Your words not mine! You’re just parroting things you know nothing about.

Guy hasn’t even taken over and fans are demanding who he gets to coach the team. Half the fans have no feckin idea who coaches who. We have some excellent coaches, we’ve gotten rid of numerous coaches this season. ETH will work with his team of qualified coaching staff and direct them to what he wants, they don’t work independently, they follow instructions. Who they used to play for has zero to do with how good they are.

Yes I don’t want any of those ex United linked assistants over the assistant it has been reported for months he would want to bring. Pretty clear what I was saying

No idea what point you’re trying to get across as you stated ex United players, now it’s whatever that sentence is
 


Translation (for first 3 points):


The last point covers Karim Adeyemi's situation, which has already been covered.

Guaita when asked about returning to Spain:
I have one year left on my contract and an optional one at Palace. I’m very comfortable in the Premier League, it’s amazing how you live football here. I have less and less years left and I don’t know if I will have those years to be able to return to Spain. I would like to return to Valencia. I think I could have played for many years at Valencia. Being a Valencianista, leaving the quarry…how can I not want to return to Valencia?

Pereira on the potential permanent United exit:
I have a contract until June and I will always do my best for Flamengo. I’m focused and positive for whatever comes.. I just want to thank the fans, the teammates, and everything they are doing for me and have done. It was really difficult, very difficult after the final, but it’s something that inside me I’ve already overcome. I’ve already put it back and I’m looking forward more calmly. I’m sure I have enough quality to reverse this situation.

On the transfer fee reports:
I don’t pay much attention to these things, but everyone knows that I prioritised Flamengo. Everyone in the club knows this. It’s hard for me to talk about my own value, but a Manchester United player for 10 million euros (sic)…Should I be cheaper? I’m doing my best, but I can’t say if it’s too expensive or cheap.

I’m calm and focused. I know there’s this indecision. I also have to talk about it with the people close to me, and on the pitch I’m calm. I know it can be resolved in a month, at the end before I leave, but I’m calm and always thinking about the next game.

I expect Laimer to have a pretty strong market. He’s a good player.

I'm surprised that he hasn't been getting linked to the bigger clubs sooner, but I guess now makes sense given that more big teams are in need of solid midfielders.

Isn't he a bit mediocre on the ball? I see him more as a role player: fantastic if his team doesn't put too much creative burden on him, but could be a liability if not.
I'd also categorize both Austrians as box2box players rather than holding kids, with Witsel's departure Dortmund definitely need a proper defensive mid though and with Bellingham they already have a box2box starter. Makes me wonder how they are supposed to fit into the plans.
 




Borna Sosa's price is ~€25M, which is what's making him less desirable at the club.

He was playing as a defensive mid a few years back, but over time, I guess he became more useful as a box-to-box player even if he was very good as a midfield destroyer. On the ball, sure, he's not particularly creative, but he can dribble the ball fairly well, which is why he works well in that box-to-box role. His passing is still not too bad even if it's not particularly creative. He has put in some decent balls from the right half-spaces for Leipzig in the past.

On Schlager, I agree that he's a B2B player. However, his standout trait is his strong tackling and aggressive defending. That's probably why Dortmund are keen on him. Whether they'll convert him into a defensive mid, who knows, but he's a top-tier ball winner.

Mike Keegan isn't typically reliable, so I'm waiting for the others to corroborate the report. The only response to it was Romano retweeting one of his own Haaland Tweets from a few days back where he highlighted that the negotiations are still ongoing between City and the player.

Hasn't he become injury prone (he said, clutching at straws)?

He's missed 185 days of football so far in his career which is a somewhat concerning amount. I'm sure he'll more than make up for it when he does play.

I don't think he's been fully fit since January and he was injured twice before that as well. Rose said that he assumes Haaland has an injury from the last international break , but that he refuses to do scans and plays on painkillers. He wants to play every minute, but then he keeps picking up muscle injuries. Maybe Pep can convince him to be smarter with his body.
 


That would probably also mean Akanji's transfer to an English club is all but agreed, since they probably need the money they get for him to pay for Schlotterbeck.
 
Lewandowski is still a fantastic player but we really need to leave the era of signing geriatric superstars looking for a last big payday behind.

We need to build a team of young, hungry talents looking to make the next step up, that's what this football club used to be about.

Nico and Sule is going to be pretty good going into next season. An issue will be back-ups given that Sule doesn't have a great injury record and Akanji will likely be sold. Hummels won't accept a back-up role as well right?

Zagadou is only left, he himself is injured more often than not.
