Chris_R Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Only problem with Conte is that he doesn't play with wingers. Can we see ASM as a wingback? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not paid attention to his work within UEFA, but sad to hear it's not ideas that are well received. I think he’s behind the World Cup every two years plan and has mooted stuff like kick ins rather than throw ins. He was always an innovator but he needs to be stopped.

I reckon Conte would do a better job with the current squad but I just can't see it happening this has all been too fast for me If Conte has, as reported, been approached I'd like to think he can be convinced. First choice to show we're serious. And who could refuse Mandy? I know it's early days and there is nothing to support my illusion, but she makes me believe she has a similar charisma to Keegan.

He'd play in the attacking 3. Hazard never played at wing back for Chelsea, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It's going to take a while for it to sink in that, in theory at least, we can now afford anything and anyone in a footballing sense. Whether we can immediately attract the very best yet in the managerial and playing sense, remains to be seen. We're not about to just come along and poach Pep or sign Salah. But I think we've seen the last of the days when we'd be rumored to have agreed a fee for a player but everyone is saying "Aye, but we'll not pay the wages man, at least we tried", or "He's playing great, will be an honour to see him in a Liverpool shirt". We no longer need to do that. I personally think this is the new owners opportunity to make a real statement, they'll talk in humble terms but in reality, they're going to want to make a big move and ensure we don't struggle. Time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Paulo Fonseca was the name I was trying to remember yesterday. Apparently he was on the list to become manager had the takeover gone through previously, and was later linked with Tottenham though that didn't go through in the end either.

nufcjb Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Has to be a big name. Conte stands out. You do not want to start off with an average manager and struggle before appointing the big name you should have gotten the first time round. Big name players can come gradually but fuck it if I see Chris Wilder being linked again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
