With Potter bringing his backroom team with him which includes his recruitment specialist Kyle Macaulay you would have to think that there would be at least a reshuffle in our recruitment team.
Yes. David O'Leary took his first managerial role with Leeds in 98. At the end of his first season they finished 4th in the League and qualified for the Uefa Cup. Following season they got to the semi final in Europe and finished 3rd in the League qualifying for the Champions League and he took...
He also appointed Aidy Boothroyd as manager of the u21's who went on to win the Toulon tournament and has a 72.4% win record with them. Given we want to bring in Englands best young talent I'm a little perplexed that Boothy's not been linked at some point.
Working alongside Pep and having worked under Wenger you would hope that some of their managerial nous would have rubbed off on Arteta but he would be a huge gamble.
One of my other concerns with Arteta would be who we would get in to work alongside him - as he will need to have a number 2...
I think when you look at our current team there's a glaring omission. Just have to look at the impact that Ali J and Percy Tau had on our social media streams to recognise that we're missing an Asian player to help us push on and improve the clubs amount of instragam likes. Someone like Ritsu...
I've mentioned him a few times over the last three years. Finnbogason has a lot of the same qualities as Murray (he's a good finisher, though has a tendency to stray offside) and is used to playing in a team that don't create many chances. My only concerns are that he's now 30, and he's started...
He's reported to be on 170K a week currently at United, but no matter what happens he will have to take a large pay cut. United won't offer a squad player that sort of salary, and the average wage in La Liga is 36K Euro's. Valencia who he is being linked with have a cap of 75-80k a week. If...
Definitely. Many of us knew that this was going to be another hard season and reaching Wembley and the wins against Palace will live long in the memory. My only hope is that we learn from our failings in the latter part of the season; identify what wrong and address it over the summer.
Both have stood out every time I've seen Cardiff play this season, and would be worthy squad additions but if we want to move forward as a club the recruitment needs to instead be looking into recruiting 3 or 4 quality players that will improve our starting 11.
If wages were no object then from that list then I'll take Herrera, Mata, A. Pereira and Milner would all strengthen our squad but chances of any of them signing for us are minimal. If it was extended to players who had Premier League experience then I'd happily take Balotelli too
