Lange yet to show anything

Paratici a few wins but also got us Bryan Gil and Nuno etc

the shift in recruitment is seeing us compete with the big boys for these wonderkids, we seem to be shooting for the stars and not at the hip for once.

Bergval was well sought after, Simons was well sought after, Vuskovic seems to be jumping through the roof, Archie Grey we spent a fair bit on, its nice rather than shots from the hip. We had a few minor wins, Dele Alli, etc but nothing like the sort of recruitment shift we're experiencing at the moment

We arent pairing them well with quality to learn from imo

Need more in the 23-28 range to balance the squad out

Think we're in a real flux for the next little while unless we sign a manager that can improve players. No single player is playing their best football under Frank

I do agree with this, all good to be building youth and quality youth at that. We still need quality mature bodies around these kids, not quality players but quality profesionals. A big reason why Ben Davies has survived as long as he has.

I was going to give Frank some time but the football is genuinely dire and boring. No one wants to be apart of that.

He is a classic case of a manager who stands for nothing. Players look confused. All look short of confidence.

At least with Ange you knew the aim of the game. Same can be said for Conte, Poch, Redknapp, Mourinho, AVB

i think this is arguarbly the most potential we've had in a squad since the heydays of Poch with Kane, Sonny, Dele, Eriksen, Jan and Toby. Maybe potential more without the evidence

who would you put in control of this group? Poch?

Hoeness, Glasner, Xavi, Ange
 
With a much worse squad with far more injuries. This was a manager with no plan B who didn't defend at all as well apparently

Plus didn't make you want to put chopsticks into your eyes when watching them 'play'
 
Not the first 16 games, the last 16 maybe haha.
people forget that Ange was flying in that initial honeymoon faze. Finished 5th in his first season.


I will always be curious how Ange would have gone in season 3 with a full squad again fit and healthy

Should have been given the opportunity. Even if it ended up him being sacked in December.

Taking bets on how/who we spend a supposed 150m kitty on?
I'm more interested in who we can finally sell

1. Bissouma
2. Bentancur
3. Davies
4. Dragusin
5. Solanke

Must move these 5 on. And then consider moves for Vicario, Johnson and Udogie if they got reasonable offers

what do you get for them though? no where near what you would in the summer?

Bossouma £20m
Bentancaur likely staying
Davies on a free at end of his contract
Dragusin £15m
Solanke £35m

thats disappointing reading. Add in;

Johnson could net you £40m if Palace are as keen as you hear,
Vicario would be had for £25m,
Udogie £30m


who do you bring in though or have we got enough soldiers good enough already?

I think we simply need to back in some of this youth we have and not sit on our hands. Grey (Bentancaur), Bergval (Bissouma / Sarr), Scarlett / Devine (Solanke - obviously not full time but need more minutes than token ones at end of games), Vuscovic (Davies) etc.

I think we still need mature bodies, not those in the 22 - 25 age bracket but some genuine mature bodies. 28 - 31 year olds. The ones who will accept being overtaken by the youth. Why I think Paulina is a great signing. Would acknowledge that Grey and Bergval are coming for his spot, Solanke needs to accept that minutes will be given to Scarlett, Romero and VDV would have more minutes off with Luka in and around the squad. Jamie Donley is one I had forgotten about. Hes another who could be utilised more.


end rant as I could go on more
