Guardiola on Arteta

[ashwuk76]

Anyone got any quotes of what the manager of that Chinese team Anichebe played for said about him? Would be fascinating to know.

Considering they never paid him I doubt it's anything good!

 

[Tipp blue]

Perhaps Pep can move to us so Arteta can have a crack in an environment he is used to? Just a thought.

Nah don't want him unproven at any club that was not successful before he moved to them, I'd much rather Alan Curbishley or have I had too much beer?

 

[Zezti]

It would be a risk I would be okay with us taking.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Would be a massive gamble and one we can not afford to take.

We need an experienced hand imo.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I heard that former Everton centre forward Duncan Ferguson had recently stepped into management...

Thought you wanted us relegated?

....I wondered if Silva had been sacked for a minute.

I always judge a new manager by his dealings in the transfer market, but I suppose that element becomes much less of an issue when you have a DoF.

It makes the appointment of a ‘coach’ much less risky. Arteta has been working with the best, so he must be an attractive proposition. Saying that, he was hammered by many of our fans after he left, so even if we were in the market for a new Manager, he might not want to come to us.

This is the whole DoF conundrum;
Method 1...'a' buys players for 'b', who says you've bought me a apple I needed an orange...'a' says, you're the coach - coach him to be an apple - as happened at Watford...allegedly

Method 2...'b' says to 'a' I need a Peter Reid type, can you get me the best one we can afford. 'a' says leave it with me, I'll get back to you with a short list...'b'...sound.

Method 3.
'a'...taxi for 'b'

Judas.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

In this day and age you have to be a larger than life character with a burning desire to motivate / create belief in people / and win.

Hence why Pep and Klopp are doing so well.


I would prefer Cahill over Arteta, though at this stage, neither would be ideal.

Silva appears passionless and a mumbler, which doesn't help his public image, especially when results are absolutely dreadful.

 

[ToffeeTim]

It isn't about Premiership experience.... he has no experience at any level.

Neither did Pep at Barca. It's not a big problem. Experience is hugely over emphasised. If it was all about experience we'd get in Pardew or Curbishley.

Sigh

Maybe take your time to actually read something correctly rather than make a poor attempt at trolling.

Stating relegation wouldnt be a diasater to the club doesnt = I hope we get relegated.

 

[EFCPaul]

We need a manager with an idea. I'm not particularly arsed what he looks like or his personality, just someone with a plan that everyone can see and buy into.

I genuinely have no idea what Silva's idea is, someone please tell me if you know. What is our style of play? What does he have them working on during training? What players has he signed specifically to implement a style?

It's the same problem for OGS at United, what the eff is he actually trying to do because from the outside looking in it just looks as if he picks an XI and tells them to wing it. It's Sunday League management.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

We’ve only ever won anything with ex-players who’ve won things as players with us, so it’s a no from me.

Enough with this nonsense. We must hire Eddie Howe. NOW
