    Lucas Bergvall

    Good call. You could add the likes of Bentelab and Boateng to that list. I hope he does go on to have a top-level career but if we move him on for a 20-30 mil profit then he will have to succeed at one of the top, top clubs for us to say we missed out on him.

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    True but it appears he was the driving force in putting together the list of 20 desirable attributes for the candidates, plus added to the fact he had previously identified TF as a candidate for the Villa job I think you would have to say that he was probably the main person behind that...

    Cristian Romero

    If he’s re-injured his knee it may be moot discussing his departure this offseason.

    Thanks. I can’t imagine what a tough environment that was for any player, let alone an 18yo playing completely out of position against a team of very experienced top professionals! Was it Mertens he was up against?

    I honestly imagine Levy forcing himself into a negotiation to make sure we got every penny out of the deal!

    It’s interesting as he had Levy constantly looking over his shoulder previously whereas it appears VV has given him more freedom. He failed to get Semenyo done but he did get Solanke who Ange was very keen on. As with most things it’s not nearly as black and white and we make it out to be...

    But he’s such a “class act”….🤬

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    I was right there with you till we closed the three recent deals. If we manage to get two or more top-drawer signings such as Tonali or Fernandes, plus move on some of the current squad for good money, does that change peoples opinions?

    Lucas Bergvall

    I wouldn’t go that far. He exceeded expectations but didn’t run the game or anything close to it. We were backs-against-the-wall and he had a very good game, but it’s easier to play in a low-block for the most part than it is in a really progressive system.

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    This may prove to be a very unpopular post, especially since I have repeatedly called for this guy to be sacked, but here goes anyways… What if the signings we made last summer were primarily driven by Levy (negotiations) and Frank (profiles of players to target) and not Langhe? Add in the...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Tbf I can’t recall a game where Bergvall has made me think “holy s*** what an absolute gem we have on our hands!”. He’s had moments and decent games but nothing that has made me think he is the future of our midfield. Whereas Gray has been rock solid in whichever position he’s shoehorned into...

    That’s 5 quality players for two spots…should be enough for a no-Europe season.

    Luka Vuskovic

    One thing the best managers (Pep, Klopp, Ferguson etc.) all did was let players go if they wanted to leave. If the kid isn’t feeling the love from us, then as long as we get fair market value for him, he can go.

    Archie Gray

    Not even that. Gray is class. He is our future Rice-type player that makes everyone around him better.
