Managing a group of highly-talented kids is a lot different to managing a Premier League club, it's not exactly the best way of judging whether he'd make a good manager. He could be winning every game 5-0 and be an awful first team manager or he could be losing every game 5-0 and develop into a successful first team manager.

You answered your own question, first proper manager role in a poorly funded club which has fans with unrealistic expectations.

True. Don't get me wrong, Newcastle would be much better off appointing someone like Laudrup, but I think it's a little harsh to instantly dismiss his potential job there as one that would be a disaster.

He is very underrated in my opinion. He's always looked good whenever I've watched him

Yeah he's a great player with some ridiculous reputation as 'Mr. Consistent', as if he's some kind of average talent who just produces steady performances. He isn't, he's the kind of player who can put in an 8/10 performance one game and a 4/10 the next one. The only thing he does guarantee is an excellent work-ethic. I'd be amazed if he ended up at United though, and very annoyed. I don't think he'd go there to be honest. A big Leeds fan who'd be leaving a successful period at City where he has a great relationship with the fans? Stranger things have happened but I can't see it.

Okay Hector mate but you're not that good so I doubt they'll come back for you anyway.

He is decent and will only get better. They will eventually come for him.

Cesc said he would want to be killed if he signed for Chelsea didn't he? He also played for Barca when the Mourinho led Madrid was at constant war with his team. His decision was really incredible.

I'll say it now, he'll never be anything more than average. Already over rated.
 
Orc said:
Just have to keep telling myself that he'll have much better service here than he had with you guys. That's the only rational reason I can think of as to why we'd sign him.

Your "service" in the second part of the season was equally shite. So don't get your hopes too high re Falcao.
 
BobbyManc said:
Why? Hard to say how Vieira how will perform in his first proper managerial role. Wouldn't be surprised if he struggled, but equally don't see why you think it would be disastrous.

Except his past reputation as a great player has Vieira done anything to say be considered ahead of even a Warren Joyce for example ?
 
:lol:

You can feel it, the man who looked at every rumor with hope but has now given up.

Best bit is the "but I'm still here".
 
jem said:
I haven't seen enough of De Bruyne, but after one average (by his standards) season from Mata, you're ready to sell him for a player that couldn't break into the team in which Mata was the star player? I'm not saying that criticize De Bruyne; rather that we should show a bit more patience with Mata, given what he's accomplished in the past, both with Chelsea, and even with United.

It's not because of Mata, I like Mata and would gladly keep him, but sometimes you have to make hard choices, and since I think that De Bruyne is better particularly in term of athleticism, I would be tempted to replace mata with De Bruyne.

I understanf your point of view. I feel the same way about Herrera. There are much better players for his position out there.

I was so looking forward to this window but its all gone a bit shit with all our 'targets' turning us down. I hope we have some super secret ones that no one knows about.
At least we already have Depay which i'm more than happy about.

I don't think these things matter in football anymore.
 
On De Bruyne, he's a classic No.10 and in the current footballing world, none of the top top sides play with a No.10. If you have a player like De Bruyne everything would have to go through him for him to be effective. At top clubs, that is not exactly an option. This is the very reason why Jose sold De Bruyne as well as Mata. Its been working so well for KDB at Wolfsburg because everything goes through him. Won't be the case at top clubs.

This isn't a slight against the player's ability, its just that in the current era there's no place for a pure No.10.

The only difference being that we have too much depth in Mata's positions and not enough depth in Herrera's.
 

Juan Cuadrado could be offloaded by Chelsea.

Isn't there a rule stipulating players can't play for three clubs in the one calendar year?

He's been in terrific form, scoring something like 13 in 10 matches, I think his threads are only bumped when he plays shite. He's miles better than Rooney, Rvp atm.

That's because he plays shite any time he's in a big game. He can smash in as many as he likes in a crap league, he never seems to turn up when it matters in the CL.
