Emanolo how woeful he did. 

Just like the previous one we had with Arnesen that went to Hamburg and did bad as well. 

Shows why we was doing bad.

The high-flier Aston Villa have snapped up from Chelsea

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/high-flier-aston-villa-snapped-15746340

Aston Villa have made a savvy off-field appointment by hiring Nicola Ibbetson as their new chief commercial officer.

The highly-regarded, Ibbetson, worked with CEO Christian Purslow at Chelsea and leaves Stamford Bridge after three years.

She replaces Luke Organ, who was axed last month as part of a major shake-up aimed at boosting revenue streams.

A chartered accountant, Ibbetson also spent three years at Manchester United, where she worked on the world-record £750million kit sponsorship deal with Adidas.

[Warning_Hazard 156]

Jan 31st and we have not done enough business at all.

3/4 out 1 yes 1 in?

we needed 3/4 in

cant blame sarri, The board and maria have failed

knew higuain would be useless

we need names my arse

[Fernando 6,453]

Well we had the same problem when Conte was here. And he got sack because of this. 

We just have a a club that is being run to the ground because they have no vision and no plan. 

[blues.bridge 343]

Sarri is having several problems but:
1) is about 5-6 years we have up and down seasons, this should make us thinking: one coach fail is his mistake, but 3-4 one after other not! overall when this menagers are always considered great coaches!
2) Ok coaches, but we don't have a players at level of others 3-4 top PL club!
3) The problem about 5-6 years is the propriety and board, you can have good coach or good players, but untill under there isn't a good board, a good society with great plans, a great vision and a long term program is all just  destinated to fail!
So we can change coach, some player or other but untill won't be a mental change nothing will change!
And this won't happen untill the propriety and board won't change! So Roman needs to sell the club or we are destinated to be a club of 5-8 place in PL for next years!

not far wrong at all

Profit and sensible spending is the aim but seemingly at the expense of our first 11.

whats the point if we dont have top class players because any profit will drain away and our spending will rocket trying to buy to get back in the mix!

We have been crying out for players for 3 windows

i and many at the bridge held the belief they would bring in reinforcements yet they let go of morata, cesc and moses and as of 6.10pm got aging higuain in?!

Don't know where to put this, but thought this was interesting:

English youth products outstripping Bundesliga, says Dortmund’s Zorc

• ‘It seems they overtook us’ says Borussia Dortmund chief
• Jadon Sancho’s success broadening English players’ horizons

 

Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director, Michael Zorc, has admitted English clubs have overtaken their German counterparts in terms of the quality of young players being produced in the academy system.

The former Manchester City forward Jadon Sancho has enjoyed an outstanding breakthrough season in Germany to help Dortmund establish a seven-point lead at the top the Bundelisga, with the 18-year-old’s decision to seek first-team action overseas paying dividends for both parties. Arsenal’s Emile Smith-Rowe became the latest English teenager to sign for a German side when he joined RB Leipzig on loan last month and Zorc believes that Premier League academies are leading the way in terms of producing quality young players.

“Let’s go back say five or 10 years … there was a time that English clubs signed German players,” he said. “There was a lot of discussion here: ‘It’s all about money you know, it’s too early for them to go from Germany to England.’ But, in the meantime we have the feeling that, yes, the education and development of youth players in the English academies is quite good, to be honest. The teams don’t only spend much money on transfers or salaries but also on infrastructure. When you see these youth academies – for example Man City – you can’t compare it with the German standard. It’s much higher, much higher.”

 

Zorc added: “It seems to me that it’s something like a business model for them because even if they don’t succeed in their own teams they sell them for higher prices. I just read a figure of Man City – I think they’ve sold young players for more than 150 million within the last three or five years. You can recognise it also in results. You know the English teams are reaching under-17, under-19 [finals] compared to the German ones. It seems to me that they overtook us.”

Sancho will come face to face with another Arsenal loanee in the form of Hoffenheim’s Reiss Nelson on Saturday in the Bundesliga, before he returns to London to face Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday. Yet Sancho, who opted against signing a lucrative deal at City in 2017 to pursue his career abroad instead, has warned that it is no guarantee of prospering.

“I feel like young players are looking to go away now, because they are seeing my success, but it’s not easy,” he said. “People think that because I am doing so well, but everyone’s journey is different.”

Seems like other leagues are noticing, and it seems like it's time we also take it serious and start trusting in some of our younger players. Quality indeed has improve from the days of Bruma, Van Anholt, Manciene, etc etc. 

[Tautvix 1,321]

Let's see what board does now. Sarri absolutely embarrassed our football club. If he is not fired after today's game then the board has to be questioned too.. We still can get into top 4 but definitely not with Sarri. Give it to Zola until the end of the season.

[Milan 17,853]

The thing is Abramovic is not even allowed in the country proper circus.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Wtf has happened to us this season. Roman out the country.. No 4-0 losses in 20 years now we've done it twice! 

Gone from 4th to possibly 6th if they get another. Can't pass!
