Clinging to the fact that they've left it open for the next manager to change the decision. Ridiculous getting rid of a club legend who's the captain and a regular starter. I've no idea what our board are thinking. I think you're right that he'll head to the states if he does leave. However, he does like to gamble so a couple of years in China might help the finances.

Berahino would be a gamble for the right price, I think the reported price is a little high at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree on Berahino, at the right price it's worth the gamble, but £21m is way too much over that. Reports from a few places that we're getting Doumbia on loan from Roma. Much happier with that if it goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 75 this year. My money is on Mourinho or Simeone. Although not sure why Simeone would leave. Flying high in the Champions League and 2nd in La Liga.

Almost guaranteed to bring the club back up the table, after a first season clear out. And then just get rid of him before the 3rd season meltdown! Although if Inters current meltdown continues and they don't get Champions League Mancini will get sacked and Mourinho could end up there again.

thetime Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Stuff Jose or any other top manager. Give giggsy the job, who cares if we totally implode. Got to be more fun than lvg or Jose.

Celery Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 What is it with Pep always taking the easy option. Can't be called the greatest manager around until he actually takes on a challenge. Every team he's managed has comfortably had the strongest squad in the country. Should have gone to Utd to rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaosmark2 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 16th-19th in the table covering most of the big spending teams, very little business at the top end of the league. Clearly Chelsea are also worried about the drop as well Finding it harder to judge who'll go down now. A lot depends on how many of these new signings hit the ground running. Villa are completely gone but 2 from 5 with no team looking a cert either way. Personally I'm going to guess Swansea and Bournemouth but really not got much clue.

Agree about his all round play, his hold up work is fantastic and if the officials at some point decide to start awarding him free kicks when he is being fouled then that would be great. Doumbia has a great record, let's hope he is the man to see us safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doumbia has a great record, let's hope he is the man to see us safe. We have one of the lowest shots attempted and chances created in the league. He's not had good scoring chances consistently. I think Mitrovic pushing the boundaries of hold-up play into fouling in the first 5-8 games is counting against him to a degree. I feel he's definitely worth persisting with as a player, if he can add goals to his game and become a 1 in 3 striker he could be great for us for years. Doumbia is a really exciting signing, at least for anyone who's played lots of FIFA/Football Manager! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
