It’s more the impact completely changing the style of play could have on the squad that’s concerning.

Would be a perfect replacement! Another name to throw in is Jagoba Arrasate. Completely different style of play but did wonders at Osasuna and has recently stepped down. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/jagoba-arrasate-a-deeper-look-at-his-osasuna-project-tactical-analysis-tactics

If it’s between Enzo and McKenna then I think Enzo’s gone. McKenna for me will end up at Man U if they want him.

I’ll be gutted if he leaves.

If true I can’t see Chelsea not getting McKenna unless Man Utd have already decided to part ways with Ten Haag.

If I’m a betting man I would have Southgate become Man Utd manager in the next 12 months.

If Enzo was to leave the thing that worries me is the fact that he was pushing for change within the board room that’s desperately needed. That’ll go out of the window with him leaving. To be honest I’m confused why they aren’t just going for De Zerbi?

The work Knutsen has done at Bodo is unbelievable. I would be willing to give him a chance.

I’ve stated previously that I think we will be after a big bodied striker who’s got bit of an aerial threat, we play so many crosses but have no real aerial threat.

If he’s on no more than £15/£20k a week he’s worth keeping round as a squad player. Can cover the wings and central positions. I don’t think he’s good enough to start or be the first replacement but as a 4th/5th choice on those wages I would be happy to keep him around on the basis he would be happy with that role.

I have seen a few people stating they would want Brahima Diarra now he has been released… I honestly don’t understand the hype around him, am I missing something? Yes he’s young and good at the high press, but other than that he doesn’t seem to offer anything for me.

Signed for £15m with £5m add ons (doubt they add ons have been met) on a five and half year contract meaning his contracts up until 2029. He has 4 years remaining, so we would have to roughly make around £10/£11m to break even on the deal. Like others stated, can see it being a loan for Souttar unless Saudi come knocking as he’s classed as an Asian player.

Very good player, offers versatility to provide cover for winks but also play further up the pitch. Good set piece taker, which is something we need imo. Reminds me very much of a younger Sensei.

I think the club assumed that multiple championship clubs would be queing for his services on loan and banked on the fact his stock would rise. Once again, a stupid gamble to take now knowing the financial crisis the club is in.

Truthfully, seeing how cut throat Enzo is being this summer, he knows how important next year will be and I wouldn't be surprised if he see's something like this and says see you later then mate. The thing with Wilf is, he knows his stock is never going to be higher than it is right now, he is simply attempting to cash in on that with his age which is fine but like others have stated why are you saying it publicly? Keep that between yourself and your agent.

So I have only just got round to listening to the WYS podcast with Guillem. Truthfully, I understand why people find him so annoying when he is making comments like Enzo will take you to europe then does an immediate U-Turn and says everyone's expectations should simply be to avoid relegation as if it was not already. It also very clear that he is leaching off Enzo to keep himself relevant. However, I do struggle to understand why so many people have become frustrated having listened to the podcast. Overall, I found the podcast very intriguing. Guillem gave us insight of crucial moments of the season, which personally as a fan I find very interesting as it helps you understand the manager's management style. He is also giving us clear communication on behalf of Enzo, which as fans we have been crying out for and personally I am all here for it. I know that then leads to people making comparisons to Brendan Rodgers, because Enzo is dictating what the club requires but for me I don't think the two situations are comparable. Brendan's sole interests were those of his own. He wanted to be able to employ his buddies knowing full well they weren't necessary up for the job, Congerton being one prime example. He then threw his toys out of the pram because he had no transfer budget and ultimately got us relegated with a top 10 squad. The difference for me is basing off what Guillem has said, Enzo is not asking for people to be fired, he is not asking the club for complete control, he is simply advising that the people at the top need to start pulling their weight (Something we have been stating for years). He is also suggesting that the club employee more people higher up to ensure the club is ran properly and does not find itself again in the mess that we was/are in. Again, as a fan that is music to my ears that someone is challenging them. Finally, if Guillem is not just talking waffle, it seems that if Enzo stays this year, he is not looking to use the club as a stepping stone, he wants to be here long term and build a club which bit by bit can be where we was and deserved to be. For me, that's everything you should want to hear from your manager and something we have been lacking for so long. Enzo it seems is attempting to build something that not only benefits himself but the club for many, many years. Hence the meeting with the board as he wants to know if they are serious or not. I think people need to relax and appreciate that at least to me, we someone in charge who truly seems like he cares about our clubs future. Sidenote - If Top does rebuild the board room staff, it will be interesting to see how he does. As far as we are concerned he has never built his own board room before, at KP he walked into ownership of a very established and successful team and I would imagine he kept things in place and as we know he has made no changes at Leicester.

Slightly different ones an important player in the squad the other has no importance in the squad, of course perspective is going to be different. I get your last paragraph though.

Spot on.

He was then got dropped for Vards because of poor form after the AFCON and with media/fans asking Enzo why he was persisting with an out of form striker?

Yeah Daka has 2 years left on his contract and was signed for £22m, meaning there is still £8.8m that needs paying off from a FFP perspective. Not much profit to be made on Daka I would imagine.

Enzo has also shown that he does not want Vardy playing week in, week out at his age. I think we will definitely be in the market for a forward.

Completely agree, O’Hare and Barkley are both players I feel we have to target. That position is desperate for depth and creativity, both being on a free seems a no brainier.

Emailed, count me in.

Especially with Top’s fixation to operate like Man City.

Perfectly fine with Vesty and Vards getting offered new contracts. It will be interesting to see where this leaves Coady as he will still have around £5m left on his fee from a FFP perspective and can’t see any clubs offering that amount for him. What worries me the most is Rudkin being left to negotiate these contracts, agents will know he can be drained for £££ and if Enzo has specifically requested for these players I won’t be surprised to see Rudkin offer good money to keep Enzo sweet.
