“Genius” Slav takes all the plaudits
You have to agree with every word of The Mirror’s comments on Slaven Bilic and the Euro 2016 tournament.
The paper simply can’t stop singing his praoses and have today explained why our manager’s brilliantly “charasmatic appearances on ITV have been more entertaining than some of the matches he’s been analysing.”
It declare Slav a GENIUS and like ClaretandHugh in a recent blog believe his handling of the speculation surrounding Dimi Payet’s future has been supreme.”
We said that his decision to send him a text telling him he was the best player at the tournament was masterly man management. Now the Mirror says:” Bilic would have every right to feel concerned about Dimitri Payet right now.
The Hammers’ star player has been fantastic for France – so much so, he’s being linked with a move to some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
So, how has Bilic responded to this speculation? By taking full advantage of his regular TV appearances.
Bilic has clearly realised he needs to show his top man some SERIOUS love if has any chance of keeping him. That has to be why he is looking offer praise at any and every opportunity.
Even when Payet is in no way involved or relevant to what he’s talking about, Bilic has found a way to big him up.”
Slav is far more than a man manager – he would be a leader of men in any walk of life and even were we to lose Dimi – WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE WILL HAPPEN – Slav would sort it.
Our best manager in years and years and years.
Forza Roma (Translation)
Pereyra towards West Ham. The Bianconeri also like Rome and Naples
12 million euro offer from West Ham for Juventus midfielder who is also in the sights of the Giallorossi and Neapolitan
In addition to Rome and Naples, Pereyra, handyman Juventus midfielder, also liked by West Ham and Zenit. The player almost certainly will be sold, as reported by Tuttosport, and Juventus has also fixed the price: 15 million euro. At the moment the only offer that has arrived at Juventus was one of West Ham, amounting to 12 million euro. The other clubs involved are at the window waiting to see how you put the question, and if, above all, Juventus will lower its claims.
