Lush Vlad Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 53 minutes ago, Menace said: Apparently he was involved in signing Hojlund from Sturm Graz for Atalanta. I suspect we're going to go the analytics route rather than just punt EPL players each window. Analytics route and not over-paying for Prem players. That’s good. Rasmus Hojlund. That’s bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted July 22, 2025 Share Posted July 22, 2025 (edited) Not a single signing with Suds at the club. Maybe he is the problem. Edited July 22, 2025 by David Edgar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love for us to turn into a steroid version of those well run clubs that understand the value of buying and selling well. It’s the only way we’ll end up challenging for titles anytime soon.

As one of the most vocal advocates of having some structure in place where the manager is provided with a list of targets I think your comment isn't fair. Eddie and the work he has done both with the team and in the market has been second to none. He's not perfect and obviously won't be able to get everything right but his hit rate is much higher than those who are at clubs with a model I advocate. Ultimately all of us need be flexible and trust each other a bit more, obviously one of Mitchell in particular bit flaws was he took an apparent adverserial approach which damaged any potential trust from the off.

He has been excellent, however there seems to be a growing contingent who view anyone new or any changes above him with suspicion. The list of transfer targets this summer and last show that we need to get a grip of the situation. This appointment seems to be a good start. Hopefully the manager agrees.

I see your point but id suggest you withhold an initial judgement until the window closes. As fans we love to complain about missing out on targets etc, but we'd be as annoyed if we didn't go in for these players in the first place. I remember being very critical of the window where we got Tino Sandro etc but with the benefit of hindsight I'd argue it's our most successful one.
