"We are interested in signing Kim. Please let us know if he should become available"
The fact that we are getting the players Jose wants and so early in the window is fantastic. Really getting good feelings about this next season. Let’s go
Held to a a budget of course so who knows if that’s the true case
He looks very happy with the signings. He isn’t one to say something because the board wants him to do
We'll see.
Could end up being the world's best paid yes man in football. Cheaper than a rebuild.
People are 50/50 on PEH and similar with Hart. I think there is lot of work to be done, if those turn out to be the only signings then that isn't good enough. Need back up/competition for PEH as well. Unless we're happy to go with Winks. Don't assume that Aurier is going to leave either until Milan make a bid Levy is willing to accept.
Indeed....
He's not stupid... He didn't take the job on expecting the kind of budgets he had at Utd & RM.
I think he's happy enough to cut his cloth according to where he is.
I also think this could well be his last domestic role before gunning for silverware with Portugal so sees it as a chance to prove the doubters wrong about a few things.
Is that supposed to be a bad thing now?
Not selling our best players?
Rose, Dele, Toby and even Poch all thought they’d walk into big gigs whenever they wanted because Walker did.
Only Tripper made it.
I think José is actually happy to work under these constraints. For years people have slagged him as being a manager who needs to spend hundreds of millions to achieve success, after the way it ended at United he will want to show everyone that his coaching skills are still sharp enough to do the job without huge spending.
He is loving the Amazon doc as it gives him a chance to reboot his image and show his nature as a coach.

Let’s be positive for once mate
Eh I didn't say it was a bad thing I just said no big assets have left, Trippier wasn't a big asset when he left. Rose, Dele and Toby are still with us and Poch was sacked. No big jobs have come up apart from the juventus job and rumor is Juve didn't want to pay his wages.
And I think he has got the squad to win the Europa League or a domestic cup, but there is no reason to believe that he will win the league or the CL here. I would say that his appointment has been reasonably succesfull and worthwhile if he wins the EL or FA Cup - the last time we won some serious silverware was in 1991.
I think Jose can actually get us top 4 again. Overall that's still depressing considering where we were at and where we could have and should have been.
We're hoping he can fluke a cup and it will make up for the bus parking.
Better than nothing but not much to be positive about.
So far we've got 3 great additions to the squad in Hijbjerg, Doherty and Hart, with only KWP leaving so far.
Think we will need to see a couple of players leave, as much to create places for incoming transfers, as much as generating money.
The obvious options - Aurier, Foyth and Rose (but we'd only get a small fee say £5m-10m and as a Club Trained player does not create places for incoming transfers)
A few options that JM probably prefers to keep, but if needs be : Gedson (early termination of loan), ever injured Lamela or the industrious but arguably unproductive Sissoko. Probably need to replace at least the last 2 players, so only makes sense if we can upgrase at the same time.
Worth looking at contract termination dates (see below) as well - those with 2 or less years on their contract we probably want to ship out for money or persuade them to sign a new contract as under 2 years, transfer fees drop (as we saw with Eriksen). So expect news on goalkeepers signing new contracts before the TW ends !
2021 Rose CCV (and Gedson loan ends)
2022 Lloris Gazzaniga Aurier Foyth Lamela Hart Austin Whiteman
2023 Alderweireld Son Sissoko Clarke Parrott White Eyoma, Bowden
2024 Kane Dele, Winks, Sanchez Moura, Davies Skipp Dier, Doherty
2025 Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Bergwijn Tanganga, Højbjerg

When challenged few posters, if anyone, has come up with a realistic alternative to Hojbjerg - combination of money, previous PL experience (and many players from overseas leagues find PL a much bigger step up in terms of speeed and physicality than they expect - Ndombele may be an example) and indeed the bigger problem is/was the lack of top class 'real DM's' around or available etc.
Winks is fine - but is a no 8 not a no 6 where he's been played (and played too many matches if anything). And White will also make a few appearances, mainly in EL and League Cup I imagine, which will also provide a bit of cover.
Aurier either stays (as cover at RB/LB) so would have a use or, as Milan seeem to want him, a compromise will come about.
I know Trippier wasn’t a big asset.
I know the others are still here.
That’s my point.....no one other than Walker of our big assets bettered themselves. They were made to stay when they wanted out.
What’s your point?
If that was your point why didn't you just say that no big assets have left, in the first place instead of going this long way around?
