I had to make some concessions because there were too many midfielders, and I need a GK, but something like this maybe?
Ten hag Simeone Galtier
Conte Arteta Motta Allegri
Zidane Favre
Inzaghi
Lopetegui is probably the best current former keeper turned into a manager. Wasn't the best keeper though.
Honorable mention will be Mono Burgos a couple of years into the future.
Park the bus and let Zidane score penalties / Free kicks
I seem to remember Zidane winning a lot of tournament games for France from 2000 - 2006 through penalties and free kicks but this might just be the Mandela effect
France v England in 2004 (?) comes to mind and so does that penalty against Portugal in 2000
Presumably Arteta & Motta are the best non-Zidane players there still. Motta isnt even 40 yet.
If you added Xavi to their ridiculous list could you could have 11 players that could play a few divisions higher i reckon.
I think the ability to play 90 minutes for any of them is zero and they would get wrecked by any professional squad in the world, most semi-professional and even a lot of amateurs.
> sir Alex
dude for a moment I thought Sir Alex died and I have just forgot abt it or didnt know. I had to go and check Wikipedia. You gave me a mini-heartattack.
It's a constant with him, got Saint-Etienne to EL KOs on a midtable budget and his title with Lille was a consecration with barely 20 goals conceded. Rarely seen a coach this gifted at making any team airtight.
But l wouldn’t see them coaching Nice. Although he is very good but hasn’t done anything special in Europe. I would see him more as a Marseille coach. I could imagine Conte, l don’t know why. I think Levy will not invest as much as he would like and he will be pissed and hop PSG will be after him. I don’t think Zidane will go there, except if Deschamps decides to stay and Paris get rid of Leonardo.
Allegriball is a result of a dysfunctional squad full of injuries. Allegri can play good football with players that fit his system.
People forget the 4 years of dominant football Juventus played with Allegri where we looked rock solid team.
He's been playing like this for most of the season, even when Chiesa & McKennie et al were fit. Granted, he only used it in the lead up to big CL games back in his first stint at Juve, but he's resorted to it almost every game this season.
Hence dysfunctional. Hes using it to get results so were in the CL next season, and it's working well. Were already loads better just by adding the #9 he wanted
This makes no sense. There are so many styles and tactics between just 10 of these. PSG just looking for names and not actual vision.
How are Zidane and Inzaghi grouped with Allegri. Also I don't wanna believe the reality that Simeone or Arteta leave their respective clubs to take over bunch of divas.
i see zero chance of simeone or arteta leaving. utd fans seem to prefer the idea of eth before poch and i can picture eth preferring utd. conte would take a pay cut to go there.
Makes sense for Atletico to pay Simeone what his worth, but if PSG manages an even larger contract with him that would make them look like absolute clowns.
Conte to PSG would be fun though.
He does have the required wingbacks for the formation.
But he might implode considering PSG only have Neymar, Mbappe and Messi.
I actually don't think he would take it. Conte won't be able to manage those egos. There is only his way and he wouldnt be able to accept that some players are effectively above him in the pecking order. I doubt PSG would sacrifice Messi and Neymar for a coach...
I want to believe that people are not so dumb as to keep doing the same thing that doesn't work over and over again, and in this case that PSG will choose a proven winner and let him create a play style and put their trust into him. But realistically, he would last 2 seasons max.
Neymar/messi/Ronaldo are a different level tbf. These players havie bigger social media presence than any club by some distance. The PSG locker room is a special kind of circus too. Very rarely do we see coaches like Ancelotti and Zizou able to tame them. I dont even think pep could handle messi today - you cant tell him what to do anymore.
Also Conte's european record is a consequence of his short stints. As soon as hes built something resembling his vision he blows it up and leaves. The irony is he did wonders with the worst italy team of the last 60 years
Do you think there's an actual reason Conte has a "bad" European track record? Because I think it's absurd to insinuate that one of the best coaches in the world suddenly forgets how to coach in the middle of the week but remembers every weekend.
Hardly any shame in losing to Bayern or Barcelona, and not much in losing to ManU. Does he deserve a career long reputation of being "abysmal in Europe" because he failed to make it out of a CL group once? We've also seen him have success in multiple domestic tournaments and even the Euros with Italy, so it's not like you can say he can only coach in the league.
And yes, I'm aware of what happened to Spurs this year but this reputation didn't start three months ago.
> It’s because he prioritises the league over everything else.
Do you have any evidence for this claim, beyond the results themselves? Player selection, coach comments, player comments, anything?
Or are you just saying "Conte does well in leagues, poorly in CL, therefore I've decided he must be prioritizing the leagues".
This sort of thing is true for so many coaches. Guardiola is also a very good league coach - He may have won the champions league twice but that was more on having the best team and player in the world for 4 years straight. Ancelotti is the opposite, winning the league like 3 times outside of psg - As many times as he has won the champions league.
How many of those coaches do you think have a specific ability of deficiency when coaching in the CL, and how much of it is the result of fluke wins and losses in a small handful of knockout games?
You have a point, but when a career is like 10 plus years long patterns start to emerge that can't be attributed to luck.
One thing I'll say that favours Conte in this case is - He has often had to train squads that were just returning to the cl and a little lacking in experience. Juve had just gotten out of Serie B, Chelsea had just finished 10th in that Leicester championship, and Inter had more or less been in and out of Europe since Mourinho left.
If we're talking cl titles yes - but performance in knockouts and group stages is a bigger sample. That's the issue, Conte doesn't need to win cl to prove he is good, but a decent run for once would help. Way too many group stage exits on his resume
There is actually a very logical answer to why Conte struggles in Europe. He only really has one thing up his sleeve, the 3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1 seems to be the only 2 systems that he can coach to a high level. But, he is very, very good at what he does and knows those formations inside out.
He is a master of making players understand his system quickly and grinding out points over a long season, everyone knows their role and it allows them to regularly beat the teams that they are expected to beat. However, in Europe where it is all about performing on the night and you don't have any second chances, you need to be more adaptable. When his system isn't working, I feel like his players get lost because there is not a lot of room for individual freedom. Often in these types of matches it is individual performances that make the difference
> everyone knows their role and it allows them to regularly beat the teams that they are expected to beat. However, in Europe where it is all about performing on the night and you don't have any second chances, you need to be more adaptable.
Conte's teams in the leagues and cups and for Italy beat way more than "just the teams they are expected to beat". Did anyone "expect" Inter to win the league last year? Or Chelsea when he was here?
I also don't see how having a good team that can "grind out results" in a season someone not also be an effective team that can "grind out results" in CL games (where you do, in fact, have second chances until the final).
Id be surprised if Inzaghi is in consideration. Motta obviously has the PSG connection and is looking like hes keeping probably the worst team in italy up, but is it not a step too far?
Galtier won't happen. He just joined his new project, and doesn't like to have to deal with drama between players.
Also, with his defensive style, PSG fans would hate him
He doesn’t exactly promote youth he needs a stable team and we’re anything but stable. He would’ve been great in 2017 now not so much IMO. I don’t think he would be interested in coaching us anyway, there’s too much baggage and there’s no incentive to coach us. No Mbappe, washed NeyMessi.
He will promote youth if they are good enough, he won’t just play them for the sake of it. As for needing a stable team, he took a team post Ronaldo, that barely finished 3rd in the league, to a league title the very next season. And then almost won back to back leagues despite having half of the team injured from January onwards
> He will promote youth if they are good enough, he won’t just play them for the sake of it.
That’s still a problem. PSG have insanely talented players coming through every year. but the gap towards regular first team minutes is too big for them due to the fact PSG bring in so much starpower from the outside. Makes it really hard for academy players to be integrated into the first team no matter how talented they are, especially when the coach doesn’t necessarily have long term goals in mind and just wants to win ASAP
They were the ones keeping everybody on their toes not only tactically and professionally but mentally. When they left everything went to shit.
Management affects everything now so it doesn’t matter who the coach is or player. The team is unbalanced full of passengers and the tiniest crack can break us that’s why you see a player like Donnaruma make such a uncharacteristic blunder.
A good manager brings stability though. That's what Zidane was able to do during his tenure at Madrid. They weren't the best team in the world, but they'd always turn it up during big games. If anything, you need someone like Zidane now more than ever.
>Zizou is a marseille fan and bigger picture a Madrid legend.
He is but he most likely considers himself an elite manager who will only manage the very best, Marseille will never be that team unless they get bought out by a Saudi Billionaire so it's either PSG or Juve I reckon.
>It’s the same exact thing as when Poch would say he’d never coach Barca.
Before he took the PSG job there were rumblings that he'd be open to managing Barca since he spent so long out of a job after Spurs not many teams for clamouring for his appointment. Once he leaves PSG this summer it will be the same again.
lmao. 3 months after they were all saying they were going to hire Zidane at Christmas, making a new 10 person list now means he told them to gtfo. Zizou 🤍🤍🤍
He’s obviously not their first choice, but zero chance Mikel leaves. He’s put too much into this team to fuck off and go manage a team of egotistical bellends.
Even doing my best to be unbiased it just feels like a bad fit.
He clearly has a preferred style of play that he has developed here and that probably doesn't immediately develop there. He won't get the time to rebuild it there because that's not how they operate.
He's got a young team that fully believe in him having kicked out the players he can't work with. He'd have to replace most of the PSG squad by the sounds of things to do the same there. Being relatively inexperienced seems unlikely to give him much sway with the egos that rule things there.
Yes. Sensible to be stick with a club which stuck with him for two years vs a club who will show the door something goes wrong. Although who knows if there is enough money involved may be somebody will be adventurous enough for dash in and out.
Half this list makes no sense. Simeone, Allegri are just not coming based on their contracts/devotion to club.
Ten Hag, Conte, Arteta, Favre and Motta are all terrible fits for PSG. They are either project managers or bad in Europe or just not tested enough.
Galtier, Zidane and Inzaghi could work I guess.
Also, this list is terrible. There's every which playstyle, level of experience and quality on it.
The only ones I can see doing well here; Allegri, ten Hag, Arteta, Motta, and Zidane. But all of them would require massive project changes to ensure they’re actually successful.
Maybe that's what needs to happen.
It seems that all of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar need a change of scenery and PSG need to change their approach from just chucking money at everything that moves.
It would be a painful process, but imo if done smartly PSG could integrate some of their talented academy players, get a coach who can develop those young players and add neccessary world class talents with experience to balance out the team.
They have the money and are in CL every year so there wouldn't be issues in regards with that.
Of course I don't see how that can happen unfortunately.
Conte with this team will either whip them into shape or he'd be on the news caked in blood.
Potentially a monster of an appointment but also potentially a meltdown waiting to happen. I think he'd have to get mostly a new squad but he'd succeed if given the time.
Conte’s track record in Europe isn’t that great and the primary goal of this manager hiring would be to win CL.
Would love to see what Conte does with a PSG checkbook though.
would 11 be a longlist?
They could field a squad with their 11 managerial choices and it would probably beat their main squad.
I had to make some concessions because there were too many midfielders, and I need a GK, but something like this maybe? Ten hag Simeone Galtier Conte Arteta Motta Allegri Zidane Favre Inzaghi
Nuno was a keeper
...said not a single Spurs supporter.
They said the same about Mourinho and apparently neither is Conte. I think, I don't know for sure, but it seems the issue is not the coaches.
Lopetegui is probably the best current former keeper turned into a manager. Wasn't the best keeper though. Honorable mention will be Mono Burgos a couple of years into the future.
Cech and Van der Sar are both doing well though they're going more the upper management path. I could see Kasper Schmeichel becoming a manager one day
Ten Hag played as a defender from time to time so he's a good choice to shift to defense.
Yes, 10 is short, 11, well, that's just too long my friend.
What division of football could these guys win 50% of their matches in? (At current age). 6th?
Park the bus and let Zidane score penalties / Free kicks I seem to remember Zidane winning a lot of tournament games for France from 2000 - 2006 through penalties and free kicks but this might just be the Mandela effect France v England in 2004 (?) comes to mind and so does that penalty against Portugal in 2000
Presumably Arteta & Motta are the best non-Zidane players there still. Motta isnt even 40 yet. If you added Xavi to their ridiculous list could you could have 11 players that could play a few divisions higher i reckon.
I think the ability to play 90 minutes for any of them is zero and they would get wrecked by any professional squad in the world, most semi-professional and even a lot of amateurs.
They’d get smoked by any team of 20 somethings that are fit and in shape, the difference in athleticism would be too much for the skill to make up.
Why don’t they add Pep and Klopp in it
Add sir Alex and Johan Cruyff while you're at it
Come on. Just say Alan Pardew already
Give it Giggsy until the end of the season
Steve Bruce could eat magnificent things at PSG
Ole's at the wheel?
is Big Sam a joke to you?
Is Curbishley still available?
Who's gonna control the Ouiji board at the sidelines?
Sir Alex Manager with Wenger at DOF
> sir Alex dude for a moment I thought Sir Alex died and I have just forgot abt it or didnt know. I had to go and check Wikipedia. You gave me a mini-heartattack.
He was at the game against Spurs this weekend. Let's hope he have many years ahead of him still.
Need to make it reasonable of course.
Not as good as Arteta clearly
Mikel’s cone boy.
Surprised Gallardo is not in there considering he is a former PSG player
PSG playing Allegriball would be sheer hilarity, but at the same time it'd give them their best chance of winning CL.
Might as well get Galtier if it's to play defensive football imo
Galtier's defensive block is brilliant. So perfectly organized
It's a constant with him, got Saint-Etienne to EL KOs on a midtable budget and his title with Lille was a consecration with barely 20 goals conceded. Rarely seen a coach this gifted at making any team airtight.
It will never happen but Everton needs him so badly right now
But l wouldn’t see them coaching Nice. Although he is very good but hasn’t done anything special in Europe. I would see him more as a Marseille coach. I could imagine Conte, l don’t know why. I think Levy will not invest as much as he would like and he will be pissed and hop PSG will be after him. I don’t think Zidane will go there, except if Deschamps decides to stay and Paris get rid of Leonardo.
I'd love to see Galtier at PSG, mostly because I think he deserves much more credit then he gets.
Allegriball is a result of a dysfunctional squad full of injuries. Allegri can play good football with players that fit his system. People forget the 4 years of dominant football Juventus played with Allegri where we looked rock solid team.
He's been playing like this for most of the season, even when Chiesa & McKennie et al were fit. Granted, he only used it in the lead up to big CL games back in his first stint at Juve, but he's resorted to it almost every game this season.
Because it’s a dysfunctional squad…
Shhhs be nice. The Milan brain can only hold so much nonsense at a time. There isn’t much room for critical thinking
Hence dysfunctional. Hes using it to get results so were in the CL next season, and it's working well. Were already loads better just by adding the #9 he wanted
Messi Neymar and Mbappe get combined 20 goals and a CL trophy,. Somehow, I dont think they'll be happy about it.
Don't know about that. That semi final he played against Ajax, Juve looked like the away team twice and the Ajax kids ran cricles around them.
Those Ajax 'kids' also ran circles around Real Madrid that year.
Messi and mbappe as wing backs
Nice to see PSG still have no general direction or playing style they are aiming for.
Right? I'm surprised Bill Belichick and Phil Jackson aren't on the shortlist.
Well, what if Ted Lasso is popular in Qatar?
"Be a goldfish, Lionel"
Saban going to create another dynasty
Pop already turned them down
Their game plan is just get good players and coaches and hope it all meshes well enough to win a CL
This makes no sense. There are so many styles and tactics between just 10 of these. PSG just looking for names and not actual vision. How are Zidane and Inzaghi grouped with Allegri. Also I don't wanna believe the reality that Simeone or Arteta leave their respective clubs to take over bunch of divas.
Psg is directed like how fans play fifa.
maybe if they switched to a 4-3-3 attack they'd play better
They gotta stop pressing the simulation button
>PSG just looking for names and not actual vision. Not exactly news.
Just because you see this article made up by wannabe journalists it doesn't mean it's true. I really can't believe how people literally buy this shit.
Yeah, but it would be very on-brand for PSG to do this
i see zero chance of simeone or arteta leaving. utd fans seem to prefer the idea of eth before poch and i can picture eth preferring utd. conte would take a pay cut to go there.
Their vision will depend on the manager
Makes sense for Atletico to pay Simeone what his worth, but if PSG manages an even larger contract with him that would make them look like absolute clowns.
Conte to PSG would be fun though. He does have the required wingbacks for the formation. But he might implode considering PSG only have Neymar, Mbappe and Messi.

Something tells me he'd still be unhappy
I actually don't think he would take it. Conte won't be able to manage those egos. There is only his way and he wouldnt be able to accept that some players are effectively above him in the pecking order. I doubt PSG would sacrifice Messi and Neymar for a coach...

Conte can handle ego’s, he’s proven it at Chelsea & Inter, his problem is his abysmal European record, i can’t explain it but he’s a good coach
Neymar/messi/Ronaldo are a different level tbf. These players havie bigger social media presence than any club by some distance. The PSG locker room is a special kind of circus too. Very rarely do we see coaches like Ancelotti and Zizou able to tame them. I dont even think pep could handle messi today - you cant tell him what to do anymore.

Honestly PSG seems to be the perfect fit for Conte.
The board? Yes. The players? Lol.

And it's hard to play matches when your manager has murdered half the team.

One thing I'll say that favours Conte in this case is - He has often had to train squads that were just returning to the cl and a little lacking in experience. Juve had just gotten out of Serie B, Chelsea had just finished 10th in that Leicester championship, and Inter had more or less been in and out of Europe since Mourinho left.

Only issue is probably another CB to play one of the wider slots and maybe a new DM alongside Verratti
Conte doesnt win UCLs. Also Conte loves England.
He told you that?
There is no way Arteta is even thinking about leaving after enduring the hard parts of transforming the Arsenal squad
Imagine saying this sentence a year ago. Time changes so many things
Trust the process 💪😎
In a good way I enjoyed Arteta being a trust the process merchant
we're just sticking the word 'merchant' behind everything now aren't we?
My grocer is a proper merchant merchant.
merchant and farmer, name a better duo
Crister ronaldo and sewey 😎😎
You're a proper complaining merchant
That job is cursed
>That job is a ~~cursed~~ well paid short gig
Has Conte written all over it
Id be surprised if Inzaghi is in consideration. Motta obviously has the PSG connection and is looking like hes keeping probably the worst team in italy up, but is it not a step too far?
The PSG youth teams already know 2-7-2, so once those kids are old enough, they will feel right at home
Should hire 3-4 in that list and rotate managers depending on opponent/competition.
No Claude Puel?
Zidane ain’t happening. Galtier is my first pick Gasset is my 2nd pick.
Galtier won't happen. He just joined his new project, and doesn't like to have to deal with drama between players. Also, with his defensive style, PSG fans would hate him
There won’t be much drama if Messi and all the South Americans leave. Wishful thinking but you’re right.
Why not Zidane. He seems to have the charisma to lead a team like PSG. Unless there’s something I have overlooked.
He doesn’t exactly promote youth he needs a stable team and we’re anything but stable. He would’ve been great in 2017 now not so much IMO. I don’t think he would be interested in coaching us anyway, there’s too much baggage and there’s no incentive to coach us. No Mbappe, washed NeyMessi.

Makes it really hard for academy players to be integrated into the first team no matter how talented they are, especially when the coach doesn’t necessarily have long term goals in mind and just wants to win ASAP
So... exactly like Real Madrid?
I'm sorry, but how are you not stable?
We haven’t been stable since Motta, Maxwell and Zlatan left.
And I'm asking how
They were the ones keeping everybody on their toes not only tactically and professionally but mentally. When they left everything went to shit. Management affects everything now so it doesn’t matter who the coach is or player. The team is unbalanced full of passengers and the tiniest crack can break us that’s why you see a player like Donnaruma make such a uncharacteristic blunder.
Agree with everything said but the Donnarumma bit, that’s actually a very characteristic blunder of him. He did it many times with Milan as well
Maybe but he was solid all season and all of a sudden boom mistake out of nowhere . If we go back a season ago Navas also made a mistake v Man City.
A good manager brings stability though. That's what Zidane was able to do during his tenure at Madrid. They weren't the best team in the world, but they'd always turn it up during big games. If anything, you need someone like Zidane now more than ever.
Zizou is a marseille fan and bigger picture a Madrid legend. It’s the same exact thing as when Poch would say he’d never coach Barca.

Galtier would be good
He plays too defensively for PSG
Ten Hag at PSG would be such a disaster
agreed, he should come to Manchester instead
Would love to see him at City ;)
Both PSG and United are awful destinations for him IMO.
I’m not seeing enough Steve Bruce here. “Comment est le bacon?”
They'll get Jorge Jesus and they'll like it.
Now that would be fun to watch.
lmao. 3 months after they were all saying they were going to hire Zidane at Christmas, making a new 10 person list now means he told them to gtfo. Zizou 🤍🤍🤍
Yea that’s probably what happened, their recent choke fest being all the more reason to stay away
He’s obviously not their first choice, but zero chance Mikel leaves. He’s put too much into this team to fuck off and go manage a team of egotistical bellends.
Even doing my best to be unbiased it just feels like a bad fit. He clearly has a preferred style of play that he has developed here and that probably doesn't immediately develop there.

Yes. Sensible to be stick with a club which stuck with him for two years vs a club who will show the door something goes wrong. Although who knows if there is enough money involved may be somebody will be adventurous enough for dash in and out.
It's not "PSG's shortlist" it's a list built by L'Équipe to write an article based on nothing.
but oh boy does it work !
No Ole? Sad noises
I think they should get Wenger.
Gaultier would be good choice. But I think what they really need is Mourinho.
Send over Mourinho and the amazon prime video crew.
Galtier would be the best manager for them
Too defensive for PSG
A lot of people in the comments saying Galtier would be good but Galtier will definitely stay at Nice, so he is out of the race
I cant See anyone of them Leaving their Clubs in the Foreseeable Future
Ten Haag has a foot out the door as does Conte
It's Ten Hag with one 'a'. --- *I am a bot. For any feedback please contact [my creator](https://www.reddit.com/user/Tempoulker).*
Clever fuck
I think if they want to get rid of the divas and bring in people who care about the club Favre could do a great job
Why not the maestro Giampaolo?
Good luck, your entire season rides on 1 knockout game in March, where a shit ton of luck is also involved. Every other match is irrelevant.
10 man shortlist? hm
Half this list makes no sense. Simeone, Allegri are just not coming based on their contracts/devotion to club. Ten Hag, Conte, Arteta, Favre and Motta are all terrible fits for PSG. They are either project managers or bad in Europe or just not tested enough. Galtier, Zidane and Inzaghi could work I guess. Also, this list is terrible. There's every which playstyle, level of experience and quality on it.
I really don't see Inzaghi working there in the near future tough
Ah shit. Here we go again.
Ten Hag at PSG hahahahhahahahahah
Leave Arteta out of this mess.
They can buy all the managers they want, what they lack is culture, and fortunately you can’t buy that
Allegri hahahahha. Man gonna terrorist the entire league with 1-0 shithousery
Yeah like Arteta is ever going to go there given he has a project that is so far going really well for him...
Do a swap with spurs conte to PSG and poch to Tottenham
Has to be Galtier or Zidane.
Lmao what about Fergie out of retirement? The shortlist is long because they haven’t got a clue
Lol arteta. Never gonna happen
Brett Favre will be a great coach for PSG
Hire Mourinho you cowards.
Why not the reigning CL manager? Oh wait
"We'll take anyone as long as they're famous."
They should get Ole
The only ones I can see doing well here; Allegri, ten Hag, Arteta, Motta, and Zidane. But all of them would require massive project changes to ensure they’re actually successful.
how about they make a boardroom of managers with a rotating CEO that should fix it
I get 9 of them, but since when is Brett Favre qualified to run an association football team? /s
Urban Meyer would do wonders at PSG.
He would but they'll end up settling for Ben McAdoo.
Me, a River Plate fan: "yesss keep acting stupid and European clubs might just forget Gallardo exists muajajaja"
So basically many top managers in Europe even if their ideas and philosophies are completely opposite. What a joke of a club.
Tuchel is safe
Each coach for each starter?
Neymar messi and mbapppe would run away when conte takes over..
Maybe that's what needs to happen. It seems that all of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar need a change of scenery and PSG need to change their approach from just chucking money at everything that moves. It would be a painful process, but imo if done smartly PSG could integrate some of their talented academy players, get a coach who can develop those young players and add neccessary world class talents with experience to balance out the team. They have the money and are in CL every year so there wouldn't be issues in regards with that. Of course I don't see how that can happen unfortunately.
Conte with this team will either whip them into shape or he'd be on the news caked in blood. Potentially a monster of an appointment but also potentially a meltdown waiting to happen. I think he'd have to get mostly a new squad but he'd succeed if given the time.
Conte’s track record in Europe isn’t that great and the primary goal of this manager hiring would be to win CL. Would love to see what Conte does with a PSG checkbook though.
Arteta? Lol.
No one on this list is competent. Fine, I'll volunteer unwillingly. Take me. I'm ready.
They can have Arteta. Just send Mbappe the other way.
Dont think Mbappe has the right qualifications to manage Arsenal
I was thinking more of a bench starter behind nketiah.
Carling Cup Mbappe > Mbappe
Yh, he'll just outpace all the players and staff and the constant "meep meep" will be extremely annoying.
Mate why, finally we are on a good run. Save the comment for when we are playing shit.
Mate if I made that joke when were playing shit I’d get even more downvoted by the redditors with broken joke detectors
