after watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of juve fans opinion i think what we can expect from lemina is a player with a good burst of acceleration and and a good engine, doesnt seem to be good with decision making or a great passer of the ball, and basicly more suited as a box to box player. whilst he does seem to have some downsides i think he will give us some physicality and mobility what we severely lack in our midfield, and hes still pretty young and could turn into a great player in a team where he gets a lot of game time

But if he doesn't perform well then less big clubs will be interested in him so it's his own career he would mess up

If we don't backdown either though where does that leave vvd? He has no choice but to be a professional once the transfer window closes, if he doesn't play to the best of his ability that's not gonna do his career and hopes of a big move any favours. Under no circumstances should we open talks with Liverpool once they know we are over a barrel they will try to pay under the odds also, no way we should reward them for illegally turning our players head

We need to stay strong and not be walked over, he will soon knuckle down when we get past the transfer window. And we won't lose much value even if we were to keep him three years. As the transfer prices just keep getting bigger

It would be a bit like getting a 2 year phone contract for 40 pound a month, and after the first year is up go back in the shop and say if I can keep this phone for another year I'll give you 70 pound a month instead

Danny Wallace! Also enjoyed Moran Steve Williams and even though he seems mocked a bit these days fabrice Fernandes was great to watch

how about money and batshuayi? say 30 m. we would get an exciting striker and have money to sort the defense out

Apart from clasie those were mainly squad players.dont forget pelle and tadic

I'll be honest would have rather taken de boer, Big name, more respect from players and might have helped settle Virgil slightly, and also used to managing teams with high expectations. I also liked what we were doing in the Dutch market under RK so wouldn't have minded more of the same.

Yeah nagelsmann looks great. Took hoffenheim to 4th place in the bundesliga last season but apperently signed new contract so we would have to really go all out for him

De boer or more of a longshot with tuchel or nagelsmann only ones That are really exciting

home kit is stunning! just wish they they also replicated the rank xerox blue away shirt as well

the reverse ajax kit would tie in well with do doer

Im not sure why everyone is so against frank De Boer, when he joined inter it was 2 weeks before the season started so had little to no pre season to implicate his style upon the side before inter gave up on him in november. At ajax he won a record breaking 4 consecutive titles and was also used to working with youth and losing key players, Being a dutch legend could also have a sway effect on virgil maybe? if tuchel really is off the list its De boer or nagelsmann for me

Maybe we are trying to delay for the takeover to happen/not happen to resolve the managerial situation?

But we don't have to sell him to Liverpool why can't we show some backbone for a change. 70 m or refuse to talk if vvd wants to be a baby about it let him kick it with the youth for a couple of seasons. He's on a five year deal and we could still get a large some in a couple of years when he backs down.

Absolute joke if we sell him to Liverpool, and if we do I hope to god it's for 70m or something. Knowing us though we will bend over for low 50s or around. We are becoming so soft you don't see Spurs selling Kane alli and Toby at the first sniff of a bigger club coming along you don't see bigger club Liverpool walking all over them. We should not go below 70m here or make him stay!

Agree De boer would be my pick too, the Dutch style worked wonders for us last time, and I think one of the reasons koeman worked so well was he strong enough to have an impact on who was brought in as transfers, and hopefully de boer would bring more of the same

Another point, maybe gabbiadini would be more suited to the diamond as it would get someone closer to him to link up with, He seems to get very isolated in this system and bringing others into the game like pelle used to is not his strength.

Guess a lot of people will be happy with a point, but we are absolutely shocking going forward. Romeau was probably one of the only players who tried to get his foot on the ball and try to get any possession or an attacking move started. Everyone else just tried to hoof it upfield or hoof it to the flanks.. feel sorry for gabbiadini playing in this side.

id give frank de boer a chance, seemed the natural replacement for koeman if we wanted more of the same, respected name who was touted for much bigger things willing to give him a pass for the failing at inter

hope we can seal this. he looks to have a cracking left foot, can shoot from range something we really lack and also a good free kick taker.
