We just need to give Romero a competent partner - Laporte would be great.

Yeah, Romero needs someone who will keep him in check and cover his attacking instincts. He's easily our best CB at the moment when he can reign in his aggression. It doesn't need to be anyone big name - just a player who knows how to play in a defensive unit (like Toby did under Poch) rather than as an individual.

Seems like all the Celtic fans I know are seething about the idea of Ange coming to us, but then again they were seething about Rodgers to Leicester too.
 
Nagelsmann - from German press and also Fabrizo Romano, he would have considered coming but wanted power choosing DoF which clearly the club wasn’t willing to give. Could have been done it appears if we really wanted it.

Slot - we wouldn’t pay the release fee which was quite high.

Poch - can understand reservation but otherwise the clear option and confirmed by Ossie and others he wanted back.

Luis Enrique - yeh agreed, I am not sure this was compatible at all given what he would need.

I am not against Poste, he seems to tick some boxes but it’s a huge step up and we had the chance to get others who ticked the same boxes but less risk it’s actually a big risk that Levy has played.


As soon as Nagelsman (or any other) starts making major demands you have to walk away

They either want the job as per the brief or they don't.....we've already been down that path with Conte
 
The players shouldn't be choosing the type of football that the team plays.

Do you think Pep goes to John Stones and asks what formation they should pick today?
I think you're taking it a bit too literally.

The point is no player can enjoy being asked to defend for 90 mins.

Just getting a whiff of a manager who will want them to attack will be a positive in their mind.

His demands appeared to be shaping the philosophy of the club. For me that is fine, a Naglesmann Rangnick duo as manager and DoF would have fixed us up, u less he was making outrageous financial demands it was a missed opportunity.
 
I've just learned he was Migrant Number 24...

"The Postecoglou family arrived in Melbourne by boat in 1970 after father Jim lost his business following the 1967 Greek military coup.
Young Ange was only five when photographed holding his immigration number "24" to his chest on arrival."

You know that means we are going to win a trophy in 2024 right? Right? RIGHT?
 
Good thread, shows the challenges that he will face while still acknowledging that he is a good coach.

Also makes the prospect of selling Kane a lot easier to digest, since the money can be used to fix other areas and not just getting a replacement.

I mean, the board should be making money available to fix the squad without selling Kane.

We aren't seeing Liverpool selling Salah to afford a whole new midfield even though they need one.

Guess what?They will get a whole new midfield as well, even though they just spent 100m on Darwin, 60m on Diaz, 40m on Gakpo.
That's because they don't have lightweight owners.

Not seeing them sell Salah yet, whilst also not seeing them buy any midfielders yet.

However, the sales of Coutinho, Suarez, Sterling, Torres, Mane over the past several years have been to allow them to build the side. They sell a fuck of a lot more players that they would rather keep than we do.

Seems to work for them, but that wasn’t the point you were making.

It looks like he was originally number "94" and wrote over the top of it
