Strike

Managers need not be given power over transfers. We saw how it went with Conte. + Clearlake's transfers aren't looking so bad now are they? Palmer and Gusto are the clear standouts. But even among the rest - Cucurella, Caicedo, Noni, Jackson have shown that over a larger sample size, they are holding up, showing they belong at this level. Only clear misses are Mudryk,

The Bayern manager search is making it clear there aren't many options to replace Poch

Definitely Poch should not be given any more powers over transfer strategy. Let Joe Shields and the others run that department.

I don't agree he's the guy for the long term but I don't see options + one summer of continuity might really help Who's a real option?

What's the argument for removing him? And who's the replacement who's much better than him.

Has also helped that the midfield is more packed now with Cucu inverting + Gallagher. As opposed to Enzo

Weird situation. I think there's no reason to keep Poch in this sort of uncertainty.

Only a decision to be made if Poch walks imo. One summer without a managerial change please. Restarting the process means another few months of a manager figuring out what works, what doesn't

TalkSport. Will be BS

Fair enough but don’t see the need for any more dwelling.

You're right. Seemed like he kicked out as a momentary reaction. Doesn't seem to be a long-term attitude problem. Gusto can cover for another 4 games, no problem.

Just get the job done. Not worry about the Spurs result. Hopefully we do make it to Europa (with City beating United which is likelier)

Suspended for first 3 games next season. 4 game ban since its his second red of the season.

Yeah but plenty of options is all. I like what I'm hearing from the club. CB, LB, ST

There are better, younger, cheaper solutions for the left hand side than turning to Son I feel. Leao, Kvicha, Nico, Oyarzabal, Mitoma. In any case, it is not a priority area. First priority is LB, CB, ST. I'm happy to roll with Jackson, Nkunku, Mudryk for the left hand side (assuming Sterling sold and new striker signed).

We will need photos next month

Serious if true. Isn't this stripping the club off assets?

Madrid plans are usually clear in advance. Think Mbappe and Davies this summer.

Ship sailed long ago imo. Good defender but hasn't had a good couple of years now

The fee fixed for Maatsen was 30m pounds when he signed the loan. I think Dortmund will pay that. Don't know where Broja's valuation is right now after the season

I think there's space for a midfielder even if the club don't sell Connor. Enzo Caicedo Lavia Connor and new signing. Can be the 5 mids for 2/3 places in the team.

Yep. Watching him chest down that long ball and get past a couple of players yesterday 🤌 And the cross for the winner. I'm glad he's going to get a summer off where he can focus on recovery.

Who has the armband right now?
