Edu is leaving
Claudius looks like a bit of a wet ham - is he any good?
He looks like a lovechild of Sven Mislintat and Arne Slot.
His managerial appointments has been disastrous.
Signings wise he made a few interesting ones for a mid table club.
Rosicky is interesting. Since going back to Sparta he has utterly transformed the club and they are even competitive in UCL now after going on a winless run of no trophies previously. He always seem extremely intelligent.
Clrnc yeah, wouldn't mind Rosicky as it sounds like he's been doing a great job at Sparta.
Would be interesting if Mertesacker was picked. Imagine it would indicate a distinct change in regards to recruitment.
Rosicky can be the first injury prone director in football.
Tam Ten Hag with a rug...
Would be up for appointing Lil Mozart
Digging more into Tim Steiden
17-19 he was DOF at Werder, made 0 interesting signings and mostly flops
19-22 he was head of Scouting at Bayer, discovered Ezequiel Palacios for 21m, Moussa Diaby for 15m, Tapsoba for 18m (real find), Schick for 26m, Frimpong 11m, Hincapie 6.3m, Adli 15m... etc. Many good signings that's still there and key for Bayer.
Went to West Ham, tried to turn them continental by going for a Spanish coach, making a lot of foreign signings instead of british ones (Kudus, Alvarez, Mavropanos, Luis Guilherme, Fulkrug, Guido Rodriguez, Todibo, Carlos Soler) etc...
Mixed bag
Mirth I mean, rumours once whispered Rosicky's mystery injury was actually a cocaine problem, but that's never excluded anyone from holding an executive role
Of all the what ifs people like to post, I wonder if we ever had a chance with Cole Palmer. Arteta would’ve known about him. Last two seasons with this guy…
Clrnc his Barnet is a massive red flag
Claudius probs but we have Saka and Odegaard in his position both of whom are better
lorddulaarsenal palmer is an offensive monster. Would be interesting to see how much of a striker he’d be with Arteta’s work demands. But having a multi-faceted offensive threat other than Saka and Odegaard would be great.
Think about the Invincibles. You knew that Henry, Pires, Bergkamp could all score and create and Freddie was always there to finish. Kept all your bloodclat defenders busy
Claudius Then ypu alsp had Kanu and Wiltord ready to come on at any moment who could also score and create. That team was stacked offensively. If only we had that kind of firepower we'd be unstoppable. Problem is we focus all our effort into signing the players to stack us defensively instead.
Oh and Nwaneri is also a bigger talent!
Real Sociedad DOF is stepping down end of the season. We should be all over him, this is the guy that found Isak amongst others.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 who are the others?
