Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

[Goatmeal]

I think Utd have dropped lucky with Amorim. He'd been on our radar for a while and Pep's situation becomes ever more important as a result. He'll be expected to dislodge the Tarquins and scousers pretty quickly. Go on Pep - stay a few more years.

Only signed a 2 1/2 year contract which is telling
Not saying he would come to us but would certainly go to Madrid or Barca if he did well

Well it seems nailed on that Alonso is going to Madrid according to Spanish press, so surely he
must be next choice ,not really anyone else of his quality.

I dont believe in the Spanish propaganda machine after we were told to knight Vinicius poser.Wasnt our Erl goin there? they won the battle for Bellend which I'm retrospectively glad over but showed their arrogance I'm spades Monday night.

I really rate him too. Signed a 5 year contract in the summer so wouldn’t be cheap.

But I’d like to think we’re gonna start spending big again when the 115 shit is done and dusted and we’ve torn the PL a new one, again.

We don't need to 'spend big', we need to invest wisely in young, elite talent of the right character,of which there is a limited number.

A successor for Kev, Kyle,Gundog, another striker and possibly a wild card for the bench.

We have the funds but they have to be invested well.

I agree with you mate on what is required and the criteria… but to achieve it we will have to spend big.

Akanji, Alvarez.....??

Akanji, Alvarez.....??

Neither of those are they type of players to replace a Kev though. If we really do want the best young talent to replace him like a Wirtz, we have to go big on it.

Agreed, but we do produce some great value rabbits out of the hat.

Akanji, Alvarez.....??

They were incredible bargains, agreed. Those kind of deals are few and far between though mate.

Ready made replacements for Walker, Gundogan, KDB along with the addition of a striker won’t come cheap.

Don’t get me wrong, I hope we find 4 more bargains!!

Strange two and a half year contract. If he does well, I can't see him going to RM or Barca, but if we continue doing fantastically well, the best any other Prem club can hope for is to do moderately well. We are about to go through a transitional phase - time doesn't allow our legends to remain a permanent 27 years old. Players can remain unbelievable into their thirties at our club thanks to our god of a coach, but the injuries take longer to recover from. If we lift the Prem this season it will be our greatest ever title win - given the injuries, the fact that at the EUROs our players went deep into the tournament and the number of games played last season.

I thought City had come out with a statement to the effect that they have not been interested in Amorim & furthermore, both Dippers & West Ham looked at him but turned him down??
