Often wondered if Emerson could play the RCB role. Really want Romero to play the CCB role.
Reports say he’s a great locker room presence. He must be one of the few.
Would be ok keeping him if the next manager believes RCB is an option.
Was where he played for Atlanta when he won defender of the year.Romero as CCB sounds so alien to me considering the player we see week in week out.
Yeah wasn’t sure about that either. Maybe even Biss sitting. Bentancur can pass like a quarter back though so could be good deeperWould have Skipp and Bentancur the other way round but I like it as long as we're pressing high and don't invite pressure half the game

Not sure how they worked it because he does like going forward.
Will say he’s pretty good at reading danger and making last ditch tackles/blocks. Maybe he’s less likely to make brutal tackles at CCB?
Remember all the 'Regime Enthusiasts ' when we appointed Conte reluctantly admitting this was Levy's last roll of the dice. His 'Last Chance Saloon 'If these rumours about Tuchel are true , it shows that Levy/ENIC haven't learnt a damn thing from the last 4 years
Are these really the kind of people you want running your football club
Bloody clueless and severely out of touch with the fanbase (the normal fans)

Whoever we appoint, they'll be glossing it up as an inspirational choice then, 18 months down the line, they'll be abusing the poor cunt and praising Levy for pulling the trigger again.
Pure comedy![]()
Or they read their notes badly and we get Harry Potter.
Why would we need a new CM? Bentancur, Skipp, Sarr and Bissouma should be more than enough as a start of his tenure in my opinion. A CAM is definetely more needed, and there are a lot of good options available this summer. Brandt I think is out of contract, Dybala can be gotten for 15M, Alex Scott would be incredible etc.The more I read up on Nagelsmann and his tactics and the way he likes to operate makes me believe he's near on the best fit for the personnel we currently have.
Porro, Udogie, Bissouma, Romero and Bentancur would all benefit from his 3142 formation. We'd need a new goalkeeper, two new centre backs and a central midfielder but we knew we were needing those things regardless of who takes over foe next season.
Even then, I think the likes of Emerson have a part to play in his 4231 when he decides that's needed.
It's Skipp. Bissouma is way more suited to the Goretzka role. Physical and very good technically. Skipp has a brilliant passing range, better than Bentancurs. Hojbjerg also has a good pass in him but he's extremely inconsistent. I think that he would be the first midfielder out of the door for both Poch or Nagelsmann.I think Skipp or Bissouma would probably be Nagelsmann's 6 no? Although he considers it his "quarterback" role and so this would suggest someone with a good passing range as well as technical quality. But we have to take into account his training. He would make both even better.
Regardless I'm excited for Bissouma to be unleashed from Conte's restrictive system. He will benefit I'm sure

Some pieces are there for a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1. The backline really needs a new good CB and a new GK though.
He didn't have much choice towards the end in all fairness. The only other option was a finished Wanyama. The most dissapointing thing about Poch isn't the fact that he played Winks and Sissoko in CM, it's the fact that he signed Ndombele and GLC to try and fix it.Poch who played absolute cart horses like Dier and Sissoko in midfield over and over again?
I don't trust Pochettino to know a proper midfielder if one bit him on his cock and said vamoos.
Didn’t poch move dembele back to CM? Fulham often played Dembele like an attacking midfielder. Probably why he was such a late bloomer.Poch who played absolute cart horses like Dier and Sissoko in midfield over and over again?

What weapons changed their vote to nagglesman since the media started spouting about him
Don’t remember either of those playing regularly when Wanyama and Dembele were availablePoch who played absolute cart horses like Dier and Sissoko in midfield over and over again?

Yeah his high press, all action from the front style is perfect for Son and Kane. Two hard working beasts. The stylish PEH is also perfect for his preferred 6, the Danish Goretska. Pirlo’esqNeed to add Nagelsmann to the list
Because that's where Levy is headed. All his eggs in that basket from now until it's done or he takes another job
Just get a move and appoint either JN or poch. I’d be happy with either both have a point to prove and in poch”a case unfinished biz.Nagelsmann is the one, give him a 5year deal.
Stick to the project. Very good coach and plays great football will also have a point to prove after Bayern sacking.
speaks perfect English too.
if we don't get him it will be the best opportunity missed by Enic ever IMO
