I reckon the Sporting Director at the best club in the world at sourcing talent would have a few connections that he can take to a new club to elevate them to the very top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Just now, Skeletor said: Problem is, its easy to look at Ashworth at Brighton, Pedro Braz at Benfica and say "They sell players for huge fees and another just comes along to replace them". That's the whole club structure at the end of the day. We're only getting one moving part of that. It’s the finding exciting young players for relatively cheap prices im hoping for. All 3 linked have a reputation for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A director of football doesn’t necessarily have any input into player identification. They’re likely involved in negotiation, but they’re not scouts ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all moot because it’s unlikely to happen but if the club want to be the very best, why not hire the very best if you have the chance to do so?

I didn’t say selling our best players. I was talking about buying young players at reasonable prices with a view to making a profit on them. I don’t think we’re about to sell Isak. I could easily see us sell Minteh if someone bids £20m. This is no different from what Man City and Chelsea do already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no different from what Man City and Chelsea do already. I can't be bothered to look at the past posts but you have hinted at us selling Bruno and/or Isack a load of times. This is not happening. I know you get yourself all wound up about FFP/Sustainability but we have a mountain of accountants and lawyers to absolutely blow Masters and his followers out the water. Get behind this team and stop moaning or expecting the worst. We are on the move! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining about FFP has nowt to do with supporting the club tbf Rod. Masters and the PL have boxed us in and I’ve seen nothing at all about an army of lawyers to date - we’ve basically ticked off every regulation which boxes us in.
