Vive_La_Villa Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I personally think recruitment teams in football should be finding players that meets the managers need but ultimately it should be the manager that agrees to the player. He is the one that has to work with them and if they don’t perform he loses his job. If I was a manager I’d want a very big say in who’s bought in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s decent but as you say would probably want first team football considering we have no Europe. Not worth spending big on a position we’re ok in imo.

HolteExile Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) If Leedzzz do drop, Robin Koch (fnarr fnarr) could be an option. German international, can play CB or midfield. He's had injury problems there but still only 25. They signed him for £12 million after coming up, so I don't expect he'd cost the earth either.

Oh, and we need two midfielders above all else. If we don’t buy two central midfielders this Summer, you can kiss goodbye to a top 8 finish next season. I agree CM is the priority but not sure it’s that clean cut. We are only six points off 8th - winning two games vs Watford would have done it. So I don’t think it’s about glaring gaps but improvement wherever we can improve. Defensive mid is where I would start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good defender but awful going forward so even as first choice not sure he’d suit Gerrard’s system of width coming from the full backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 ITK season has begun. Secretly love all the real/fake ITK drama Interestingly, Kamara has gone public and said he has agreed on where he is going next... 2+2= b*ll*cks but sure its all part of the summer window craic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I think we’ve signed Kamara, first player to be announced. It’s just too random for a manager to fly out all the way to Marseille during the season just to look at a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So managers shouldn't be allowed sing players to take the club forward? Klopp signed his entire team to get them to win things. Guardiola has done this twice. Smith over course of 2 seasons signed 15+ players. But no, Gerrard wants some new players and no he needs to be a Director of Football. Seriously, what utter utter nonsense. Complete utter nonsense Gerrard signed 38 players at Rangers in 3 seasons. Klopp signed 43 players in 6 seasons and Guardiola has signed 35 in a similar time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep took over a title winning team and Klopp took over a team that was a slip away from winning title a year before. Gerrard took over a rangers teams that hadn’t won a title in a very long time and now a midtable villa team. I know you wernt actually making any points with your post but I think the above should be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't sign him as cover tell him you envision him being number one. Start him at the beginning of the season and if he isn't an improvement you go back to cash and let them fight it out. Lie.

I think that's just called scouting just because they did that doesn't mean he is signing for us. We have probably made an offer but we are one of many.

Also, 80% of the reason half the Leeds squad are injury prone is because that bucket sitting binman completely ruined them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
