Rafalove

This is pretty cool too.

Buendia v all other players in Europe’s top five leagues Total dribbles: 92(5th) Assists: 7(17th) Key passes: 73(2nd)

Even still I’d be disappointed if we can’t get a better cb for 40 mil

Probably none. Hard to say as others have mentioned we play a system that suits them. Maybe Schar and Lejeune could get in as backups. That’s not the point though, we will be limited by ffp. If a time comes when cb is our weakest position, we can go out and get one.

We’ve got 4 quality CBs, five really when you include Clark How many do you actually want? There’s some strange revisionism on here regarding our defenders, we’ve got a real good bunch Completely forgetting aswell we have to abide by ffp and we’re going to need 10-12 players as it, add in the fact it’s generally considered a bad idea to bring In Toomany players at once

Be surprised if he can get any better tbh. He’s Been coached by the best coach in the world for the last few years.

We’re going to be limited with ffp too though. We’re pretty good in terms of cbs. We need so many players I really wouldn’t bother thinking about new cbs for a while. Yes we can do better, but they’re fine for now.

https://www.spreaker.com/user/12250300/ttw-may-8 Good listen. They talk about us after about 15 minutes. Saying it’s likely they will keep Bruce until the end of the season. Their idea is interview sporting directors and have them sell their vision interms of which manager they would bring in and which players, and decide from this process the best way to move forward. Mentions Luis Campos has previously said he would welcome a move to the premier league

Stones would be a massive waste of money.

Would you trust anyone else? I’d trust anyone from the list of names that have been mentioned and I am sure they would want a say in how they are going to work and grow the players. Not just Rafa that thinks that way I’m sure. Most clubs do the infrastructure thing themselves and leave the managers to do the tactics and coaching to the managers.

Because Rafa lives for this stuff. A chance to mould the club the way he sees fit. He’s a control freak. We also Know Rafa has a plan for the entire club and how a training ground would fit in to that.

That’s the reason I hope that doesn’t happen

would be nice to see them drop in to league two or even further. Wouldn’t want them to go completely bust though.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/angel-di-maria-wife-manchester-criticism-food-psg-a9501311.html%3famp Angel di Maria’s wife has called Manchester a “shithole”, describing people from the city as “weird” and the local food “disgusting”. Di Maria moved to Manchester United for a then record fee for a British club, but only spent one season in England before departing for Paris Saint-Germain. His short spell at the club is remembered for his largely inconsistent form and now his wife, Jorgelina Cardoso, has laid bare just how much the couple struggled after moving to Manchester from Madrid. I remember Angel coming up and saying, ‘An offer from Manchester United has come in. Maybe we will be a little more financially secure’. But we fought about it,” she told Los Angeles de la Manana. “I told him, not a chance, he could go on his own. ‘No, come on. Let’s go’, he replied. “There was a lot of money involved, and afterwards, the Spanish were calling us peseteros (people only interested in money). And they were right! If you are working for a company and the competition comes along and offers to pay you double, you take it!” But the couple did not settle, with Cardoso quickly deciding that England was “a shithole”. “I didn’t want to go to Manchester because at that moment in time, I was friends with Gianinna Maradona, who was married to [sergio] Aguero, and we flew from Madrid to his house in Manchester to pay him a visit for two or three days when Angel had a few days off at Real Madrid,” she said. It was horrible! All of it was horrible, we went to the house and we were like... ‘See you later guys, we’re out of here’. When we left, I said to him, ‘Go to any country – except England’. Anyway, one year later and there we were in England and it was horrible, a sh*thole.” Cardoso was also not a fan of the local women, particularly their dress sense. “You’re walking down the street and you don’t know if they’re going to kill you or what,” she added. “The food’s disgusting. All the girls are all dolled up to the nines, perfectly made-up and there’s me with my hair in a bun and with no make-up on.” The couple have since settled in Paris, with Di Maria proving a success at PSG, although Cardoso added in the interview that she hopes to soon return to her native Argentina. Damn :lol:

Kuno Becker has written a script for goal4. Hope it’s better than the last one. Literally the worst film I’ve seen.

Mick McCarthy too.

Haven’t Spanish cup games been played in Saudi Arabia?

Was his agent wasn’t it? Anyway he had very good info whoever it was.

Who knows? Think ASM has the talent to play for anyone if we get a top manager maybe he can bring that talent out of him.

We were actually really fun to watch under Hughton. Not particularly stylish but attacking, spirited and aggressive. Shame we couldn’t keep Ben Arfa fit the season we were in the prem. who knows where we could have finished.

That is nonsense. Chelsea have arguably the best academy in the country now, they’ve also built a brand so they can be pretty much self sufficient and don’t really need an owner to be injecting cash. No doubt Man City are here to stay but they will have some ups and downs too especially if Pep leaves.

Thought the same myself when I heard that interview. Think I’d go 1Rafa 2naagelsmann 3Allegri 4Poch be delighted with any like. Be mint if we could get Luis Campos involved too.

So How does everyone rate the managers we’ve had during the premier league era? I’ve gone for: 1 Keegan(1st spell) 2 Sir Bobby 3 Hughton 4 Rafa 5 Keegan(2nd spell) 6 Dalglish 7 Roeder 8 Gullit 9 Kinnear 10 Allardyce 11 Souness 12 Pardew 13 Souness 14 Carver 15 McClaren Haven’t put Shearer because you can’t really judge some from eight games. Also went for who I think was best for NUFC, not necessarily the best manager.

Sunderland are overshadowed by us though, and remember they weren't even considered a city until fairly recent times. Leeds I will give you though, I always feared that if the Saudis didn't buy us, they would turn to Leeds next. Massive club historically. Yes but we can overshadow them even more.
