Ljungberg and Bould to swap roles :dance: https://www.skysports.com/football/n...staff-overhaul
To be honest, if we were more ruthless we'd have got rid of Bould, he really hasn't worked out, since he joined he's had no impact at all. Would rather we had a higher profile name working with the kids, someone that can inspire them maybe.
Bould was a top player, but not so sure he's been such a good coach. Interesting to see what impact Ljungberg has though.
We're apparently after both Dennis Praet and his Sampdoria team-mate Joachim Anderson for 42m euros.
Praet has said Samp have verbally agreed to let him leave and he was Torreira's midfield partner for a while.
I generally make a point of disagreeing with everything you post on principle but have to say I pretty much agree here.Quote:

Quite honestly he wasn’t that great a player anyway, he was just part of a very good unit.
I don’t know whether he is a poor coach or whether Wenger wouldn’t let him do his job (that excuse is gone now of course) or whether they’re just bad defenders. All of those are probably factors, and maybe they don’t get enough protection from midfield but the number of basic mistakes we make which leads to goals is pathetic.
Even if our defenders aren’t top notch, I’m struggling to believe some of that can’t be corrected.
Bould doesn't actually coach the defenders.Quote:

Bould. :lol:
He's there to put out the cones. I have no doubt he was only kept on to ease the transition after Wenger.
Interesting. I guess because of his playing career we (well, I) assumed his influence might fix some of our defensive issues.Quote:

Putting him in charge of the U23s does not seem like a good move for us or him.
There's no real way of gauging Bould's level of success....and a lot of what is said about him is unverified.
Not especially moved either way though such is the level of sorcery required to get us back into the CL next season / make us competitive.
£88.5m for Hazard plus add ons to go to Real.
