We need a DOF. One that'll have a system that can identify good targets and then convince the manager he is the right one. Murtough is definitely not that. Rangnick was supposed to help him do that.

Cuz ETH's obsession with Dejong is because he just doesn't have the time to look at other players, their attributes, characters and all. So he's been going for what he knows. And Murtough is not capable enough to convince him on another choice.

This is not the way it worked at Ajax.

Word. Why then was Rangnick sent packing?

This club would really make a lot of money running their own reality show.

Damn, just watched a video of Utd’s performance last season. Out players were shyte. Bruno, Sancho and Elanga missed lots of seaters with Ronaldo creating some of the chances. Our defenders scored plenty own goals, and I believe Lingard assisted a goal scored by Young Boys against us.

I hope we go get brain this season. Ronaldo is definitely leaving, question is can we rely on Rashford and Martial? No, especially since they’ve performed woefully in the last 2-3 years. We need to sign a striker!

Hoping for the best!

Greenwood really needs to be brought back to boost our attacking options.

Unsurprising. He underachieved at United.

How una take see Dunfries, we've registered a MASSIVE interest on him

.

Every squad member shouldn't be a Dutch player,
No need for Dumfries, we should rather go for 22year old English boy Maxi James Aarons from relegated Norwich City, supposely cheap &on a long term or take Matt Cash away from Aston Villa

He should take up a club in English championship or return to Norway &see how to manage an average club in their league just as the way he managed FC Molde, then sharpen his coaching skills.

Seems like FDJ will stay at Barca.. I think ETH alternative would be martine there, and maybe garner a back up.

It is not until dey comot chair for your yansh before you know you have overstayed your welcome.

It is half word that you tell Omoluabi. When it reaches inside him it becomes complete.

Wise people don’t require foolscap page of messages cos a word is often enough.

Ati bee bee lo. But I know your mind is made up so in the words of Big Perk “carry on”.

I agree doc, but who really made Rangnick leave? I believe it was Ten Hag and not necessarily the board...

Yes i think it was ten Hag but the board prepared the environment.

Giving him a vague consultant role instead of making him a definitive DoF. What is Fletcher doing in his position? How many Technical Directors have you seen arranging balls and cones during training? That is what Fletcher does.

They should have empowered Rangnick by making him DoF or at least Technical Director and making his boy Paul Mitchell (another highly respected guy) the Head of Recruitment. Or even made Paul Mitchell DoF/TD.

Instead they gave him a role without definition or real powers and all he could do was make suggestions. He resigned when it became obvious that ETH was going to reject all his suggestions or at least side line him.

If the club had other football minds like Rangnick and Mitchell in the set up they might have been able to mitigate the tunnel vision of ETH. And Mitchell especially would have made our transfer negotiations more fluid. Fletcher, Murtough et al have nothing to contribute and very little upstairs.

We have a very good coach in ETH. Let's see if the player recruitment will improve. For this season we still need a midfielder (hopefully FDJ) and a forward player (hopefully Antony). This is assuming Ronaldo stays. If he leaves we will need 2 forwards.

A good coach plus good player recruitment plus the talented youth midfielders being groomed should make us competitive. No chance of dethroning Man City while Pep is still there though. At least that's my opinion but i might be wrong.

We need a winger, striker, CM/CDM and a backup right back else we will not make too 4...That's £180m right there assuming we get a winger, striker and CM/CDM for £50m -£55m each and a RB for £15m - £30m...

EtH should give himself brain and start looking for other options else disaster looms...

How about RB? I am not sure Laird will be entrusted to deputize for Dalot...

We have been linked with Dumfries since last season ended. ETH for some reason has obviously not been too impressed with either Laird or Hannibal in training. It might be Dumfries or some other relatively cheap option but i am convinced that Laird will be an adequate deputy in this ETH system if given the opportunity. The guy just needs to maintain his fitness and work hard in training. He and Greenwood were notoriously poor trainers.

I really don't know why he deploys Hannibal as a striker...I'd love to see the trio of Garner, Iqbal and Hannibal deputize for Fred, McTom and Bruno in the course of the season...

I just hope VDB regains his confidence and form to give us added options in midfield...

Even Rangnick said he didn't know what Fletcher's role was at the club, i agree with your submission. In some of my many post on Rangnick, i stated that he is suppose to be our DoF and not interim Manager. I hope Ten Hag will continue to demand for high standard from the board, we need to get it right this time....

You might see that in the Europa League.

As for the 2nd point. You might be disappointed. VDB is not who many of you think he is. I had this argument with the Kagawa here back in the day, VDB vs FDJ. VDB's hiding tendencies were there even in his Ajax days just that people didn't pay attention.

I'm liking the Sergej Milinkovic-Savic rumours.
