Hummel’s character and history of trying to undermine his manager/coach. Dunk, Milner and Welbeck have never done that.
If Hummels character is as you suggest, maybe we should avoid period. Not sure age is relevant. Perhaps you should let PB know Hummels has such a bad character, perhaps they aren't aware.

I remember there being a discussion on the Guardian FW Podcast when they were previewing the EUROs, talking about the omission of Hummels from the German squad (and the reasons why). I obviously had no idea at the time that we would be linked with him, but there is certainly SOMETHING in his character that could be problematic. This is from a GOAL article about him:-

Yeah I’ll let PB know about every opinion I express on NSC, that sounds like a rational and normal thing to do 🤦‍♂️

I have no issue with FH’s age - I’m delighted with the appointment and really excited for the new season but it’s a fact he’s never had to manage big name players and personalities like Hummel’s, I think it’s ok to be a little concerned about how that might play out.

Waiting for this to resolve is like watching paint dry.

Matt paint.

Your 2nd para - fair enough. I think if FH would have a problem managing Hummels, we have a bigger problem as he may struggle with other squad members.

I feel we should back him in this respect- if he feels Hummels would be a good addition, that's enough for me. Hopefully coming from German football, he has a decent flavour for his reputation and what he brings to the table.
