    Cristian Romero

    I agree he had underperfermoed at times in the league. Mostly to do with individual moments, lapses of concentration. I guess part of the question is did we lose however many games we did with him in the team (fewer than 22) in part because he wasn't demanding enough of himself or others. I'm...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You bring up a good point. I don't understand finances in general or our specific situation well enough to have a strong opinion on this. What I do know is that Levy has never put us in a situation where we weren't able to spend money going into the next season since the stadium was built...

    Cristian Romero

    Can totally get Romero being unhappy about how a lot of things have gone since he came here. He's by now a serial winner and imo good enough to play at any club in the world. He's obviously not the type to just keep his mouth shut when things aren't going well. I don't mind that. Shows...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Fully agreed on managing expectations. And with our still fairly young squad letting Frank do his thing with developing players and getting the most out of what he has and gets. I could see a player like Odobert absolutely thrive and grow under Frank. Different player, but similar to Mbuemo at...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Agreed. Whereas Maddison can play at different speeds and even help set the tempo. Kulusevski needs someone to act as a deeper playmaker behind him. Maddison can drop into that role. Kulusevski obviously has more of a physical presence that we've sometimes missed without him and an absolute...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Fully agree. A fair bit of the criticism of our wage budget and wages to turnover ratio doesn't accept your premise that the money comes from the same pot. It's a "spend more money" / "spend more of your own money" argument.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    So far I think this is the most unified positive reaction to a managerial hire I can remember in a long time. Or somewhere between moderately to highly positive about him. Very few real negative reactions. Perhaps says a bit about Frank, but I also think it's partially because we just won the...

    If Frank can translate overperforming on a smaller budget to overperforming on a bigger budget we'll be in for a good time. That's part of what Pochettino did and what actually is fairly rare.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Good to have it official. And good to see him get some of his highest thought of coaches with him. Will be interesting to see what he can do here.

    Disagree that this is the whole point of a loan. It's one of the points, but far from the only one.

    Mikey Moore

    Ok. My point is that it happens sometimes. Here or our on loan, players look out of place, not at the level, then step up given a bit of time. Meaning that it's difficult to know what he or any other player is ready for before he's had the chance to show what he can do with some chances and time.

    Mikey Moore

    Sure. I have no idea what your point is.

    Here probably Winks? Elsewhere quite a few examples.
  14. B

    Mikey Moore

    Yes, I'm aware of that. But we've also seen other players here and elsewhere step up without needing a loan first. It was just an example of a player needing time to settle in and the differences in how a player can look before and after getting up to speed.

    Luka Vuskovic

    CB is just one of the difficult jigsaws this summer. Uncertainty about Romero, if he leaves we imo need a top level replacement - which will probably be difficult. Uncertainty about Dragusin's timeline for returning from injuries. Uncertainty about how the existing players will fit the new...
