No. He’s going to be a contender in the future, but he’s not ready yet.
Marc Van Bommel is one we should have on our short list though, especially given how his teams draw players in and play out from the back.
It’s because of the fees that it costs to buy a league place in the MLS.
Charlotte FC paid a reported 350m dollars just to register the new club with the league.
Jamie Oliver did a tv series (and a book) last year on Mediterranean food, and it’s well worth watching on More4 for ideas.
Summer is the perfect weather to make the switch,
Unless the player wants a transfer and to settle at a club for a few seasons, rather than the prospect of having further loans.
Swansea have a long interest in him, and that would be a good move.
Yes. There’s similarities to Potter also.
Farioli studied philosophy at Uni as well as Sports Science and did his thesis on football. Then worked in lower leagues before working with Qatar’s youth teams.
Definitely ticks a lot of boxes which we look for,
Napoli will likely be appointing a new manager in the summer as well. That would have an emotional pull for RDZ.
Also Potter is being linked with the Dortmund job, as there’s talk of that becoming available.
Newcastle will probably want to ‘upgrade’ sometime soon as well.
Potentially a lot...
Can’t see Eddie going to us after Newcastle.
Think England is possibly his next step or West Ham and I think the likelihood of him featuring high on our list is slim.
Francesco Farioli is the one I think we’ll want. Has worked with RDZ, knows his methods and will want to manage in England.
Wanted him before he went to Napoli.
There’s a lot of young and highly promising wonder kids coming out of that region.
Abdukodir Khusanov, Kristjan Asllani and Kristjan Asllani all worth keeping an eye on.
I opened this fully expecting it to be about Ivan Toney.
No way he should be captaining Brentford given his previous behaviour and recent comments about wanting to leave.
I searched and there’s no specific thread on him, and we weren’t linked previously.
Someone did suggest him as a Caicedo replacement in one of them though.
USG are another being linked and who have been scouting him regularly. Wouldn’t be a bad move if he played in Belgium for a couple of seasons before joining us…
