Hi all,
One last update before Christmas begins.
As you can all understand and see by now, Arne Slot is going nowhere. An internal decision has been reached that is giving Arne full backing until next summer (barring a collapse even worse than what we seen previously which most likely won’t happen) . In the last month or two, due diligence was completed on other options but he was never informed they were finding a replacement despite what some sources say.
Additionally, Semenyo has informed all interested clubs that he prefers a move to Anfield, although City’s recent involvement in the matter has complicated things. I still predict he signs for us.
Guehi in January is very, very unlikely. Id be shocked if he left anytime other than on a free next summer.

Thanks for the update. I do hope that still means a CB comes in in January though.

Well all I can say to that, other than thanks for the info VG, is; 'talk about shooting yourself in the foot! ' Happy Christmas Victor to you and yours and enjoy your hols. Thanks for all your sharing! It's very much appreciated!

Now we have put a couple of results together i can see why holding on to Slot makes sense for the short term but do we really want SlotBall as our new identity?
We have still been poor in my opinion and it doesn't fill me with confidence that it would take a collapse WORSE than the previous one (which hasn't been seen for 70+ years) for Hughes and co to react.
Do we still see a CB and an attacker coming in, in Jan?

As I sated previously he's not going anywhere as Palace won't find an alternative and he won't push for it. Semenyo fits our system so much better than others. Wil he want Togo to City and sit on the bench more or come to us and start. City still have to move on a player or two.

We would be insane not to sign a CB in January!

Let’s get behind the team for the rest of the season and see if the performances improve. By end of the season we will know for sure if Slot can transition us into a balanced high performing winning team. Happy Christmas to everyone on here. Hope you all have a relaxing happy time.
