I will say one thing that has been on my mind. If we are going to be bringing players back and forth from Strasbourg then it makes sense to get the manager from there come here as it will build continuity. For example with Liam the one who immediately gets to benefit is Santos. I'm still mad at the Maresca sacking, but if they keep this model of players coming and going from Stasbourg then it makes sence this appointment and any future appointment from Strausbourg.

I think he is the one that will benefit the most of Liam since he knows him well from his side in France. And this is what I wanted to see for a while, Caicedo and Santos in the mid.

New manager bounce. By March-April we shall see what is our true state.

Would it be 200 or that's too much? Maybe 150?

Yup as I been saying. First the problem of sacking a manager and getting a new one. The new one will want to try out everyone thus wasting time. And second Joe Shields seems like a one trick pony. Can't see past only city players. Just because it worked with Palmer does not mean it will work all the time. I'm sure that's why we got gitten as well since he is ex city.....

Is it me or he does not look happy? There was talk about not liking Maresca. Now he's gone and he still don't look happy? I guess it's not the coach he is not happy with but the board?

I told you, every time you get a new manager we get this. This is why I dislike constantly changing new managers. We already know who is crap and who is not, but they don't as they need assess....

Alonso is available, that is the manager they should be getting.

Yes he will do wonders in united. And united will work with him to build the team, with good defense as well.

I won't care from now on who they hire. After sacking Poch this was their guy because of the ex city connection, and gave him five years contract. They don't know what they are doing and still have not improved the defense. Won't bother anymore with who they get. Wake me up once these fools are gone.

We have Tosin don't worry about it.

As I been saying I think Joe Shields is only good buying ex city players and that is worrying trend for me. He might not be good to look at elsewhere if this continues. Just because of Cole Palmer Joe Shields got tremedous power and ever since it's been all ex City players. Worrying.

Ah duh you fools have not bought good defense!

These are the type of games where we need to just win 1 to 0. Defense never helps.

Looks like we got a new shirt sponsor?

He was having issue already before coming as a party person and what was hindering his performance. So yes a flop.

I been a big fan of Joe Shields but it seems like all he does is goes after ex city players. I wonder if he is really any good at spotting anything else? Because that is worrying, sure the academy of City has been good but that is not the only place players come from....

I think he might need a season or two. Cucu was that horrible as well. And the difference is that Gittens is 21. He is not ready for us and thus might need a loan. I think the problem was the amount of money we paid. Because of the money we paid the expectations was high, and that is the problem of the club. But he needs time. The case I'm making is that Semenyo at 21 no one would have considered. It took him a couple of seasons. I'm not sure we can have that luxury but he merits some time. I'm not ready to put him as a total waste. With him I will wait for another season or at the most two, probably a loan will be good for him.

Gittens is what Semenyo was at his age. I'm sure at 21 you wouldn't have care about him. Just needs time. Have you not learned that by now?

He has been the most consisten player we have. But I noticed a lot of Portuguese players are over there so he might want to go. Such a shame but it is what it is. I guess that's why we got interested in Semenyo all of a sudden?

Bastoni or Murillo for me. Another midfiled, as Lavia ain't ever fit, not sure about Essugo and Santos I rather trade up. We have giving him changes but I'm not sure he is the player we need in the mid to dominate. Winger, nah I pass at this time. I don't want to waste money on that at the expense of the others.

This is where our defending is important because we tend to start slow. The defense has to give the offense an opportunity to win the game. This is why I knew this season we would be up and down. It's the people that are expecting perfection that are disappointed. I think this is what happens when you don't focus on that aspect of the game. We should wait until next season to decide and even if the board decides to address this issue. Or just do the dumb stuff of firing the manager and think someone else can do amazing things without solving that issue...

Why is that? What I see is we tend to start slow and do better in second half. Hence defense supposed to be better to keep us alive into the second half. Let's see with all this talk with Mareca they back him and get better defense.

Violence in Ecuador is out of hand. I think the president wants to do something similar as Bukele from El Salvador but I'm not sure if it can be done.

But Garnacho everyone was hating and he is doing good. Admittely I prefer Wharton or Elliot over him. But it is what it is.
