Monreal just signed a new contract. We deserved. Solid player and happy to see him get some credit.

What he had at Barcelona was something special and although he didnt spend millions, he had homegrown world class players and his coaching did the rest. We are not that far off IMO, we need a world class striker and a proper CM to really push on and with Guardiola at the helm we'd be one of the big boys in Europe. We have plenty of money in the bank, we have about 70% of the side already built, things are definitely not that bad.
I think we need more than a striker and CM to be honest. I don't think Kos and Merts have that long left as first choice CB's. We'll need replacements soon. Flamini and Arteta have nothing left after this season so we need some DM cover. I'm not sure what Wenger has planned for the new kid from Egypt. I also think the writings on the wall for Theo and Welbeck. I can't see a new manager persevering with them as first team options.
Would prefer Simeone to Guardiola personally, couldn't stand having to watch that tippy tappy sh*t. Be strange if he left Bayern without winnng the CL, his predecessor managed it.
If Kroenke really wants to maximise his asset he should go after Pep right away. having Pep as your manager could easily add 500m to the asking proce.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
I am still not sold on Pep.. and frankly I'd take a Koeman, Simeone, Klopp or an up and coming manager over him any day.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I wouldn't turn down Pep at all but Slaven Bilic I like the look of a lot. But something tells me he'd have principles and wouldn't quit West Ham for Arsenal.
