NurembergVillan Posted June 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Rene Meulensteen is believed to be a phenomenal coach. Hasn't done much as a amateur though. Edited June 2, 2014 by NurembergVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 So despite Lambert automatically going for MON's assistant, we still aren't allowed to draw comparisons between them right? What do you mean, "automatically"? The comparisons still aren't very good. The two are different in quite a lot of ways. It's funny how you always say this but always fail to respond when asked to outline these differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I doubt Lambert would have looked to bring in a potential threat to his job if it was his decision to make so that might have reduced the list of candidates as would have our current limbo status. But if Keane is willing to come in as a number 2 then it is worth a look for me. He knows the game, he is a winner, his name may tempt players to join us and he might well offer something next season that Lambo needs as do the players we will have available to us. I had previously been thinking whether the likes of Lampard, Paul Scholes, Ferdinand, Brian McDermott, Ray Wilkins, Phil Neville, Mike Phelan, Steve Round, David Platt or Dean Saunders for example might have been tempted to come in as our number 2. I had thought having turned down Celtic Keane would not want to move to us but we do possibly tick some boxes for him and we could do a lot worse as some of the names I have mentioned suggest.

It's funny how you always say this but always fail to respond when asked to outline these differences. Clearly you haven't been reading my posts properly because I've done this a number of times in the past. - Lambert is the exact opposite of O'Neill in transfer policy. He goes abroad and to the lower leagues whereas O'Neill bought almost exclusively from the Premier League - Lambert rotates and tinkers quite a lot, O'Neill did not - Lambert at times has shown himself to be quite tactically astute (although he can also be tactically dreadful) - O'Neill bought experience, Lambert goes for youth - Lambert makes more substitions Other than the fact that they wear glasses, have a close personal relationship and both have links to Celtic I can't see that many similarities. It's a lazy comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Cropley Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Why is everyone so shocked about Senderos. Our owner wants to sell us and there is not a buyer in sight. We will lucky to even sign an International with about 10 years of Premier League experience even if he is as crap as Senderos. Did you really expect Lescott? That's a bit like going into a shop to buy a kebab, realising you only have enough money for chips....then saying 'sod it, I'll have a lump of dogshit instead'..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably in the minority but I still think he is much better than Clark and Baker. You don't make 84 appearances for Arsenal, be loaned by AC Milan and have 52 international caps if you are dog shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm worried about the language barrier. Mumbling Lambert, pissed off aggressive slating Keane, and Gabby. Christ we'll need Pocchetino's interpretor on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 No one really commenting on the connection between MON and Lerner. Does anyone seriously think that after what happened between O'Neill and Lerner that O'Neill would recommend the job to Keane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clue is why he didn't stay at Arsenal at a time when they were recognised as lacking decent centre halves. He was poor then and I seriously doubt he's improved since then I'm not saying he isn't poor. I'm just saying he is better than Clark and Baker and as good as we will get while Lerner is still in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Keane used to turn on united players if they didn't perform to the level he expected. I'm sure he'll stay calm when he sees sylla or tonev kick a ball. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
