The serious point about this mush though is that he needs pressure exerted upon him, not treated with kid gloves.
He's got to earn any reputation he has here, and it must be hard earned.
Did he bring in one or two good players last summer? Yes. However, his inability to shift players out other than by the easy option of sending them on loan - plus his failiure to address some glaring problems in the team in January - have blotted his performance.
I want to see him out of the blocks early this summer:
- Wrap up a deal for Gueye
- Make a decision on Gomez
- Get cash in from Lookman, Nasse, Ramirez, Vlasic and Besic
- Get Dowell, Onyekuru, Connolly and Robinson back in
- Get shut of Baines and Jagielka and Mirallas.
Most of that should be doable quickly after being here for a year. In tandem with that, get Moshiri to commit to landing a minimum of 4 targets by the end of the window.
