Gave us a good service for 3 seasons even when not playing he wasn't a dick and seems a popular dressing room figure.
Good for him early to know and will pick up a club. Also good from our management that sentiment doesnt exist
Have been a harsh crituc but fair play to him, massively improved us and crucially himself under Smith. Under Bruce his crossing was hit and hope at times, now he looks up
Defensively he would scare me next season but OK as backup
I agree but for 6 months-1 year they can be enough. We should try to make as little amount of signings as possible. Look at Fulham they signed about 14 players and were a mess. If we keep 3 or 4 of loan players and add maybe 5 players is enough
I guarantee we wont be signing any of the over the hill mercenaries like Fer. Purslow and Smith interview confirms it, we will have a policy for our signings and any older players we sign will be value for money and also benefit the team.
Its fine I have never seen him play either, Chelsea have a left back I never heard of either. Turns out he is Italian international who cost 25 million
The main issue I have about this is the clubs should also be ashamed of themselves. You cant make a song and dance about a venue location when you know the location a year in advance. Its not like UEFA told them 2 weeks ago it was in Baku. Apparently Chelsea and Arsenal refused also to subsidise for fans to travel, Chelsea certainly did
Arsenal should have boycotted the tournament last summer if they felt unsafe for a player not to travel knowing they were probably favourites for the tournament
One thing I like about his interview is that he understands football and even talks sense about the game which some executives arent. He might be a numbers guy but he seems to have common sense about on the field stuff so I think he wouldnt be into snap decisions like when people wanted sack Smith about January
whatever the outcome I think be end of Sarri in English football, probably never see him again unless gets some minnow to Champions League
