I can support this. Will be fun to see us try and play good football again. Will probably mean that we at least focus on targeting players of a good technical level. Seems a good man, happy to see somebody with his journey in football make it to a big club, even if that club happens to be ours and he happens to be a pretty big risk. Really hard to emphasise quite how bad the non-Celtic/Rangers teams are in that league.
I hope the fixture list is kind over the first few games of the season.
Start off shit and he might soon start to realise he's out of his depth.
Even Luton away is a tougher game than any Celtic may face in Scotland apart from when they face Rangers.
Hardly any gimmes in the PL especially for us in the state we're in at present.

That’s what happens when you’ve got Everton’s failed head of recruitment and a bloke from Watford in charge of signings. Add that to levy and we are utterly fucked on the transfer front.
Ange popping on an eyepatch and turning up at the houses of former players...
That's a great clip.
I look forward to Ange vs Tanguy.
I now feel reassured that if Ndombele has learnt how to run for the team, we can utilise his talent.
And if he's still a "fucking lazy cunt" (copyright Ange), then he'll be out the door pronto...
:tanguyhuh:

Once he has been officially appointed I will give him my full support. I have my misgivings but hope to be proven complely wrong.
I’m not talking about their style. Just that I wasnt excited about him (but at least he and PL experience) and I’m even less excited by postecoglou. At least with Poch we’d seen what he could do at the top level as well.
I obviously hope he smashes it and wins me round of course.
Counterpoint: Højbjerg gets a lot of plaudits for the dynamism of Bentancur IMO.
Nobody knows how it will pan out if we get this guy but a solid start will be absolutely central to any likelihood of success I feel.
The relatively good thing should be a certain lack of expectation, if not hope, especially if Kane leaves.
I guess my biggest fear is the impact on the players if we struggle early doors against the smaller teams and have no get out of jail card to rely on, recognising that sheer talent tends to trump all the effort in the world.

this is my prediction , we get the Aussie , Kane leaves and goes to Madrid , we finish 8th but play decent football and win the FA cup in his first season, Kane on the other hand watches Barca win the league and Bayern win the CL, maybe Kane was the curse after all! 
Would be a decent counter, IF he hadn't been injured since Feb.
If he didn't play with Skipp, you wouldn't hate watching him playing football.
Nope.
I prefer watching Skipp
I honestly get all the doubts, I have my doubts too. But the attitude of some on here is like a five year old whos ice cream has just fallen out the cone and onto the floor.
The general consensus has been that Højbjerg's downturn in form has been b/c he's "just knackered", whilst some have noted Bentancur's absence.
He was lacking for Denmark this winter as well, what a wet-fart that WC campaign was.
As the player who scored the injury time goal to force extra time and then converted his pen in the shoot out to help Ross county win their play off I’d imagine George is quite a few Ross county fans favourite player at the minute - smashing lad really glad for himGeorge Harmon is my favourite Ross county player ( he played for holy name u7’s with my son then went to West Brom)
Counterpoint: Spurs fans in the past have been far too passive & accepting of whatever is thrown at them. New generations of fans may just be that bit more ambitious and willing to stomp their feet.
