Does anyone think it's not a class appointment?

An Ice Cream

Didn't mean the PFM lords or anything like that Just people like Allegri or the Monaco coach is what i expected tbh, although i do agree it's nice to see a club go outside the norm i'm more speaking from a place of shock than anything else.

He might be class but I wouldn't assume because he's learning under Pep it will work out. I mean look at all the idiots who came from learning under Ferguson

I think there's nothing to suggest it either way tbh, I think that's probably the point though as I was expecting a more experienced manager be appointed.

I've been critical of Wenger for ages but what's the point if you are going to replace him with Arteta?

The issue with the sales stuff is it's reliant on other teams to actually achieve it. Plus as we all know we'll do fuck all before it happens.

Harsh on GM like.

I was under the impression that the popular opinion was that it's utter shite Guess not.

He won't even go there because they won't be interested, they'll go younger and someone who plays more open although I need to be careful how I thrase that because Rafa isn't defensive imo. Which is what I suspected the minute Wenger leaving happened anyway.

Everyone on the team is tbh.

Apparently Barca are going to listen to offers for Dembele Since Cruyff and Guardiola left, they've become such a horribly run football club who have all the cracks caused by their stupid decisions papered over by the GOAT.

It makes a difference in that people just want something to get behind and maybe see some momentum build. I can't see anyone thinking it'll take us much further or anything. In terms of that I agree, didn't think of that really as I'm so disillusioned with England tbh. This is why I wanted Shelvey and Lascelles to go They've unquestionably earned the right imo so it's massively annoying that we cannot see then in an England shirt. Beyond that the squad he has picked is just dull and tbh really fucking weird - the fact he somehow achieved that oxymoron is a testament to him I suppose. Aye agree, tbh I'm starting to think maybe you should call up kids like Sessegnon just because of the whole something to look forward to and hope for like KI mentions even if they are not ready.

I genuinely don't think it makes a difference really, there's just not a lot of talent in England right now. You could make an argument for certain people but it's not like they make a massive difference to the end result.

Imagine thinking Cahill, Maguire, Jones etc etc are this level which Lascelles doesn't belong with.

Which other ones would you take? Aye this is it, i can understand some CBs and CMs should have probably been given a chance but when it comes to forwards and wingers there are literally zero alternatives and it's arguably the only part of the team which looks decent anyway.

Aye.

Thomas i understand what you are saying but after Pardew i must say i slightly cringe whenever someone says be careful what you wish for tbh.

without looking surely that would be the case for most major nations with a strong national league (germany, spain, italy etc.)? I doubt there is another nation that will pick 17 of it's players exclusively from the top 6 of it's own domestic league and have aspirations of going far in the competition. We are shit from top to bottom and hope the big teams can prop us up as we have nothing to offer from decent foreign teams and don't trust players outside the top 10. Embarrassing really. Not really, La Liga players will be dominated by Barca, Madrid and Atletico and considering unlike them we don't have many overseas players performing it's not at all surprising. It's a very short sighted view point just said as an excuse to be angry at the big teams. It's not like the league is full of amazing players outside the top 6 and even if those players were picked we still wouldn't be going very far. I guarantee the Spain squad has more than 5 players from outside the top 6 teams. Yeah because they have players like Silva etc etc in other leagues which we don't, players picked from La Liga will be dominated by the teams i mentioned.

without looking surely that would be the case for most major nations with a strong national league (germany, spain, italy etc.)? Yep, it's a silly argument really. It's not that silly as players like Rose and Welbeck have barely featured for their big clubs and afaik Delph has only played at LB for Man City this season. Welbeck has played 40 games this season and was pretty much starting every game until Aubameyang came.
