Augsburg got creative when they announced their league fixtures for next season. 🤣

I don’t disagree with the consistency bit and I was not making an excuse for him at all. Although there aren’t many samples to go off, he was playing arguably his best football and had his most consistent period during that time under Sarri. Hence, I was trying to make the point that that could have been the point where he starts to perform better more regularly but of course, the injury happened, Sarri left and we’re at where we are now. At this point, it’s maybe best he leaves and goes find a club where he can thrive. On a side note, am starting to see a tad too many of ‘hope/maybe Tuchel can perform miracle with this player’ or something along those lines. Brings back bad memories of Conte and his second season.

Don't think anything will come off this...

There were some links around the time when Mourinho got sacked. And think he may also have been linked when Pochettino got the boot 18 months ago.

He has been linked with the Spurs job before, TBF.

TBF, am not sure Southampton really have that much spending power for the manager to bring good players in. Excluding loans, they have bought only 7 players in the last two seasons and one of them was a free transfer. Let's not forget that Southampton were also known for selling their best/better players a few years ago and once that set in, they never really got anywhere, certainly not after the Pochettino and Koeman regimes.

I don't know if the 9-0 losses against Leicester and United are counting against him but am surprised Spurs haven't tried to go for Hasenhuttl. Think he's a good manager. First of all, is Paratici even going to last at Spurs? He has barely been in the job and there already seems to be differing ideas between him and Levy. Is Nuno really known for developing players, especially younger ones? Would say someone like Hasenhuttl has a better track record with that.

No kidding. We sold Tomori to Milan for only around 28 million (yes, there was a buy-out fee that was agreed on but we could have easily put a higher fee but didn't) while Brighton are selling White for 50 million.

#NoToNuno is trending on Twitter. lol

Am guessing Haaland and his camp would be okay with staying at Dortmund for another season? Everything has been quiet from his side, especially Raiola. lol

Aaaaaand Favre has pulled out of the job... Spurs, Palace and Everton are really taking ages to find a new manager.

I don't think Dortmund are interested in getting a player from us. If they are gonna sell, they want pure hard cash of more than 150 million. Here's also another thing to note, given our large squad right now, we also need to make sure we sell some unwanted players first - e.g. Abraham - because otherwise, we're gonna end up with an even bigger squad if we can't sell after buying a new player. In Abraham's case, there doesn't seem to be any takers for him at the moment.

Except one...?

Think that's because we are the only ones who have been heavily linked with him. Otherwise, the bookies thing means zilch. What's the (latest) expectations from Germany on this?

It's Metro...

Do you think Dortmund care about that? Their stance has been that Haaland is not for sale this summer and if they stick with that, 80-100 million is not going to persuade them to sell when they will get a similar amount next year. Keeping him for another season would help them to qualify for the Champions League and the money they get from the qualification will help them make up the difference.

Arsenal have made some very questionable transfer decisions under Arteta. Given their current state now, think it's fair to say that they can't afford White to be a bust, especially for that kind of money.

Didn't you say you weren't gonna panic yet? Or is it panic mode already? 😛

Did he? When did he say that? It's LIVRAMENTO!
