Hopefully he brings De Jong and De Ligt with him :cloud9:

Now I loved Overmars (I particularly loved the way he looked as though a heavy weight had been dropped on him and he'd been vertically compressed by about six inches), but I don't remember him being very technical.Quote:

He used to just kick it behind the defender and then pump his wee legs at tremendous speed until he was in behind before shooting, didn't he? That's what I mostly remember, anyway. Marvellous, of course, but hardly 'technical'.Quote:

I must say that I'm not entirely au fait with the roles & responsibilities of a Technical Director. However, I am convinced that Marc will do a tremendous job of all he is asked to do by Raul (presumably he reports to Raul Sanhelli, anyway?).Quote:

I don't really know who any of these people are, r. I had no idea this Maslinshat chap was even employed by us until he wasn't.Quote:

He’ll do well to negotiate a loan deal for those two.Quote:

I've just looked up a picture of him and wouldn't put it past him to hump a small boy in a tent, sw.Quote:

He actually introduced himself to me in this way.

Does that make you the Technical Director, SW? Do you have a business card I could take?Quote:

Yes. You are both Dubliners, though, so I suppose I shouldn't be entirely surprised.Quote:

Good luck to him at Bayern or wherever he’s off too.
