Stottie Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 3 out?? Three Loans: Sels, Armstrong, Toney. Eight Gone: Anita, Guoffran, Mbabu, Ameobi, Murphy D., de Jong, Rivière, and Hanley (ish). Rafa's only been here for a year and a half, so the transformation of the squad, esp. in terms of deadwood out, has been very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Any #10's in Holland we can dream about for an hour or two? He will be flying into Schiphol, then no doubt flying on somewhere else from there. Don't think it will be a Dutch player he is going to talk too.

Zero Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 He is Ajax no. 10, their main driver for the Euro Cup run, the core #10 and speciaist at free kick. It really makes a lot of sense going for him, except that he is from the physically weakest league in the world... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez is hoping United do some late business in the transfer window but that hasn’t stopped him accepting an invitation to attend the 19th edition of the “elite” forum – which is chaired by Sir Alex Ferguson. It is a mark of Benitez’s standing in the game that he is one of the coaches invited, with Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, Barcelona chief Ernesto Valverde and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinhoalso invited to the forum. UEFA say the meeting “provides an opportunity for top European club coaches to exchange views on the major issues affecting European club competitions, as well as to discuss and make proposals to UEFA that may be of overall benefit to the European game.” Benitez is a keen student of the game and is heavily involved in mentoring other coaches. With his CV, experience and honours list it’s little surprise that he’s been invited and he is rubbing shoulders with some of the game’s great and good in Nyon this afternoon. READ MORENewcastle United holding out for more than £15million for Dwight Gayle as Fulham slap in late bid Here are the other attendees: – Massimiliano Allegri (Juventus FC) – Eduardo Berizzo (Sevilla FC) – Sergio Conceição (FC Porto) – Unai Emery (Paris Saint-Germain) – Bruno Génésio (Olympique Lyonnais) – Leonardo Jardim (AS Monaco FC) – José Mourinho (Manchester United FC) – Maurizio Sarri (SSC Napoli) – Ernesto Valverde (FC Barcelona) – Rui Vitoria (SL Benfica) – Zinédine Zidane (Real Madrid CF). It is part of a day of UEFA summits. The European football body reports there will also be a round-table disucssion with former players involving UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. “Players in attendance include Xabi Alonso, Deco, Leonardo, Peter Schmeichel, Clarence Seedorf, Dejan Stanković, David Trezeguet and Javier Zanetti,” they confirm. Even though Benitez will be in Switzerland, he’s still pushing for more additions at Newcastle head into a hectic final 48 hours of the transfer window.
