Marcelino...very underwhelming.
I was hyped for him but his track record has been disastrous.

Does Argentinian count as Spanish12 non-English speaking Spaniards if Raul gets his way
If it's Marcelino the board can go and **** themselves, are we just hiring him because he's mates with Raul? Or are we just going for the cheapest option? Or both?
I'm more than willing to include all South Americans so that Edu has a chance of getting his mates in tooDoes Argentinian count as Spanish
Marcelino took charge of Valencia when they were dumpster fire and did a great job at turning them around...... it's much harder to finish 4th with a team that once had Mustafi as a standout player than you think. Not clear to me why fans are complaining about him, sure he's in many ways a budget Simeone but ATM the club is not in the position to pick and choose. Someone like Marcelino is much more likely to get us a 4th place finish than Arteta would.
Who really could the 12 be?
-Poch (ungettable)
-Rodgers (ungettable)
-Nuno (any good)
-Arteta (unknown could be Pep or Pardew)
-Vieira ( hasnt set world alight)
-Allegri ( proven in a one team league, english lacking)
-Ancelotti ( at Napoli, maybe past best?)
-Howe ( young, proven to a degree, but can he coach egos? Could be Moyes x2.
-Benitez (again uninspiring)
-marcelino (has been a manager for 20 years. Has managed all levels in Spain however has never been considered for Real or Barca? Why?)
Others could be Laurent Blanc who hasnt taken a manager job since PSG. Cant say I know what hes been doing but 3 years break? You have to wonder.
These guys from South America I would claim to know too much about but again. Why haven't they came to Europe sooner? They could be just starting out I haven't a clue about them however if they have been managing for 4-5 years or more you would have thought a move to Spain or Portugal may have came about.
Does he have a philosophy? Is he another chameleon bollocks?Marcelino took charge of Valencia when they were dumpster fire and did a great job at turning them around...... it's much harder to finish 4th with a team that once had Mustafi as a standout player than you think.

Gio van Bronckhorst ticks alot of boxes... decent record, Arsenal link, potential Raul link from Barca & a free agent.Who really could the 12 be?

He is being linked to City & their sister clubs quite a bit at the mo... not sure if they signed him up to anything.
We should have signed Soyuncu but we bottled it as usual.It's not just the money. Its do they want to come. Everyone thinks it's just here Leicester there 15m we are taking Rodgers.
Oh and by the way heres another 60m we will take Pereria and Soyuncu too.

Arsenal has to adapt their whole ideas.
Wenger tried to play tiki taki football for years and teams bullied us of the park. He tried to have Denilson and co playing like Xavi.
Now we are trying all this playing out from the back and building from the back however none of our defenders are good enough for it. 0. Luiz is slow and ponderous when he gets the ball. Sokratis/Chambers and Bellerin and probably Tierney aren't quick enough to have their body position right to receive the ball and pass it in one movement.
Time to change trying to play beautiful football badly and playing ugly football effectively.
It's sad when you want defenders to be playmakers over being defenders.
