Jagten

Yeah that might turn out to be an intractable problem

I hope so, but I am not confident. That's really bad.

50m+ on this guy was easily our riskiest signing and I have seen nothing to convince me otherwise sadly

He's a slightly above average premier league winger. Sometimes he will be good, sometimes he will be bad.

💀

this is going quite badly

You can't take Bruno out of this side and expect us to create much

Literally doesn't count for PSR. WTF

Unconditional on the prices, maybe. Given the prices, I would go like Elanga - 4.5/10 Ramsdale - 6/10 Thiaw - 5/10 Ramsey - 7/10 Woltemade - 8/10 Wissa - 6/10

Our competition was Como.

Not really

Apart from Woltemade we haven’t brought in any high ceilings and we lost our world class player. Mostly mid spending of a lot of money

That's still a failure from the club, but I of course agree.

You're still obfuscating the major skill issues here, which is why it was handled badly

You're missing the 5 where we identify and purchase suitable replacements, early, at good prices, to give ourselves maximum leverage.

Isak probably told us he wanted to leave in May and we knew Wilson was likely leaving before that. We overpaid for our replacements on the 30th of August and the 1st of September after a string of humiliating public rejections. I don't think those were the only options.

Woltemade and Wissa are good, if too much. Ramsey I am optimistic on and price was fine. Thiaw and Elanga make me most nervous. I don't think we've extracted value anywhere and the management has been bad-to-humiliating. 5, maybe.

Yep. Most appointments have just been outsourced to mediocre executive search firms. I spoke to our head of data 18months ago and the bloke is nice but holy shit bad

He for sure won a power struggle against Mitchell (not a Mitchell fan fwiw)

No sporting director and his nephew leading on recruitment is a level of control he should not have.

Eddie’s influence has clearly grown

If we counter this with a crazy overpay for JSL or Wissa

Right. What have we gained? Absolute morons

Total fucking cuckoldry
