Pretty lucky that RDZ wants the same players that Frank did........
Maybe we can get Walker on the cheap as well and have both positions covered?

Have we changed as a club? Have we fuck
I thought the point of a DoF was that we didn’t sign players on the behest of the manager?Pretty lucky that RDZ wants the same players that Frank did........

I thought our DoF was a clown who should have left already who oversaw us finishing 17th.....twice....
Ain’t that the truth.
If he scores, I’ll probably have to shout, “Well done Robertson (very loud) you cunt (quietly)” for the first few months.
Both things can be true.
It is all opinions and I did state that I wish it was the Robbo of years ago. As for Udogie,87% pass completion is actually shit when every pass is a safe one to a wide player,inside or back to a left centre back. I’ve seen enough of Udogie to believe he’ll never be better than average. He can’t cross,scared to shoot whe he gets in a decent position and I think most importantly he’s a lazy defender. He doesn’t stop crosses,switches off and can’t defend his back post.
We all have our opinions on players and he’s one id happily see us sell.
All we need is basic competence in every position and we’ll shoot up the table. Robinson is better than Udogie in that respect.
Remember how much more organised we were when Ben stepped in for a couple of games. That’s all it is.
What a sad state of affairs when pretty much anyone who can play football is an improvement on our current first 11.

Horgan Wibbs Ghite?Thought we made a rule not to start a player thread after a HWG, especially since the MGW thing
I believe Shady was referring to "Here We Go", the catchphrase Fabrizio Ramano uses to indicate a completed signing.
The ones that I know say that as long as he plays one game a week his legs are fine (tho he's obviously slower).
So works out for us this season and if we get Europe next season and he hasn't moved on we can rotate with Udogie/Souza/a new LB.
Yes and No to all that.
It might help to know that a good number of transfers are a year or more in the making, which might start with a coach having worked with a player before or the player might have been scouted by the club etc ....... but for various reasons the transfer does not get done immediately (might be on players side or club wants to wait for an existing player to move on etc
So any coach coming in will probably say he wants half a dozen players in, and both club and manager know getting 6 done involves a lot of uncertainty about getting deals done ..... so club will say 'these are deals which are part done which we think we can close' . Manager will say I like X and Y but not A and B, so might be able to do with just these 4 in.
So a new manager can choose players to join ... but knows he's more likely to get most players in if he accepts a couple of 'half done deals'
Reality is that with a 25 man squad and most teams only bringing in about 5 players a season, its going to take a new manager 5 years to get a squad with all 'his' players in. But as mast managers only last 2 years at a club, the majority of managers play with a squad where MORE than half the players were not his choice - they were a former manager's choice.
So all managers know that most of players in the squad are not his choice but he'll generally find a way to play most. So not really different for Roberto accepting some of Lange's suggestions.
A small but valid illustration is the Bristol Rovers manager who said (I saw the interview) that he saw Spurs u21 player Yusuf Akhamrich when he scouted an u21 match last year and liked him. Spurs said 'we don't think he's ready for a loan yet but we'll keep in touch'.
This January Abramoch joined Bristol Rovers on loan and has scored 7 goals for them (their 2nd highest scorer of season) ...... about one year after being first scouted, and its been a great loan for both Rovers manager and the player.
Not a conspiracy, that's how life works in football !
No way RDZ is letting them sign anyone without his say so. He raves about Milner and there is a reason the Muppets in charge are all talking about leadership etc and it's because it's from RDZ telling them what's missing.
He's a good signing and will prove a fair few on here wrong.
As in savinho! Cos we were linked last summer with Frank as manager now story circulating again we’re interested yet it’s a new manager
de Zerbi I’d have thought woukd pick his own players has the club not learned it’s lesson let the people who know about football do the football things…..There's no way he hasn't signed off on it. With the power he has he can definitely veto signings. If he didn't think he can add something we wouldn't be signing him.
Hate to break it to you, but whilst we operate with a Technical/Sporting Director model - every signing is a club signing!
