Yeah, just did a bit of reading about the guy. Bit more to him than that by the sounds of it. I really don't like the way we are moving toward giving Poch more and more control over recruitment. Of course, he should have a major input and a big say in who comes and goes, but our transfer activity has been pretty uninspiring the last couple of years, since our recruitment structure went tits up, with Mitchell resigning etc.
Really really analyse what you need. Do your homework and you can do wonders for peanuts. Sevilla in the Ramos days was the best example of this.
We really need to get more stuff right. Liverpool have been doing this. But their recruitment team does nothing else it seems - they Excel the shit out of their transfers.
