The challenge is that RDZ has got us to a stronger position quicker than planned. That brings questions into sharper focus. I would argue that De Zerbi has given the reassurance necessary, by qualifying for the last 16 whilst staying in touch of European places under the most challenging...

as mentioned above - there will be lots of well funded - bigger clubs looking to strengthen in January. The market will be significantly over-valued as a result. The club may not be able to back RDZ, even if they try to.

Another factor will be the number of clubs needing to restrengthen in january Spurs/Newcastle/United should all be looking to strengthen. Meaning the cost of every half decent player will be massively exaggerated. Traditionally this means we will bow out of negotiations. De Zerbi acknowledges...

Yeah agree with that - Dunk mis controlled slightly and had to lunge for the ball, saw he hadn't got it away and left a bit on Kulusevski. Yellow all day long, could have been a red (but i don't think it was)

I'm sure he is happy. But his mentality is to push everyone to improve and aim higher. That includes Bloom and Barber. You'll notice he has stopped calling them by name, or speaking well of them, over the past few months. It 's just his negotiating position. Bloom needs to weigh the situation...

He has an agenda to make sure the club back him in the upcoming window. he is aware of the club policies of not overpaying/wage structure/not standing in pllayer's way. He is also being offerd a new contract. Whilst these pressing matters are unresolved, it serves no purpose for him to seem...
