2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Azza]

Still comes back to Brands for me.

We should be well into a cycle now that sees young players brought in and emerging, or doing well already.

Apart from one or two exceptions, where is that talent??

Where are the prospects, or the player signed on the relative cheap thats now worth x4 what we paid for him?

There is only one model for us and thats buy not cheap, but cheaper certainly, and either 1) Sell at a large profit and start the cycle again or 2) Get a baller who will be in the team 90% of the time for the next 10 years.

I can get behind signing James at any time under any circumstances. Allan was brought for expediency more than anything else and I support that too.

But we can't sustain that model. It isn't a model.

Ancelotti can only be as strong as the weakest link here and worryingly, Brands seems to be the weakest link.

Which other teams have been doing that in the PL recently?

Nope just the bedwetters

At 66:1 to get the next manager sacked he is seen to be equally as secure in his job as Pep G nobody else is seen as even close to being as secure ...

We need better depth. You can’t go from James Allan Docuoure to Siggurdson Davies Gomes and expect to win lots of games. The disparity in quality in our squad is one of the highest in the league. Other teams replace like for like, we replace a very good player with a very poor player.

How much did Siggurdson and Gomes cost ?

Too much.

Prolifigacy on the clubs part.

All clubs do it at some point. Andy Carroll's transfer to our neighbours springs to mind. Cost does not equate to quality.

Doesn’t matter, they’re terrible players. One can’t run, the other can’t make a simple pass. Neither can tackle. Neither put any effort in. They’re terrible midfield players.

Real Madrid consider Ancelotti return with Zidane close to Bernabeu exit

Jarg but according to some they should be looking at Davey Moyes instead

The obvious issue with Leicester comparisons is that I don't think we've got any intention of following their model.

The obvious issue is the weight of expectation just isn't there with Leicester, sure if they keep this up it might start but we are a massive club carrying the full heft of the ball and chain around with us. Even as a supporter you can feel it as a suffocating presence.

It's a really good point. I know a few Leicester season ticket holders and they're just riding the crest of a wave this ladt few years and enjoying it.

Chuck in no really relevant local rivals (in recent success terms) and they are just happy. We've got Big Red needling us constantly.

Having said that, it's not a mean feat winning major domestic trophies, so fair play to them.

I hand on heart believe you could transplant that whole Leicester team and Rodgers to Everton and under our name they would wilt under the pressure. It's just totally different environment. Hopefully Carlo can change that but we also need a lot of luck to win something to truly cast aside the baggage.

I just can’t believe they’re not going for Moyes, Graeme Potter, Hasenhuttl, Allardyce and Marco Silva. Why would they want three time CL winner Carlo Ancelotti?

Gyfyli has 8 goals and 9 assists.

James has 6 goals and 8 assists.

They are almost certainly going to appoint Raul.

What do you think of Thiago mate ?

Massively overrated.

Leicester proving what good recruitment looks like.
