Wrong. The upgrade in style and quality of football from Potter to De Zerbi was huge, sorry but it just was. In his first season in charge De Zerbi's team outscored Potter's previous season by THIRTY goals in the league. Potter was decent, and both managers had their flaws as most do, but the De...

To be fair tickets did start at like £29.95 for the cheap seats. But yeah £60 no matter where you are seems a bit steep.

He's been so open about it that he's obviously trying to do his best to force this move through, which I guess is fair enough, but we need to hold out for the most amount of money we can. No need to be doing a Champions league club a discount.

To be fair, does he ever say ‘he has someone to step in’? That would be pretty impossible to guarantee. It’s more about them having a list of pre researched options, but you never know if any of them will actually want to join.

You'd like to think that if Pascal had made the decision that he wants to leave this summer then he would have informed the club a while ago and we'd then have got a Lallana style announcement so we could say goodbye at the last game.

Looks miserable in the photo they’ve released.

We paid what? Roughly £15m? In Prem costs unfortunately that's back up option money.... Maybe our view of costs can be a bit warped as normally we're going for young cheap players to develop. But for a 26 year old with Serie A experience £15m is back up option money.

Lot of exaggeration on here at how bad he's been. Perfectly decent squad player for me who can play CB, LB, or LCB. He's had some up and down performances, but to be expected when in & out of a new team in a new league.

Yep. Looked confident whenever I saw him at Ipswich. & we certainly shouldnt be strengthening them.

Blimey…. Taking ages!

Absolutely not. The headline for England for more than I can remember, and certainly during Southgate's time, has been 'with these players we should be doing better (and winning things)'. What does that tell you about the manager/coaching? Dont think I need to really say anything more.

He’s on United money and will want to stay near enough that. No chance for us. & for that money I’d want a defender who offers both defensive & offensive qualities.

I’d love Deniz to come back, but I also want him to want to come back. If he really wants to stay in Germany & we get around £15-£20m in the transfer budget then fair enough. An unhappy unmotivated Deniz playing in a tougher league isn’t going to score anywhere near the amount he did last season...

Pretty sure all RDZ said was that he hoped Deniz would be with us next season.

Pointless really looking into timescales of the appointment, & comparing to others. Part of the reason we’ve parted ways with RDZ when we did was to give us this time.
