I would definitely expect to see a marked improvement statistically under Pep though.

He's bagged 54 in 214 and he's 27 years old. We can do better IMO.Last year of his contract, localish, proven goal scorer, would sit on the bench though?
I'm not saying it will be the same for us but Bayern won SEVEN consecutive Bundesliga titles including a treble in 2020 starting the year after Pep left and Barca won 5 La Liga titles and finished 2nd in two others also with a treble in 2015 following Pep's departure. So looking at the clubs upon Pep leaving completely disproves your point. Just sayin"...That would be a mistake on our part because no manager can operate on the same level as Pep or even come close. Might just be me though, because you have to let each manager have a bit of their own identity, not just adapt to specific way just because. We’re underestimating the gap in quality between Pep and another manager that is like Pep.
No doubt having the core will dictate which manager comes in next but I wouldn’t be too set on continuing where Pep left off. Look at the clubs that tried to continue where he left off for example.

He's a full Argentinian international. Maybe we should loan him to a mid to top table championship club.Echeverri? He seemed more like a development player who would benefit from loans rather than being in our squad

I stand corrected, saw him play in the Olympics but that is obviously classed as under 23. However, the point still stands.Why go from River Plate first team to someone like Norwich City or Watford?

Think he gets another 6months at River, with Gallardo back. Arrives here in summer. but purely gut feeling.I stand corrected, saw him play in the Olympics but that is obviously classed as under 23.

Agree. Echeverry isn't going anywhere near that type of football, simple as...I stand corrected, saw him play in the Olympics but that is obviously classed as under 23. However, the point still stands.Why go from River Plate first team to someone like Norwich City or Watford?
Wharton has only played half a season in PL - I wouldn't expect anyone to move for him or Palace to allow him to go without a silly offer or even Wharton to want to move on without giving Palace another year.Why is nobody moving for Wharton and why are City keeping quiet I can only hope.
Wharton and Eze in for Nunes and Philips plus a heap of cash I can only hope.

I hope so, I'm just suggesting he's a contender
yep he was, confirmed by tolmie, hence that's why u see when ornstein get all the rags exclusives now...From a fans perspective it’s all been a bit frustrating this summer - not much inward transfer activity to date but, the big difference is that there’s been no reliable inside info. The club have seemingly been successful at closing all leaks and no doubt actively at City is unchanged from other years but we know less about it. We could have had unsuccessful bids for players already this summer that we don’t know about. It’s just a case of being patient and I’m sure it makes it easier for the club to do its business without all the media speculation. It makes you wonder if Omar was the one leaking info…. Who knows.

Perrone went from Velez to Las Palmas and it's been good for his development. From what I've seen of Echeverri he looks talented but raw. Happy to be corrected and he has every chance of impressing when he joins up in January.

Bit harsh having the likes of those players training with the younger lads.
Cannot be good for morale

Why has Chalobah been booted ? Every time I see him I think he has something, not sure what but it’s there.

Academy lad, so pure book profit. they want the money.Why has Chalobah been booted ? Every time I see him I think he has something, not sure what but it’s there.

We should try. Fairly sure he started out as a DM, moved to CB, can also cover right back. If Phillips is sold this would be a shrewd buy. Would ease the burden on Akanji and especially Stones who’s injury prone.
Been there since 8 from what I read. That is a disgraceful way of dealing with one of your own.Why has Chalobah been booted ? Every time I see him I think he has something, not sure what but it’s there.

Bayern till Hansi Flick winning the Bundesliga doesn’t really paint the whole picture of how they wanted to be better and struggled with managers and identity after Pep. And Barca won with Lucho because that’s arguably up there with the best collection of attack ever assembled. Can’t really use that here given context. Both suffered long term. Bayern just hired Kompany to try and emulate what they had with Pep, so they’ve clearly been trying for years. Not just about silverware you’ll obtain solely off squad strength.I'm not saying it will be the same for us but Bayern won SEVEN consecutive Bundesliga titles including a treble in 2020 starting the year after Pep left and Barca won 5 La Liga titles and finished 2nd in two others also with a treble in 2015 following Pep's departure.

Prem is a different ball game however, it is only because of Pep why we keep winning, but even then the margins are getting closer and closer. Next manager I don’t think manages to have the success rate like him. And football always keeps evolving, Madrid never relied on a style of play or a specific identity because they kept switching it up. What pep’s done will keep us set for years to come, but it doesn’t mean the next manager should try the same thing, firstly because he isn’t Pep and secondly it’s as I said you have to have new ideas instead of copy paste or it doesn’t work.
