I take it you think Romero is worth a spot in the starting 11, despite his recklessness and stupidity costing us points on a near-weekly basis? I guess that's also assuming Dier does sign that 3yr extension (hurts just writing it). We need to cut Dier, Sanch, Rodon & Tangs for sure. That's 4 out. If Cuti stays, he owes us big friggin time so better get his shit together. But yeah, you don't ship 4 out and bring just one in. We need 2 or 3...but won't do what's required, just what's cheapest (like another Lenglet loan...kill me please)


If Perisic goes, and I reckon he will ask for a transfer to a CL club, we're left with PL-unproven Udogie and Davies who at his age is better off playing CB


Hojbjerg is another Dier, he'll stay and likely start most/all games, especially with Roddy out til Nov and Biss a bit fragile. His duo with Skippy will keep getting battered by other teams' CM but that's where we're at. Reckon our new 8/10 won't be really new...GLC


I'm with you, think we'll sign one and that's if we're lucky. Kulu will stay (30 friggin mil), Richy too cause nobody will give us 60 for him after that car crash of a season. Danjuma would be mad to wanna stick around. I wouldn't be against that Mbeumo from Brentford...


Continuation of the rebuild?! Didn't know we'd started one...


Good luck with that last bit...

I was going to pick this post apart, but there is so much made up stuff in it, I won't even bother.

My biggest concern is whoever comes in will still be expected to work with the same players even if they don't fit their system

A good manager will tweak his system to accommodate the players he has at his disposal until he can get the players he needs to play his system. Something that Conte had no idea how to do.

And if the system tweak results in something better than what the manager's preferred system is, a good manager will recognize that and stick with it. It's an ever evolving process and the good managers recognize this and embrace it. They don't just have a Plan A.

Example being the number of managers using their FB's in midfield this season.

Based on my experience with Dutch people that's just a very Dutch thing to say.

All the Dutchmen that I have met have been incredibly straightforward and blunt in how they talk and approach things. Which can definitely be interpreted as being rude or dickish. But that's now how they think of it.

One of my cousins is married to a Dutch man, I can confirm this!

It would be accurate for him in his current position because he's already had offers to go to better levels for more money.

He's already won the league for Feyenoord.
