    Aye i think they will manage it this season. All the big teams are playing European football aswell, which will level the playing field fatigue wise. He seems to know who he wants, what style of play etc and has got them early. A full pre-season and with the current crop already accustomed to his style, I think they will do well.

    Still need better full backs though. Is walker good enough, which is the main target it seems?

    In terms of Paddy, I don't think any team in the EPL will make a serious offer to be honest. Bigger teams want instant successes and will pay for it. Wee pishy teams think they're better than they are and will want 'proven experience' in that league and spend silly money buying run of the mill EPL crap.

    I honestly reckon we have a good chance. But they might just keep him to make uop the squad numbers and the whole homegrown talent quota.

    Edit: Infact, just reading that 12 clubs want him on loan! Hoffenheim and Schalke included, which seems preferable to Man City. Better league, better opposition, would bump his price tage up it seems and allow them to keep him busy whilst they have no use for him.

    Yep. They are a good side anyway in my opinion and probably the most exciting team in England currently..

    I think his downfall was keeping too many older guy's for a year too long and tweaking his tactics and personnel far too often..

    Walker is an upgrade on the declining Sagna and Zabaleta. Brilliant athlete but for me isn't exactly a Pep type in the sense I think he's not great on the ball and particularly poor in the final third. Definitely a homegrown signing that..

    I change my mind on Paddy so much it's unreal. He said Saturday that he'll (KT) be a good pal wherever he goes which makes me think again that it's not here he'll be coming back to..

    Maybe he was lying when he said he knows in a recent interview what's happening but really doesn't have a clue..

    * sake they're absolutely raiding Monaco.. Bernardo Silva, Fabinho, Mendy and now M'bappe.

    Would be like us losing Sinclair, Armstrong, Tierney and Dembele in one window.

    Franck Kessie is having a medical at AC Milan. They've alread signed Musacchio and seemingly Morata might end up there.

    They might just be on the way back.

    Sampaoli is the new Argentina manager.

    Inter close to getting Pepe on a free and have offered 42 million€ for James Rodríguez.

    Thing is, and the same goes for Inter, these are good players, but they are nowhere near the level of the ones required to become proper kings of Europe once again.

    Find it hard to see a way back in the near future when teams like Man City and Chelsea can attract the more world class players.

    Not yet but it's a good start. Musacchio is solid enough, but it's the other two that would make a big difference.

    Kessie, by all accounts, is already a very good player and he's only 20. Enormous potential. Morata was never prolific for Juve but the fans love him and to be fair, he scored 15 goals in 26 league games for Madrid last season. He'd be a quality signing for Milan.

    They have a long way to go but it's a huge step in the right direction if they get those 3.

    Hopefully. Depressing seeing how poor Italian football is now compared to years ago.
