Probably going to have to get your head around the fact that we’re not signing players with a view to them being here in ten years’ time.

 

I don’t see any reason why every single player we sign is going to be signed with a view to them being sold.

And then he appoints Howe as his assistant. I think that might be the soltion.

Not that it means that much, but transfermarkt has our squad value at 7th, despite having an ageing squad. The thing is our weakness, accoring to many atleast, was supposed to be squad depth. We have some very good key players that most other teams don't have. We're not in Europe, and we don't have that many injuries currently. So this is supposed to suit us perfectly, as we can field most of our key players each week without suffering too much from fatigue or having to use too many mediocre backups.

 

 

 

 

it has absolutely nothng to do with value and most ppl won’t want to hear this but Jamaal and Krafth are absolutley fine squad players and actually quite good when needed in their roles. They’ve actually kept their levels. But rightfully are not first choice. It’s what Longstaff essentially is, fine as a squad player but has to be displaced long term. Those three shouldn’t be first choice and they are massively underrated by our fanbase. Jamaal and Krafth especially. Burn in that category too.

Bringing in value was a pretty small point, but I think some of our fanbase tends to underrate our team of players a little. I think it's more than reasonable to expect atleast 7th without Europe. Finishing behind Villa with all their added games would be underperforming imo. I don't think that their squad is really that much better than ours, if it's even better in the first place.

 

Personally I think our depth is decent aswell, it just seemed worse than what it really is last season. Most of our backups are ageing at this point, though.

It’ll be a German manager if Eddie is replaced, imo.

 

Hoeness, most likely.

I'd fall asleep every game if Simeone ever came here not that it would happen
