Hugo Viana | Director of Football

With a bit of luck, he might even make the bald fraud look good

He's good, but he's not THAT good.

Unacceptable

Quite clearly wearing two different jumpers in the signing announcements. Total clown show.

 

[manimanc]

He's got off to an excellent start.

Simply put but on the money.
Couldn't have asked for more.

Should have bid 200m for Wirtz.

Gone from buyout clauses to buying at half value.
Letting Kev go
Wholesale staff changes

Dunno about director of football, we've hired a fixer lol. Doing a superb job.

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

He knows a real deal when he sees one...


With Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki already signed, plus Tijjani Reijnders hopefully to be announced soon.

It must be said Hugo Viana is doing a mint job I love that he's already been out on a proper bargain hunt, he's got us some dead good deals and I wonder what a full transfer window might bring us.

 

[Abattoir Blue]

Txiki is still there and in charge until the end of this window.

And he's "getting them in early" because we have a tournament worth £100m to play on Wednesday.

Txiki will have been heavily involved in, if not completely in control of, all of these deals.

Pity he couldn't get off his ass and get Reijnders sorted. FFS Hugo.

 

[Alfie Budd]

Loving this man's work no fucking about all summer like his predecessor get them in early

Early doesn’t really come into it - the Club World Cup window means this summer can’t be compared to anything that’s happened in the past in terms of transfers.

I strongly suspect you'll regret that comment tomorrow. The only reason it wasn't announced was he was in the Netherlands squad tonight for a WC qualifier, and sat next to Nathan on the bench.

Plane leaving Groningen (where the game was played tonight) at 07:00 to Manchester.

 

[WRicko]

Reijnders, Cherki, Ait-Nouri in the bag and currently chasing after Livramento, Costa and one more player. Not to mention Klopp's assistant manager and a set-piece coach. Can't lie, Viana seems to know what we want and need.

One more ? Meaning ? What position ? According to ?

Aahh it's pure laziness. He's just in the door and couldn't finish a day's work.

There is an article on the mUen City page explaining why the announcement hasn't been made. It is expected to be on Wednesday morning.

FACT: Chequebook managers are only as good as the DoM. Lucky Pep.

Take a bow for Hugo. Well done son.

Bollocks!! Couldn't even be arsed to get a Christmas jumper out of the loft for the reindeer signing.
HUGO OUT!!!

 

[bluetonium]

If he adds a right back in the next window and can shift a few of the additional squad players on, then pretty much faultless is how it feels.

 

[skillman]

Made me laugh on the new Inside City video, he was taking pictures with Reijnders on Sunday and couldn’t get away quick enough - something tells me he was balls deep in Cherki discussions with Lyon!

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Just been thinking....we could have Berrada now instead of Hugo. Thanks United!

I don’t know who is i/c sponsorship but I feel, given the worldwide brand and high US TV figures, we still could get more or bigger deals.
