I feel pain

4-1 to us Emery gets sacked after the game Adams scores 2 / Ings gets 2 Ps I haven't had a beer yet ;-)

Well now I'm an expert on Steve Walsh due to his 2 articles on The Athletic he sounds like the perfect style of DOF we need. Cheers for the update Manji

I'm sooooooooooooooo bored of nothing positive happening. We will probably beat Arsenal now though and Emery will be sacked ;-)

I'd be surprised he's only been at Red Bull since July. More likely someone of Mourinho, Allegri, Ragnawick etc or maybe a curve ball and go for Ten Haag at Ajax.

Lots of Steve Walsh articles in the Athletic at the moment and today's one states he does recruitment for clubs and is back in Leicester temporarily. Could mean nothing but I need straws to grasp.

Someone's listening to you. HITC - Football, Gaming, Movies, TV, Music: Dejan Kulusevski discusses potential Arsenal and Southampton move. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/11/15/dejan-kulusevski-discusses-potential-arsenal-and-southampton-mov/ 15m offer potentially for Jan for a 19yr old playmaker. We needed a playmaker central midfielder like forever so am discounting this as agent leak.

Managers can make a difference even with what can be thought of as mediocre PL squads, look at the current job Chris Wilder is doing at Sheff Utd. I think maybe Ralph's man management is his weakness, not getting that extra out of the players and getting them to not want to work hard and be flexible for him and the team is the biggest delta he could effect. Anyway like everyone else I pray something good happens in the next 2/3 months.

Every time Ziyech has a wonder game or goal I think back to Jan 2015 transfer thread and me and @Supersaint started doing the cheerleading for the assist and goal scoring legend from FC Twente. Sack the black box.

I always feel with JWP that his rating can be improved based solely on the the volume of free kicks or corners he takes that can lead to a goal, he gets the assist but I would argue the volume he gets he actually underperforms. In fluid play he is a very very very average player, he is a modern day version of david prutton

unless he was in the kiddies section

Finally Danso playing as the right side CB

yeah its summed up a lot of the convo on here over the last few weeks/days.

I reckon we will get a CB who is now at a lesser champions League club (Salzburg/Red Bull Leipzig squad CB) in europe but is a super experienced defender who is around 30-31 that we offer a significant wages increase for compared to what he gets now and a 2/3yr contract, so he sees it as a nice bumper retirement fund deal. This CB will then play and act as a mentor for both Benderak/Danso as to what a proper defender does. Edit - I for one will be keeping a eye on both Austrians and German press and also cross reference players whoever our new DOF is as I expect him to use his network to get in deals done in Jan, the player transfer expert will be focused on getting the **** out in June.

Good article from this year as he looked back on his time and transfers in Moscow. https://m.sportsdaily.ru/articles/erik-stoffelshaus-i-did-not-speak-badly-about-anyone-in-lokomotiv-someone-did-about-me

Kelvin or Dave Watson it is then

Won't happen given the level they are operating at in Europe but Overmars has done a great job replacing their key players at Ajax over the years. Also it's the classiker today Ajax v Feyenoord at 16.00 if anyone is interested

I'm in, what did you write [emoji38]

You were ahead of the curve my friend, you knew already who important this was going to be

I hope not. He's young, has played and scored in the bundesliga and has pace - he just hasnt played in CB until like the 2nd half last night and to be honest I can't remember him being at fault for any goals and he's had a sh*t intro the team as Ralph kept searching for a magic solution for our fullbacks. I'd say try and sell Veest back to germany, shift stephens to championship, bring in a fully operational CH, keep Danso and Benders and then have Yoshida to rotate in as needed.

I only have mates who support worse teams

Having lived in Singapore for 4yrs I can confirm the chinese call us gweilo's which roughly translates as White Devil or Foreign Devil. But for the majority of us on this thread can you please just go and get offended somewhere else and let the rest of us discuss current meltdown.
