The Next Manager?

[Gundalf 805]

So basically he says that he cant develop the players that are already here and demands a new squad with him in charge over transfers? 

If true he can fuck right off.

There's not even a source on this post, so it just sounds like complete guesswork.

Having said that, I think every man and his dog can see we need a striker (and a mobile one with which to lead a press against teams would be extremely ideal) and a defensive midfielder so if this is indeed true and he's identified those two areas as key to be sorted then that already fills me with confidence.

The wide one if true is a bit of a question mark, but Luis Enrique has regularly set up with a 4-3-3 so the wide positions are pretty important to the overall dynamic of the team and the attack. Although we're currently well stocked in that position, the likes of Pulisic and Ziyech are almost certainly going to leave in the summer, and Mount is looking likely too. I'd be surprised in all honesty if we made Felix's move permanent. Depending on what the plan would be for Nkunku, it leaves us realistically with Sterling as the only real genuine experienced wide player in the squad and although big money has been spent, Mudryk and Madueke are still young and need to develop.

He have spent over 600 millions since the summer so I doubt we can afford to go big in the transfer market again without breaking every financial regulation possible, even with a few sellings. Maye 2 players (including Nkunku) and thats about it. Time to work some magic for a "real" manager now to turn Mudyrk, Madueke, CHO and co into worldclass players.

I mentioned this on another post, but these accounts were signed off back in October so you'd like to think the ownership knew what they were doing in January with these figures in mind.

I agree with you, I think we'll see a couple of additions in the summer as opposed to another huge influx. Keeper, Defensive Midfielder and Striker are the key areas and I think if we can get two of these sorted out in the summer we'll be in a much stronger position, unless they already view Nkunku as the source of goals we're lacking?

But there will be a huge number of outgoings. The wage bill will be reduced drastically - a number of the players signed particularly in January are reportedly on lower base salaries and higher bonus structures and many of the players are now also reportedly on wage reductions if they don't play in the Champions League. Note that there are wages to turnover limits being introduced so the club has to get a handle on this and it does appear with recent moves that there is a plan to reaching this.

And obviously with outgoings there should also be monies coming in. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of players like Mount and Gallagher are moved on if it allows more flexibility with a summer spend but ultimately I can see 10-12 players being moved out, and depending on who that might be could easily fetch anywhere between £100-200m (Mount and Gallagher on there own could probably raise the low end of that estimate).

Luis Enrique is the best choice imo.

Pochetino. He works with youth. 

He would work with our team.

Mount - 50m

Gallagher - 40m

Maatsen - 35m 

CHO - 10-15m

Havertz - 35m

Ziyech - 20-30m

Pulisic - 20-30m

Ampadu - 10m

 

 

Best case scenario, maybe 250m for the lot? Reckon we will end up loaning the others.

He's not my first choice but I would blame the culture at Spurs more than him.

I'm slightly paranoid we're going to sell Colwill as he could probably command around £60m now he's 'proven' at this level.

He finished 2nd with PSG in the French farmers league. Not a lot of managers would be able to do that.

Carlo (who many want back) and Emery also did.

I mean if anything it'll be a testament on our new directors/advisors on how well they rate talent. Nobody in their right mind would get rid of a young CB who genuinely has the potential to be the next Rio Ferdinand.

Oh cmon thats unfair. The PSG of 2012 was not remotely as good as the one Poch had.
