Good business

A South Korea team he led to the 2002 World Cup Semi-final. Which only lost 1-0 to Germany If that's not good coaching, I don't know what is..

:ballack:

Ah Begovic.. ..What could've been

Yeah of course. Which is why I doubt he ever a long-term answer. I honestly don't believe the selection of Ancelotti was made for a long term future. I think the board was blinded by the Champions League, which is why the prized him away from the San Siro. It's the only logical reason why he was scouted. I don't like talking about his history a lot - there have been numerous arguments on here about that - but it does give us a very clear insight into why he was selected to take over from Hiddink.

Clifford in any of them?

No Frank Lampard? Are you f*cking serious? Once again, England has under-rated the best performing midfielder in the last decade! Shameful.. Also questions Gary Neville's inclusion

Good to meet one of the old-timers! Respect

Curse your suspense

Don't agree with that at all. Carlo was a trophy-coach. So he was brought in so we could lift titles in the short run, that's why we only put him on a 3-year contract. His track record with youth players was shocking and so we cannot call him long-term.

Don't think Real.. Perhaps City or Us. There's not a lot of teams who need him. City have enough attacking options. I remember Tottenham was interested, but now that's they've failed to qualify for Europe he won't go there. If we did bid, I guess we'd be favourites?

Yeah but.. Anyone could make that up. It's an obvious thing to write. Star asks to leave = Big clubs "making bids"

Fair enough then. I'm glad you didn't mean it how I thought you did

Yeah agree to that. The club needs to wait on a new manager before making such decisions to be honest. If he decides we play the same style under Mourinho, Hiddink & Ancelotti then yes to Lukaku as they all used Drogba as the big, strong, centre forward target man. However a new manager could prefer an - on the ground game - when he'd prefer sleeky attackers who'll run at defenders and dribble around to score. I.e. Neymar & Aguero & co. If the club make transfers before a new manager is appointed, it'll say a lot about how things are run at the club

Where's the voting thread gone? :unsure:

106 pages? Holy cow Anyway, I think people are over the shock of it now. What's done is done, while we thank Carlo for what he did last season it is time to move on and back the next manager & hope he'll stay longer than Carlo, but more importantly, that he's adequate for the job KTF all

This. ^ The man is awful when it comes to money! As bad as Rafa in his last window with Liverpool..

If we should some real interest, we could easily sway him! I still think Charlie Adam would be a great signing for an ageing Lampard & Sinclair from Reading (<- though that's highly unlikely considering how we treated him)

Yeah! Agree with that.. It's just a shame all the English talent is over-priced like fuck!

I'd try and turn him into a left-winger to be honest. He's got the pass for it and if he works on it, he could get the passing ability.

Supid question, this doesn't matter at all..

Kakuta for the left wing anyone? :eyebrows:

Woah. Zolayes was right, very surprised!
