The Euros won’t be an issue if our director of football has made actual plans around it. We’ll see in due course if that has been the case.

It will be an issue if any potential targets have a good tournament then the goal posts are moved by clubs and agents.
 

He is off our radar mate, getting linked with CL clubs mate so id forget it tbh.

Being linked doesnt mean anything tbh mate the papers link every good player with the top sides.

Richarlison was linked with everyone in Watfords first half a season and ended up at us.

I dont listen to anything the papers say - although I doubt we would go for him as Brands doesnt know a good player if it slapped him in the face!
 

Bielsa's got young, eager lads wanting to further their career... we've got a team's worth of inadequates and layabouts and injury laden wage earners (Kean, Gbamin, Gomes, Bernard, Iwobi, Delph, Bolasie, Besic, Tosun to name but 9)

The scary thing is their starting lineup contains just 3 new signings from the team that played in the Championship. It once again highlights the importance of having energy and pace in the side.

They are one of the most energetic teams in the league, but equally I watched them against Crawley in the cup. They didn't put in the effort you need and they got thrashed 4 nil. You need both energy and attitude, one without the other and you will have problems, even if you have the right physical attributes in your squad. We sometimes have a good attitude but lack energy. When we lack the right attitude as well, then we are hugely exposed.
 
We didn't break Ancelotti, we've just given him a squad that isn't great at football. At all the other clubs he's had success with he had some of the best players in the world at his disposal. It's no surprise he's struggling to achieve here when his game changer from the bench is Sigurdsson.
