Gonna take the other side of this. Nunes was not good at wolves and his numbers have always been rubbish.
-
I am slightly concerned our talent ID is rapidly deteriorating.
-
Yeah he was a pretty obvious overpay at this point. Having no hedge is obscene.
-
Yeah v possible this is a de facto firing

FWIW re Alli. Alderweireld and Son obviously huge hits. The others, less so. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/09/tottenham-head-of-recruitment-paul-mitchell-quits-nightmare

Um, probably nothing? I believe our situation will get worse when the final year of Ashley disappears from the three-year accounting period
-
I appreciate the faith. I hope you're right, I'm wrong.
-
I think this is conflating the elation of non-Ashley operating board plus probably some luck. Staveley is unlikely a great operator. I can't speak for most senior appointees or their influence, but the only one of which I share domain expertise they messed up. It's probably not that much different from most clubs.
-
They've clearly fucked up and deserve criticism. Nobody made us spend >100mm on Tonali and Barnes last summer.
-
He might be, with injuries, post-peak. He's never been a good finisher though.
-
He had an all-time terrible finishing season last year and underperformed his expected goals like nobody else.
-
He's really a striker fwiw. He gives a lot of good goalscoring but not much else. He only made like 500 passes for West Ham in open play last season or something, despite playing 33.5 90s.

Wilson is 32, has had two ACLs and has 1 year left on his contract. His numbers are still excellent, but I can’t see a PL club giving him more than a 2 (maybe 3) year deal, so his book cost would be huge at anything other than a nominal fee.
-
This ain’t true. Lots of reservations about his ceiling and price. Nowhere near as unanimous as when we bought Bruno, for example.
-
This is mostly for accounting purposes. Digne’s contract will be very hard to sell.
-
-
It's very difficult, without asking him, to know what he's responsible for. There were some very good (Upamecano, Konate) and very bad (Burke, Augustin, Bruma) signings at RBL when he was their chief scout.
-
By all accounts he is pretty uncomfortable on the ball.
-
This is just engagement farming. Not entirely convinced he even supports them.
-
Unless I'm missing something, I don't see why Brentford, after likely losing Toney, would be willing sellers. For the money and with our ambitions + restrictions, (I'm guessing) 40m should get us some option on a potentially elite player, which I don't think (?) is him.
-
It’s really an expression for the low probability of repeating the same recruiting, especially given lack of market depth, big demand for 6s and our existing lack of progressive passers. The probability of having a successful outcome selling him is not 0, but the price required for it to be bigger than 0.5 is, imo, extremely big.
