Magooder 40 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Rumours that Lambert has walked out of Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites
Magooder 40 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 As for the Rodgers situation... I think he'll be exposed a bit at Liverpool. He was lucky to have a very solid foundation to build on at Swansea. Not saying he didn't do an excellent job but he certainly didn't get the ball rolling for their current brand of football. Swansea have had one good season in the Premier League.. Phil Brown, Owen Coyle, both were hailed as bright upcoming managers after the way they had Hull and Burnley doing in the Premiership. It's a big gamble by Liverpool but you can't blame Rodgers for taking such a huge job. Martinez would have been a better appointment imo. Now, Swansea have the tough job of appointing a manager that buys into their current brand of football and will continue it on. That's why they need to look abroad, and I can't think of anyone better than Luis Enrique who is available on a free. Did brilliant with Barcelona B and was crucial in bringing through current youngsters like Isaac Cuenca. Didn't have the best of times at Roma but still had them playing some wonderful football and they finished the season with the second highest average possession, just behind champions Juventus. I don't see why he wouldn't take the Swansea job to be honest. Mid-table Premier League side that arguably play the best football in the league. It's the sort of move he needs imo.

Martinez is who started off the whole footballing philosophy at Swansea before he moved to Wigan, then Sousa built on it. Rodgers has just had to keep the wave going, not an easy thing to do but compared to Martinez kicking it all off... Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Wigan stuck with Martinez early in the season when they couldn't buy a win, and not only did he repay that faith by keeping them in the PL, he didn't immediately jump ship when a "bigger" club came calling. That's nice to see. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroG 7 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah it's great to see. They're the closest club to where I live and I go to some of the games with my housemates, it's pretty obvious that the fans and the players love Martinez and he loves the club even when they're going through a bad patch.

Neverbefore 10,940 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ronaldinho just released on a free transfer. Will be interesting to see if anyone in Europe will take a risk on him. Link to post Share on other sites
Magooder 40 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 It will be interesting. I can see a possible return to big-spending PSG on the cards for Ronaldinho. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,940 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Chelsea are gonna have a ridiculous wealth of talent going forward next season. They need to sort out their core as well, the likes of Mikel and to a lesser extent Essien and Lampard aren't gonna cut it in a title chasing side this year. Think they'll need to do a bit of work on their defence as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Agree. Unless Essien can get back to his best Chelsea could really do with a world class defensive midfielder and some cover in defense. A player like De Rossi or even bringing back Lass would certainly improve their team. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroDownSouth 60 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ronaldinho wouldn't go to OM, he used to play for PSG so they're probably favourites. Link to post Share on other sites
