Morning,

With the transfer window closing, and everyone crying out for a RW and/or a ST, I can't see anyone available of the quality people are expecting and furthermore if Reus and Greizmann were available would they even want to join and play for a such a methodical manager who stifles their attacking talents? Ala Di Maria?

It's a change in style that's needed, and I'm afraid if LVG doesn't change he won't be here next year. Does he seriously believe himself when he says 'we created lots of chances blah blah' it's dreadful to watch us attack sometimes.

I honestly think if a player is to come in on deadline day it will be a keeper and I wouldn't hold my breath.

Agree.

The main obstacle for a world class play to come is not about money. It is more like "vision, "philosophy", emotional connection of the manager/club to the player". LVG has lots rumours against it.

On the other hand, if some world class player could finally join, his ability can be castrated by "the philosophy" again. LVG has records with it.

LVG maybe brought up the best of Young, Luke Shaw, Smalling and Fellaini. But they are helpless during poor team performances caused by lacking of other factors to win a game, which we've talked a lot here.

I can only hope for a shorter "process" to come for his deed of redemption or his sacking.

You could also add to the argument, the numerous players he's fallen out with over the years!

The stunt that had restrained here unleashed elsewhere.

Now it's getting clear to me. If you were Angel or Pedro, to know LVG's strictly safe possession philosophy, how can you play with good mood? Would you stay or join?
