considerably ( probably putting them on the cusp of Europe or maybe put them in a secondary competition), giving them credibility before they can attract the Silva snd Rodris of the world. Bruno G and Isak are exactly the profile that will improve them and give them credibility as a destination
Similarly, Howe is a transitional coach before they can grab a major name.
I've seen a decent amount of Isak- 59m seems like way too much. I'm prepared to eat my words if he sets the prem alight though. I'd rather have Callum Wilson personally...

the Best thing to come from it is an example for development players of what happens when you believe your own hype and lose focus.If someone told you 5 years ago Dele Ali would end up at the graveyard retirement club Besiktas, you would give their head a shake. What a wasted career and piss poor attitude
Yeh, but they’re available for other teams that are out so called competition. Why not us?Because none of the ones we wanted were available! I mean, how difficult is this to grasp???
Howe won’t suit their brand. They’ll want glitz and a big name, same as city once they had a couple of seasons under their belts. It’s one big sports washing ego tripDiff. is Howe is decent and Hughes was fucking shite.
Fulham
QPR
Stoke
Southampton

Wonder if saints might come in for himIt's understandable though.
Teams will move on to potentially their second, third, fourth choices the later the transfer window rolls on and I can imagine it's just easier for Winks himself to stay in England as well as want to play in the Premier League over all else.
He'll move though, regardless. It'd just be nice if it was sooner rather than later.
Agree.
I’m sure they’ve run the numbers and expect a healthy return. Will they get it… how knowsThey've just shelled out North of £4Bn. You honestly think they'll sell for more in 3-5 years?
Part of the £4+Bn was paying off the debt the club had run up, so it's not actually part of the club "value."
I honestly think they'll be lucky to get their money back, unless the super League happens.
He may not want to move.
Yes. That will be their statement. Together with "we signed 6 players weeks before the start of the new season and another one for the future, all of which Conte signed off on."Only seven days left to bring in another couple of players I can see this being the "we tried but no one available" statement incoming.
Apparently Lazio are in for him and have agreed terms but not finalized. That would be a good move for him, they’re in EL and use a back 4 normally. Sarri’s still a very good manager, he’d be their immediate starter. Certainly a better move than Forest.
Which ones that we wanted were available and signed for other teams?Yeh, but they’re available for other teams that are out so called competition. Why not us?
