Daniel Levy makes attempt to get sporting director for Tottenham

[Mullers]

You are now talking about how different managers want to work, Poch clearly was happy to work in a similar system to ours at Southapton so why would he not be happy now?

We bought Fazio, Yedlin and Stambouli clearly he didn't want those players and never did, so something went wrong somewhere.

 

[Donki]

Donki I get it, you are passionate about defending all things Levy and ENIC but surely you can see the difference between someone like Sherwood recommending a player to the chairman when the head coach/manager doesn't want that player and a head coach/manager sending out a scout to watch a player for him.

All depends if the manager is kept in the loop, if the chairman goes behind a manager and signs players he doesn't want these is indeed a problem. I don't defend Levy blindly if I have hard evidence he is shafting a manager il happily say so and criticise him for it. If Sherwood highlighted Eriksen, I don't see why anyone would have to highlight him he was one of the brightest young stars in Europe, I'm sure the manager oked the signing.

How do you know Poch didn't want the players? Yes Stambuli was a backup to MS but how do we know Poch said "no I don't want him" perhaps the signing just didn't work out. Fazio is a strange one, and again a back up to our main target but again he's a player Poch surely knew and perhaps even a player he had highlighted, again he just hasn't adapted to the league. Yedlin was bought as a development player, and for his obvious marketing potential I see nothing wrong with it. The signings just didn't work out. You can't look at the negatives without the positives, for every Fazio, or Stambuli we have an Eriksen, Bale, Modric or Dier to name a few. That's not even mentioning our own home grown players such as Kane, Mason, Benteleb (to a degree), Prichard .

Are you telling me all other clubs have a better success rate at successful transfers than us? If you are I would STRONGLY disagree, even Wenger who you said has final say on signings has signed some wrong ones, for pretty big money.

Football is not an exact science and all clubs aren't run the same, we have a head coach who has Imput on signings, with other people aiding the club in making choices. It's a system Poch is used to and adopted by other clubs like Swansea and Southapton who have implemented it successfully.

I think Eriksen was a good buy for the price we paid for him BUT he was not AVB's choice, he wasn't the player he wanted.

People said Yedlin was a commerical signing from the off and you yourself mentioned obvious marketing potential. The guy couldn't even get ahead of chirches ffs. He will never play for us. Stambouli he didn't do badly when he was here but Poch was very, very relunctant to play him and he's gone after one season, Fazio we tried to sell after one season. I don't think they fitted the profile of the players he wanted at all otherwise he would have given them more than one season.

I know we've had some good signings as well as bad ones but my main point is that the transfer commitee is a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth and Levy not really trusting the judgement of Poch and Mitchell, that is why he needs pleaty and Bloomfield in his ear, now we here a DOF might be thrown into the mix, what the hell for? The club said that Baldini was in charge of player disposal so he didn't negotiate any of the new signings and he was the DOF. So I'm not understanding why we need a DOF to replace him and be on a committee.

Hate to point it out but it's cocks not cooks, apart from that completely agree.

Surprised we are not interested in Monchi (Sevilla). Done an excellent job there over the years under much harder circumstances than the guy at Juve.

Translation of headline: Daniel Levy is looking for his new scape goat

As strange as this sounds it is probably the reason why we are NOT after him. Monchi has been at Sevilla for 15 years, he's developed a network of 700 scouts around the world and he developed the youth system there, so he's not going to come here and be a glorified gopher boy.

Paracti would be seen as more getable, more moldable to Levy's image of a DOF.

 

[Mullers]

According to Italian journalist Di Marzo, we don't have much of a chance of getting Paracti.
