Life After Emery Begins

[Mark Tobias]

Exactly, but he hasn't done anything wrong yet and he won't have after today.

.

What? His first game in charge didn't exactly light fires. Got the team selection a mid muddled. Made some silly subs.. Was hardly a masterpiece... Only reason I haven't sunk my teeth in is because he actually warned us that is how he was going to start.. slow and steady. Jury is still well and truly out though. Hoping for the best but I don't think Freddie is ready for such a high profile job yet.

No idea what being a legend has to do with anything. Absolute dream to have a legend as a manager but unless it happens I have no idea why people are putting so much weight on the topic... It gives that person absolutely zero advantage

Slowly and gradually we are becoming AC Milan 2.0! Lovely stuff if happens. At least, I can easily stop watching Arsenal games for few years

AC Milan have always been in the upper echelons of European Football. Always competing for Serie A, Coppa Italia & the CL. Second after Real in the number of European Cups won. They're a grand club in decline. We're a big club who has remained static for the better part of 2 decades & allowed the rot to set in.

The disrespect for Freddie if we appoint Vieira

Raul has shown no class in his time here so this wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Tourbillion]

There's no way even our bunch of loser idiots would go this route.

Next.

 

[say yes]

Why won’t this rumour go away?

What the hell has happened here, I mean, we clearly could do worse than a club legend like Vieira, but in that sense you could give it to Ljungberg for at least the rest of the season.

He's only impressed so far, is also a club legend, tries to play the Wenger way - what's not to like?

Vieira isn't exactly the 'proven' option you could throw out, if you felt like that's what needed.

Either go by a proven SUCCESSFUL manager or just leave it to Ljungberg now.
Cannot see much more than Vieira's presence that would speak for him - not really impressed with his work as a manager so far.

1. Playing Xhaka and Guendouzi together when it's clear that it does not work.
2. Very questionable subs.

I will say the attacking play was markedly better.

Desperately need another PL manager sacked to get rid of that one

 

[SA Gunner]

I tend to dismiss rumours that dont speak to my likes, and this Vieira rumour is another one of those.

I think Raul and co know that they cant afford to stuff up this one. I expect to see a "big name" appointment, with proper backing in the market. Vieira is likely a pointless rumour.

 

[say yes]

Marcelino:

Vieira:

Just like with Nuno, the rumors of going for Paddy are equally disappointing.
He is a club legend, but on his management career he didn't record any significant success (let alone trophies) so far and it would be a very underwhelming appointment.

We should trust Freddie for a period and don't rush to make a quick appointment only to please the fans.

 

[Camron]

Fun fact:

Arteta gets only 8% of votes on Evertons next manager poll.

Moyes, who's dead on to succeed Silva, sits at 1,7%.

There is still room to sink deeper.

Everyone complaining about Paddy getting the job...you lot deserve Marcelino

What about us staying quiet on Paddy? I deserve nice things!

The complaining is justified. He isn't a very good manager. He consistently plays people in the wrong position, makes baffling decisions and has no clear philosophy. Everything we do not need at this current time.

All valid points, my counter argument...it’s Patrick mother-****in’ Vieira!

Think we know who has the better points here...

Forum's becoming a breeding ground for clowns who can't find a circus to join.

 

[Ceballinhos]

That's an insane amount of money, but he does improve teams. I mean, he was really unlucky to not win a CL at least once, having met a prime Real Madrid that was like clockwork and won La Liga in spite of the big two.
He's a ballsy coach that's a great fit for the league and we're a spineless bunch in desperate need of guidance, so it couldn't be a better fit as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think it's an insane amount of money when you take into account that Atletico is a much smaller club that Barcelona / real / or any top PL club.

The only way they had to keep him for so long was to overpay him.

Otherwise why would he have stayed so long when you get better jobs offer?

 

[Sanis]

This thread is so pointless and boooring atm.

 

[goonergaz]

It’s been a recurrent theme where we’ve overlooked the lower divisions for young talent and taken flyers on the likes of Asano.

Buying from those lower leagues means you often have players with high resale value.

He wasn't under 20 either. Also, in 2017 who would you join given the choice!?

Look, I don't disagree, but I do think they also come with a bigger price tag to begin with (normally)...hence scouting all the corners of the globe for any hidden cheaper gems.
