Frank is like the perfect manager to buy for. Even if a player is square peg round holes he will tweak his system to resolve that. As such the player list we can buy for Frank in theory is massive. Club has no excuses not to get in some quality. The excuse he doesn’t fit Ange’s or Conte’s system isn’t going to work with Frank.

Paqueta for example is more like MGW, he is an 8/10 not an out and out AM. Frank could easily make that work with a 3 in midfield.
 
Paqueta no thanks. Rated him two seasons ago but just feel he wouldn’t be right for us now.

His head’s probably been fried with the betting allegations in fairness to him. City bid £80m for him a couple years ago, he must have something about him, City don’t usually spend that much on mugs.

Boy probably needs a change of scenery after a tough couple of years to light the fire under his arse again. The spammers must be one of the most demoralising clubs to play for as well, they’re just perpetually going nowhere.

Wouldn’t have been my first choice for the number 10 position, but options 1,2 and 3 are all gone now.

if we can chop him for bissouma and a bit of cash then its a no brainer.
 
Yes, how dare someone, online, in 2025 try to have a reasonable attitude and not succumb to the obvious and intentional tactics employed by the mega news corps to make and keep us angry.
Aren't you even a bit concerned about the shape of our squad right now ?

Maddison has been ruled out since about 3 weeks ago and we are seemingly no closer to replacing him

I get that you are frustrated by all the online bullshit but put that to one side , you can't be happy with how we've managed this window surely ?

Palhinha: went to Bayern for Tuchel and got Kompany who had no need for him

Kudus: played out of position, terrible last season

Paqueta: spot betting where he could have lost his career and playing with a joke of a West Ham midfield.

These are all excellent players in a bad situation. It’s probably the easiest deals for us. The risk is obviously they don’t play like their old self.
