paul514 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 As it’s so quiet this morning…. perhaps we should play a little game….. you can sell who you like for their transfermarkt value and buy who you want for their transfermarkt value…. you have 150m as a net spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobs Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I don’t think we will sign anyone until we have a new director of football in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I believe that Monchi would be an even better “get” than Alemany… what a track record and reputation… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Monchi was a catastrophic failure at Roma. Words can't describe how horrific he was in his 2 years there. https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmetgates/2023/05/31/monchi-at-roma-the-downfall-of-the-messi-of-recruitment/?sh=6ff81e86a3c9 That said, he was fantastic working with Emery at Sevilla. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell us more…I can’t recall many details but I’m sure he has done some great business and is so highly rated. PSG pursued him for quite a while? Built a strong and successful Sevilla side?

Oh dear… well, his relationship with Emery (and Unai’s influence) should hopefully ensure he does a lot better here and he can make good use of our resources, if we manage to appoint him. As long as Unai has the final say… There are always so many factors regarding how successful or not someone can be in such a role… that article indicates a lack of patience and understanding perhaps, or maybe he just wasn’t suited to that environment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like people expected the world from him really quickly after virtually every key player in that side was sold. Even with all the mitigating factors, that 18/19 season is indefensible: and it seems he knows it.. Sevilla have been relatively poor this season as well, which seems to be the reason why Monchi is seemingly leaving. They were fighting relegation for the first half of the season but have reverted back to European-level form since the new year: and of course reached another Europa League final.

HalfTimePost Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) I've liked this player for a while, I'd assumed he'd be going somewhere we had no chance of intercepting - Liverpool, Bayern etc considering he's available on a Free... But if he's going to Roma, we should absolutely be all over trying to bring him here instead. Unless he had a disastrous season this year - he was one of the best young CBs in Europe last season and has 150 appearances at 23 - very good for a CB Edited June 7, 2023 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
