leicesterseddon Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 The Pereira signing would seem to indicate the board are sticking with Puel then. I'm not 100% how I feel tbh. Up until the last few games I was very much of the view that we should keep him, but I'll admit by the Palace game I'd lost faith. Easy to look at the Arsenal and Spurs games and see the "potential" - but Arsenal had 10 men for most of the game, and Spurs was in any case a defeat. Aside from that the tail-end of the season was woeful, more indicative of a relegation battle next season than a push on the top six. Let's hope with his own squad the vision looks a bit more like reality! 4

Can someone please explain this to me ? i don’t understand what difference it makes the player claims that Puel is instrumental in convincing him to come but we are free to hire and fire managers, irrespective of the players contracted to us. All it shows Is that Puel is the manager whilst the deal is being sorted out (which will have been over quite a few months). There won’t be a manager retention clause! Any manager would be delighted to have pereira.

I'm sure he claimed he could go another 2 years at the top level I remember reading a while ago that he was feeling the physical strain this last season. He may still want to play another full season however. I'd be surprised if Puel picks him though: Pereira, Maguire and Chilwell are all happy on the ball. Wes sticks out like a sour thumb in that group. If Puel can wrestle the captaincy away from him I'd be dumbfounded if he's still in the starting lineup providing Drag stays or we buy another centre half.

Stevosevic Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 11 minutes ago, The Doctor said: Eh, pearson convinced fuchs to sign and left about a week later. Bit different. Fuchs didn't know Pearson. This guy knows Puel and that was a factor in him signing. It does suggest Puel is staying. 1
splinterdream Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 I think this transfer window is massive, we need to spend big, for me judging on past performance Puel wasn't the man to do this but if the owners trust him they must no what he plans to do and that's fine and I'll support that
Popular Post Dan Posted 20 May 2018 Popular Post Posted 20 May 2018 This Ricardo Pereira signing has impressed me. There's method in the madness. Puel was the one demanding we got it done quickly for reasons that could save us a lot of money, as well as potentially missing out on him altogether. That's good management. I also think he could completely change the way we attack. Do people really think we're going to struggle at breaking down these weaker sides with proper attacking full backs in the side as opposed to the likes of Simpson and Fuchs? I think Puel made a lot of errors - and ultimately demanded a bit too much from players who just aren't quite capable of what he wants. But if he can get signings like Ricardo in then I'm happy to see him given time. I'm even more sure Benitez and Silva won't come here now and I don't really see any obvious alternatives. Not confidently saying it but I'm prepared to give him a chance. 17 1
