Amorim's Rebuild

Desert Eagle said:
The fans were divided on Rangnick from the start and he was criticized for speaking so negatively about the players. Now years later Amorim is doing the same and fans are getting a reality check. The key difference though is Ralf was interim coach and never promised a role after his short tenure so the players felt they could sandbag and throw him under the bus whereas Amorim will outlast more than half this team and the ones that want to stay need to play like they deserve to be kept.

Looking at the squad we need a new keeper, wing backs, midfielder, ten and striker. Casemiro, Rashford, Eriksen and probably 5-6 other players will be shipped out over the next twelve months. The absolute key to all this will be our recruitment, we need a really high hit rate on transfers to get back to a decent level. Out of our next ten signings we need to hit on 6 or 7. Looking at the one window we had under INEOS we got Yoro, Zirkzee, Maz and De Ligt. That's pretty decent I think, we need more of the same over the next four windows including this one.

And Ugarte, appears to have been a very good window.

I like that you left out the part where I said he's "capable" of outclassing pep to suit your agenda. But since you asked - based on the fact he literally destroyed pep's city 4-1 in Europe a week before joining us with a team that's suited to his system shows that he can outclass him tactically with the right players (although not sure why you've honed in on pep specifically)

You don't destroy a team if you at the same time admit that you could have been 0-3 down after 30 min. Let's hope that you are correct, I don't know what to think about Amorim atm. He might be a good coach, but he might also be out of his depth. I see only chaos in our pressing game and no progress.

Don't really see the issue with it, to be honest. There will be others from the academy in due time. If it brings in 3-4 other players that fit the system better and make the team stronger, it is a small price to pay.

That's a big if when you look at our recruitment over the last decade.

Both Chelsea and City sell academy graduates for good money. We don't.

Sadly, I think we're about to sell one of the best we've seen for quite some time. Ineos are no better than the Glazers
 
Unbelievable really that we need another "rebuild". I still simply can't believe how bad we were on transfer market during our last two managers. I mean, we were not good under Lvg and Jose but under Ole and Erik it was absolute and complete disaster.
With being now biggest captain hindsight ever, in same year and with similiar money we could have do this;

AWB 》Cancelo/Porro/Trippier
Maguire 》Saliba/Militao
James 》Bowen/Martinelli
Donny 》Caicedo/Barella
Cristiano 》Cunha/Alvarez
Sancho 》Kvaradona/Olise
Antony 》Rafinha/Isak
Casemiro 》Onana/Lavia/Vitinha
Martinez 》Romero/Gvardiol
Malacia 》Estupinan/Mendes
Hojlund 》Cunha (second chance)/Thuram
Mount 》Rice/Mac Allister/Tonali/Palmer
Onana 》 Raya

What if.....?
