My choice would be someone like Ruben Amorim.

My concern is he's spent his entire career as both player and manager in Liga NOS.

considering Henry and Vieira were both on the opposite sides of a takeover bid, I doubt they'll ever be considered

Oh good point. Perhaps Tony Adams then.

He’d win us fans over purely through outfit entertainment

But it's no concern that Postecoglu has only managed in third rate leagues?

Amorim is about as highly rated as any young manager in world football, for perspective he had a grand two months of top flight coaching experience at Braga when Sporting made him the second or third most expensive manager ever by paying his 10m release clause. He immediately took perennial bottlers Sporting to win their first league title in twenty years in his first full season. I like what I've seen from Postecoglu and he certainly seems more promising than Arteta but Amorim is a much safer bet.

Everyones sleeping on Remi Garde.

Kessie
Vlahovic
Emerson Royal

Problems solved

Ray

--------------Leno
--Saliba---White---Gabriel
AMN---Partey---Xhaka---Tierney
----Pepe------------Saka
--------------Auba

Vlahovic is not leaving this window. Dont bother.

Should have went for Saul and Matheus early

Clrnc

Noni Madueke

lorddulaarsenal

He’d be ace

lorddulaarsenal

Probably the best we can hope for between now and the close of the window is to sort the rightback issue

I'd never heard of this guy so I looked him up. He seems one to watch for sure. But I'd disagree he's a "much safer bet" than someone who has won league titles in two countries - one where he didn't know the language or culture - and won an international continental championship.

They'd both have risks, but both could be equally likely to succeed.

I like the look of Postecoglu as I said but I'm not sure I agree with you here. His winning a title in Japan is impressive but there's a huge gulf in quality between the leagues in which they won a title.

Amorim joined Sporting when they were fifth shortly after Fernandes left. He then won the league in his first full season against two teams with clearly superior squads and two managers who have several league wins on their CVs, Jorge Jesus even went to South America and became the best manager there in no time. Postecoglu might be promising but so far at least I don't see him as one of the biggest managing prospects around. He might change that at Celtic and so far sure looks like he'll be doing that.

We can do worse than Jorge Jesus too. Impressive backs against the wall performance yesterday against PSV

Postecoglu has won an international tournament with a national team, whereas the UCL this season is Amorim's 1st foray outside domestic football.

I'd probably rate Postecoglu's CV higher than Potter for much the same reasons.

That said with our current brains trust I'd expect to see Martinez considering he was on the previous list of candidates IIRC.

Pointless to discuss Aussies with you guys 😆

Ricky1985

Yeah, this is like discussing Moroccans or Frankfurt players with Jones. Oh, hi Jones! :hmm: 😆

jones

😆 fair enough but then again everyone knows Morocco has the highest 5 star skiller per capita ratio in the world

KingslandBarge

Nketiah and Bissouma part-swap deal. Just get it done, please. Top 4 is there for the taking if we have an ambitious but within-means end to the window.
Also please blood-in AMN for RB to rotate with Chambers.
