No, thanks. Just your typical Didier Deschamps centre mid...all power, very little footy IQ.

A very promising young coach doesn't end up at Colorado Rapids.
And some still wonder how we are so shite.
Haha that’s what many of the match day fan have done to be fair!
My man.
I didn't even bother replying myself as that post was just so wtf.
The whole club also completely invested in Emery. They got his choice of DoF in Monchi, they gave him shares in the ownership. They invested in a Spanish club he’s involved in. The were all in on him. Working for now but may cause some problems down the line.
I'm not sure these stats are correct??
Remember seeing a report 6 months ago saying we only pay 3/4 guys over 100k a week and one of those was son who has left.
Villa also have 80% wage to profit margins or something like that and we have 45%. I get we generate more income than villa but I doubt its that much.
These figures are off memories of previous reports and articles I have read and might be slightly out as I really can't be arsed to find these reports or "fact check "as it really not that important to me
You want impact, the window we need is: Goalie. LB. CM x 2. LW. CF.
Just an example of what we could do, being the 9th richest club and all that.

Unai
Djed Kev Micky Dimarco
Locatelli Anderson
Kudus LWB Marmoush
Ramos

That squad climbs up the table and finishes top 4-5, I have zero doubt. A solid keeper who can play, a reliable if less shiny RCB, a hardworking LB with tekkers, the new Pirlo, the English Kimmich, the new Mo Salah, a CF who can bang them in.
Unai Simon is worth 25-30 mil...Inter or AC would pay that for Vicario.
Dimarco would cost 40 odd mil...you'd recoup at least half by selling Udogshit. Be nice to finally have an Italian LB who gives a shit, fights for the team, can cross, score. I'd also ask Inter on the off chance about a Romero for Bastoni swap...
Locatelli is a 40-50 mil buy. Anderson (or Wharton, Scott...) is in the 60-70 mil range minimum with the old English tax. A proper big club would pay that without blinking. Especially as you'd recoup at few bobs selling the racist and dare I say even Pape. Also, Bissouma's wages will be off the books soon and Palhinha's too, unless those cunts upstairs decide to sign him on a permanent.
Worth asking City about Marmoush on loan with option/obligation. Or we could stop pretending and finally act like a big club and sign Yildiz for 70 mil, knowing Juve might be keen to lower the price if we sent them Odobert and/or Tel the other way.
Tell PSG thanks for Muani, but could we swap for a CF who actually knows where the goal is. How we went for Kolo over Ramos is ridiculous. Surely with the WC around the corner Ramos wants to play week in week out, even for a lesser club than PSG where Enrique hates him.
LWB, yes, that's my curveball. What is it Fergie used to say...if you're good enough, you're old enough? Kid has insane potential and is proper COYS, I'd rather see him get a shot than friggin Xavi. Look at Wharton, Eze, Rogers, Foden...and Dele & Kane, obvs.
Well there was a notion that Brentford were where they were because of Frank, but now they're still more or less in the same sort of position in the league without him.
We're almost halfway through the season and our club is 14th in the league with 22 points, so below what the salary expenditure would suggest compared to other clubs with less resources who are having a better season.
So either the manager isn't competent at the required level, or the players are being overpaid. We're currently a lower midtable team with a top six player expenditure.
Sure we should be spending more on players as per the revenue, I'm not arguing against that. It is however possible to get a better manager like Villa have, improve recruitment and be where they are or even slightly above on our current player expenditure, which is more than Villa's.
IIRC they finished above us last two seasons. and are very likely to this season, so it didn't take their manager 3 seasons to outperform our club.

And to add, a manager many are craving for a return to the club, doesn't end as the USA men's National team coach.
I'm with you.
Love Poch but his career gone downhill after he left us. PSG was a mistake, but friggin Chelsea...that's unforgivable. And now the USMNT.
Will always respect what he achieved here, but going back would be yet another own goal by the cunts upstairs.
Rueben Neves would be a very shrewd signing - of course we won’t do it.
Parasite only deals in juve rejects...probably with the brown bag...
Only spurs would employ a guy who was banned..
Grimaldos contract ends 2027 not a bad option for lb dead ball specialist too and one of the best crossers
That MF of Anderson and Locatelli would do very nicely.
They can’t be the only CMs out there though.
Also wonder if Rodrygo is available again. If City are getting Semenyo then his dream destination is gone. If the Lewis family are serious, that’s the level they need to aim for.
I’d be asking RBL about David Raum as well
3 years in the desert; probably take a tonne of re-adjustment..... Plus whoever cashes in early to go out there has a dubious sense of commitment to the game.
Apparently Steven Bergwijn got dropped from the Dutch national team for going out there at his age, according to Koeman it shows he's lacking 'sporting ambition'.
