As much as I like this appointment, his lack of European experience could just make him a yes man for Levy - and Levy will just continue to dabble and involve himself in all football matters, and then blame Scott Munn for any shortcomings!
BUT I'm gonna think positively and even suggest this...
Exactly this! But the truth is we can't have our cake and eat it!
Someone like Slot really intrigues me and by all accounts he could be great - but we have to give him time!
It's one of our major downfalls, the speed at which we all turn on managers, coaching staff and players!
I still think this could be a Levy last minute deadline Day special deal!
I find the whole thing baffling, Conte seemingly loves the player, he's now completely burned his bridges at Roma and they need to move him on and make a buck - so why not take a punt!??
I think it's more a case of the fans overall frustration at the whole teams performance - and because wingbacks play such a massive part in a Conte system, Emerson finds himself with the ball a lot and that puts more emphasis on him.
I do agree though that the stick he gets, isn't right - but I...
Lloris has to be MOTM.
But this was very much a wake-up call and I really hope Conte makes some changes.
As much as I hate to say it, we needed a loss like this to get everyone to realise we're definitely not there yet.
We've actually flattered to deceive with our unbeaten run - apart from...
I agree with others on here, we'll almost certainly prioritise a quality CB signing now - whether that's Bastoni or someone else.
Personally, wish we'd got Bremer, he's already getting rave reviews at Juve.
Good point! Completely forgot it was just half a season.
Nevertheless, as some have already said most Spanish teams are struggling financially so I'm not surprised with the low offer - but at the same time I do think Levy wants to get players off the books, so we might see some movement
If I recall, Real Betis wanted around £60m for us to buy Lo Celso outright but instead we took him on loan with an obligation to buy.
The loan set us back about £14m and then we bought him for £27m (total £41m).
Villarreal then took him on loan from us last season and they've probably paid...
Absolutely this!
Struggling to understand the negativity from some people around this rumour.
Agree he'd be expensive but he has all the attributes we're looking for, plus (as others have mentioned) he's HG, which carries a lot of weight.
He might look slight but he's a tough player.
Exactly as @THOWIG said, he gets knocked about in every game and still gets up and drives at players, and technically he's really good, very skillful.
As you can tell I'm a big fan of his ?
A little part of me is keeping my fingers well and truly...
Not completely accurate I'm afraid.
A lot of the Atleti faithful absolutely love him - he has bags of energy, plays hard, is brilliant technically and creates a crap ton of chances. His biggest issue has been goal return - but then Simeone is also at fault for regularly playing defensive...
Same! Never seen him play and can only go by his highlights - but tell you what, his reading and positioning seems to be excellent.
Dare I say it....almost Ledley-esque?
Look, whether we get this guy or not, what I'm loving is that we're finally scouting players like this - having real 2nd...
