They're not exactly thick on the ground though - I'd back the manager to develop one of the young centre halfs we have. Someone like Sokratis isn't really a step up on Mustafi. Wouldn't mind the young Turkish lad from Freiburg and a more experienced campaigner (Jonny Evans? )
Apparently the leadership group (not the cheating Aussie won) were impressed when he showed up for his interview with dossier of all the players, their strengths, weaknesses and how he will improve them.
Man be doing his homework innit
Must be pleased with Chambers, Rob and Greek Marv.
From what I’ve read of him he should be more than capable of reviving the likes of Xhaka, Ramsey and Bellerin.
Not so sure about Mustafi...that project might be one to file away in the Too Difficult draw
