I wonder what the odds are that we get linked with Koopmeiners (again). He's been quoted as saying he wants to leave Atalanta.

This is a no brainer for Slot. Superb presser and very athletic his wikpedia says he has 25 goals in 92 games for Atlanta which is better than 1 in 4 excellent for a midfielder. He is horrible to play against as we have seen against us. Slot had him at AZ Alkamar and is now entering his prime years at 26 years old. We really have a lack of players in the 25-30 age bracket. He would probably cost around 40m and would be superb in the double pivot with Macca.

Sporting losing 2-0 to Porto, Do we really care now? 

I'm not saying that it would be funny if Sporting bottled the league, but I'm also not saying that it wouldn't be funny.

Edwards is sorted now whatever happens, given the lengths FSG went to lure him back. The issue isn't whether he thinks Hughes is competent (especially with Edwards overseeing and all the data nerds like Spearman on the recruitment side supporting him), it's that it's not exactly been a meritocratic process. If there are major problems down the line, the blame will fall on Hughes not his boss/mate vouching for him.

But the world knows that its Edwards mate and that he appointed him. Should it all go to shit and Hughes gets turfed out, there would be some blowback on Edwards. He could have alleviated that by hiring what seemed a top Sporting Director on paper. But now there is pressure on him as well.

Edwards has been part of a shit set up under Rodgers and a good one under Klopp. I reckon he is super confident in his way of working and probably feels the best way of success is having a set up where people have the same outlook and work together. I reckon in Hughes he feels he has someone that can work in the way he is familiar with.

Slightly off topic. But just thinking ahead to Slot's adventures in Europe next year. Regarding the new Champions league format. Does anyone know if it means we'll face other English teams in the league phase?

All VAR has done is shown us that the officials are corrupt, not just shite.

The one thing that I can never understand is when Howard Webb says “We don’t want to re-referee the game”

Going to VAR is though so I’m not sure what the bent twat is on about.

I'm really excited for this new chapter

Pressing and playing on the front foot was great at its best. 4231 was great at its best. Combining the two could bring some exceptional stuff

Got a feeling we're gonna be a really exciting team to watch

If we make only one signing this summer, it needs to be Arsenals set piece coach

Thing is when he enters our dressing room he will be walking into a very, very good and experienced squad. Massive bonus is no mass rebuild is needed just a few patches.

I was skeptical of the hire initially, but I'm quickly coming around to that view. I think the quality of the midfield play might be a revelation.
