What I want are good players, doesn't matter what their name is or where they they are from. We signed some of our greatest players ever whilst sat midtable in the championship with Nigel Pearson in charge. Was Pochettino a name before joining spurs? No. But they signed good players without him being a big name. You sign players by offering what their clubs want and giving them good terms. Managers can factor into it, but the overriding thing is money and are you a good step for their career. Unfortunately several things have put a black mark against our name. The negative publicity surrounding Ranieri's departure. What's the perception of us out there now? Us flirting with disaster for two seasons out of three. People want to join a stable prem club where they can showcase their talents for a bigger move and where their relegation clause looks unlikely to needed. Mahrez issuing his statement about wanting out, people are wondering about what sort of team we're going to be without probably our highest profile player. We need to make a statement that we mean business. Everton put the work in early and those things will snowball into convincing playersyou are serious, they aren't "names" particularly, but people are talking about them, they look serious. We don't look serious at the moment, we don't look ambitious. We look content to sit where we are. That doesn't need to come from hiring a "name" manager. If in the next 7 days we signed Iheanacho and announced a stadium expansion on the horizon, we're suddenly look ambitious. We'd look like a team that wants to go somewhere. (Just an example). Maguire was a good start, but I was hoping we'd follow it up quickly with another one to gain some traction. Took a poor Espanol team that were bottom 3 and led them to mid table security, drawing 0-0 with Barca then beating them 2-1 at new camp for the first time in nearly 30 years. The following year he exceeded expectations and finished mid table again. Southampton In his first full season at Southampton, Pochettino led the team to an eighth-placed finish, their highest league position since 2002–03, while also recording their highest points tally since the Premier League began in 1992–93.[35] He wasn't a big name but his stock was on the rise and he was being praised as one of the best young managers around by the time he joined Spurs at 42. Not really comparitive to a bloke that's 50 and not had one full season in football as a manager.

Not a name that players are gagging to go and play for which is the point. His career was essentially getting two teams to midtable at that point. Tony Pulis has done that, but I doubt people on here class him as a "name". Maguire was full of praise for Shakey and the clubs vision... Stoke were in for him, Hughes has played for some of the biggest clubs in the world, managed a nataional team, managed Man city. He was a name at one point, he's probably not classed as that any more because he's at Stoke. But Maguire chose us... or he just followed the money like most players do.

It's not just about being a big name though is it, Footballing philosophy comes in to play, Potcherinho was similar to Eddie Howe at the time he got the Spurs job, playing for managers that play good football is an attractive proppestion to potential signings. Craig Shakespeare can't really be judged on that due to the amount of games his managed.

And if a bid gets accepted he'll have the chance to put his ideas across to people, but we're digressing from the point which was being a name doesn't really matter, or is at least massively overplayed. Picking good players is what matters, see Sven / Pearson.
Nickbluefox Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 What's this cr@p from The Sun? "Leicester City could let Kasper Schmeichel exit for Manchester United if they can tie up a deal for Croatia keeper Lovre Kalinic" Cant see it myself, but if KS wants to go?I've no idea wot this keeper's like, but he'd better be decent if the above is true!

It's obvious really. The Sun see we've apparently made a big bid for a goalkeeper, meaning they've just jumped to the fact Schmeichel might leave because of it. It's probably all bollocks.

Maguire and his representations will have asked those who've been coached by him what's he like.He will have asked the same question of Mark Hughes and with his record dealing with players, it's clearer why Maguire prefers us.

Or maybe wages and incentives, or to play with a team of players that had won the league was an attractive proposal

I'm just saying people underestimate how much talking between players goes on when considering joining a club.

Merging Cultures Posted 5 July 2017 Posted 5 July 2017 Just watched a YouTube video of his saves. In my opinion, he spills the ball in the 6 yard box, usually right at an attacker's feet. Maybe we can develop him further, but not for the prices that are being written about.

Hope it's not true but you never know, the bid for the Genk goalie may have legs Delete this post immediately and etch the conversation with aforementioned Dr from your mind.

Hope it's not true but you never know, the bid for the Genk goalie may have legs I'm guessing he had you dosed up on some pretty potent stuff if you heard £50m. Only keepers in the world maybe worth that are Donnarumma if he keeps on developing over the next few years and de Gea just because United have him and Real Madrid want him. I love Kasper but £50m is Man City near young English 'talent' money, its like another dimension

Even at £22m but given that Everton were/are in the running it'll end up being higher than that. Or it'll end up not getting him at all (note that I'd rather Kasper stay and we don't sign this guy). Agreed ?
