Er... pretty much, mate!

Where've you been?

We don't have 'managers' we have 'head coaches' and have done since Redknapp left.
And whilst they have input, they don't do deals, Levy does, Baldini does, 'the committee' (mysterious as ever) does the transfer work. That's why it irritates me when you get a Pochettino press conference and they just ask him about transfers: it's pointless, he's only slightly influential in that department.

Was the same under Harry, and before under Jol, Ramos, Santini.

His boy looked on in wonder and asked in which direction did the pig go?
Between you, in bits and bobs, you got it.

His boy looked on in wonder - awe, son = Dawson

and asked in which direction did the pig go? = West, Ham

Well done.

As for the accuracy of it, well, we'll have to wait and see :D

Sure. But the point is manager isn't even a job title any more.

Oh yeah I totally agree, just wish the chairman would keep his beak out and let the head coach build a team of players he wants, we wouldn't have this merry go round of head coaches, in fact the demise of the football manager were he has no control of players purchase within his budget is the problem.

Umtiti would be a fantastic signing to cover between LCB and LB. A back line of Walker/Naughton Dier/Fazio Vert/Umtiti Davies/Rose would be decent.

Yes what we deffo need is to bloat our squad with more cover/average players.

Fazio/Umtiti certainly aren't average. Also by placing the current starters as back up isn't average in the slightest. We can't just change our full back line in one window and replace all the cover players.

Aren't we meant to be signing Fazio today according to several reports? Seems like everyone is throwing as much shit at the wall and hoping some sticks. I'm not getting my hopes up until deadline day, but that seems so far away :(

trix on samuel umtiti:
Been told we are interested. This has come from my mate via an agent, but not one of the regular ones so salt required.
He is young, but he certainly fits the profile of ball playing CB we seem to be looking at.

Also a decent LB option if ever needed

I'd be choked, if after nearly 10 years of loyal service we sent Dawson to West Ham, fucking choked I tell you
