why? Because of a quiet January? Teams will be back spending again this summer.
Man United would like a player like Pervis and Mitoma and have the means to buy them.
Brighton's model depends on sales.
You can't convince young 18 year old South Americans to join if there's no path to play. Estupian (55M) and maybe Mitoma (65-70M) to leave. RDZ to leave too. Barca, Liverpool and probably Bayern job will be up for grabs.
As a neutral I'd love to see Brighton vs Southampton.
Southampton are on a 18 game winning streak averaging 66% possession in the championship. Something's got to give. Will be fascinating to see if Brighton would dominate them.
What you think?
It can happen quite quick, it's never as much as most people think. Newcastle went from 11th to 4th after 2 transfer windows (and a lot of money), Villa have shot up the table too with good additions.
In Spain, Girona went from 10th to currently 2nd in one transfer window...
His Southampton team has closed the gap to 3 points with Ipswich now, 17 unbeaten.
Most recent game a 2-1 home win with 78% possession, 752 passes. Tell me this doesn't sound like a De Zerbi replacement! Other than Martin, the Las Palmas manager in Spain or Girona manager would be a great coup.
De Zerbi sees himself as a manager on Pep's level, probably thinks he's better than Arteta, Klopp etc.
He wants everyone to know he's only in the current position (8th) because of the club selling his players. Good managers have egos. Mourinho does this all the time too.
Wow. That RDZ interview is interesting.
He really pressing the fact he had to sell his best players in the summer, I hope he isn't forced to again, or he might leave.
16 games unbeaten in the Championship
Averaging 65.4 % possession (highest average ever recorded in the Champ) with 662 average passes per game (highest average recorded). Brighton born man, seems like a good fit to carry on De Zerbi's work if/when he goes to City.
Remarkable how Iran can manipulate the entire world so easily.
