I've no doubt Rafa would have moulded him into a top-class centre/left back; he's already so composed and clever with his positional play while being quite an athletic defender. Unfortunately the only place I can see him in our team is on the left of a back 3, where he's got Dummett, Lejeune, Fernandez and even Clark to contest with. Really don't see him being an effective attacking threat as a wing-back in our current system though.

I’ve never been one to be jealous of other teams but looking at the quality players that teams are bringing in. Teams we were miles ahead of 10 years ago. It’s just sickening

Wouldnt be upset with Tavernier for 8m. He would push yedlin more than manquillo.

Manquillo is probably better than Yedlin

 

In a Rafa world he is, in a Bruce world Manquilo is still trying to put a triangle shape into a circle hole.

Was always going to happen when you appoint idiots like Bruce - “clean fucking slate brigade” - there’s a simple reason why Rafa shipped him off

Another two Bruce can chalk off his list of targets that are definitely his because he’s definitely totally in charge of transfers.

 

He’s never said that, has he?

Said he has last say on transfers. As long as it's not "no" of course.

:lol: He's certainly the gaffer when it comes to transfers. Make no mistake. He's stamped his very own mark on this summer it can't be denied.

Even if he'd somehow impress in preseason, he's proven over years how utterly shite he is in the Prem. Add to that a huge wage and an age of 30, and there's no other reason than Steve Bruce making him stay. Fuck them both.

He'll be a starter in the months before Bruce get's the bullet as SB will revert to type and the '11 Jack Colbacks attitude' when it's proven he can't manage talented players from overseas.

 

Shelvey, Colback, Dummett etc will be the cornerstone of his starting 11 at the end.

Bruce has already managed Colback on a loan spell. If he starts him after seeing him first hand, that will tell you all you need to know about Bruce's managerial nous.
