Goals 0 Assists 2 Would fit in well with our midfield but not a goalscorer or creater that we need

Confirmed now

Just buy him without letting Ryan go. They seem to be operating similar to Chelsea by adding buy backs in. Just give them first refusal on him in the future, that'll do. Let Jay Rod go and play him with Gabi just off him.

It would be great to have just 1 season (well more actually) where we kick on with the squad rather than lose 3/4 main players and have to replace them first. Keep the "top players" and let Jay Rod etc.. leave to allow us to improve the squad. With a new CB our defence is well set, another defensive centre mid to play along side Romeu and a real creative midfielder and we should be set. 2 or 3 first teamers in and Jay Rod, Claise etc.. to go to (part) fund these roles.

Ceballos from Betis along side Romeu for example... €15m release fee apparently

Hopefully MoPe can use his contacts to get some Spanish youngsters. Some serious talent in their U21 team. Must be others in La Ligue we can get too

Maybe you can share all the managers that applied for the job then so we can see how impressive the list was?

Anyone know if he has his own management team or does he change it with each job?

VVD featured afteral. Nobody else about so Berty had to model both kits lol

Odd they aren't showing a picture of it before "pre-order" which is surely just ordering?!?

Nobody said the announcement was coming tonight. Shows the club can do business in quiet... things are leaked when they want things to be in the public domain

Let's see if the rumour that VVD modelling the kit was true then

But Jeremy Wilson did an article in which he linked TT to the role....

Nothing wrong with signing some good youngsters to delvelop more ourselves. If we don't have the quality in the development squads I think it's good to bring people in instead.

Stick a sell on clause in there too and probably about right.

With both being German hopefully they will have some good knowledge of their players, and there is plenty of talent in Germany so could think of worse nations to tap into!

Wasn't Dembele brought for like €15-20M. Kinda easier to develop youngster when you spend big to bring good ones in to start with.

Buy VVD replacement, iheanacho and Sigi.

Viera is in the Man City set up which is why he is currently coaching their US team. Would be surprised if he left for them.

Probably is the case, looking at getting his replacement in first before commiting. Would we be better off sacking him but only getting our 3rd or 4th target? Maybe not, but 1st or 2nd then probably worth the change.

It's easy to say I know who our prime target is but I'm not going to tell you or tell you any information about it. It's very much a look at me comment. Share information or it's just an attention message imo

Roma is probably the best job available at the moment as they have CL to offer.

It's because people assume that the meeting would happen 9am on Monday and therefore should have been announced by. The afternoon.

Someone posted it all on twitter last night, surprised it took someone so long to copy it over.
