Jorge SellarsWe don’t have a DoF though
I think we let ourselves in for this as soon as we decided to move on from Nuno, new players, new formation and style - it's going to be a lot to bed in during one pre season with the Euros too.The upheaval (if Neves, Rui, Joao) go just gives us even more work to do. A lot of pressure on the recruitment being spot on
I don't think this new guy has been brought in on the premise he has a complete squad overhaul. From what i have read and listened to(the only way i can get the info as i'm not on the board) he's here to work with the majority of who we have,bar some fresh legs in key areas. But he will want to look at the players first as he is the guy who they are handing the keys of the team to. He might have spent the last month looking at them anyway!I think we're likely following a DoF model where the club suggests players, this was certainly the way under Thelwell. That way you don't have to rebuild from scratch when the head coach leaves.
Leicester's recruitment model is club based for example, not coach based.
It will, but midfield is also where half our problems stem from. Ripping it up and starting again (moutinho was going anyway), is probably the best strategy. Donck and two 8s for me (Vitinha and someone else).Moutinho and Neves both going in the same window would basically decimate the midfield. Yes presumably replacement(s) would come in but would be a lot of upheaval.
This is what the Premier League is about unless you're Manchester City or Liverpool. Just ask Southampton.
Spot on Prawnking, we need something posotive to happen.I'll be relieved when the first of the dominoes of this pre-season falls and something actually happens, as all this speculation is quite depressing...
