Great news Eric black appointed asst manager, and lesser news some French guy appointed manager
A good French guy, strong European pedigree, proven work with youngsters, knows how to deal with big players, good links in the game, tactical fit.
Ticks lots of boxes, looks a good choice on paper. Doesn't have the Premier League experience of Pellegrini but brings a lot to the table.
We are one of many clubs that have made proposals to Ben Arfa. I wonder whether Puel can have some influence their. Expecting to see 3 or 4 new faces now.
36 million for Mane is a lot of money but trying to establish value in the Premier league is impossible now. We have done very well selling players over the last few years. There is no shame in being a selling club. We can show a clear route to bigger things that many of the other sides competing for similar players cannot. That is why we secured Van Dijk when a number of other clubs were interested.
Players back in training next week.
