What? Thelwell has been very good.

Yep, @tsubaki said the same so I clearly have the wrong end of the stick. Happy to be corrected.

Verbruggen (we have Pickford anyway) and Baleba are the only two players Id want from them at realistic figures they may sell for.

Other than that and not knowing his actual duties, their transfer business has been very poor i believe the last couple of windows...spending a fortune.

Baseball is some player IMO

Baleba? He looks like the sort of player that we'd all be thinking could be world class if he played in our side.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Not sure, but he wasn't DOF at that time. Assistant to Ashworth maybe?

Weir started out as loans manager then got promoted

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Whats wrong with player recruitment on actually signed players based on the money spent and structure of the deals ?

Sorry mate, not being at all facetious, but I don't know what you mean here??

 

[BullensRoad]

Off topic, but I remember the old Everton website when he was playing, they used to get players on for a live question chat.

Could have asked anything for the limited time, but these two some how made it through:

1:

Q: What's your favourite flavour crisps David?

A: I don't like crisps

2:

Q: You don't like crisps?

A: They're too messy.

We need to swerve him and get that fat kid off Moneyball before Newcastle think of it

Erm belated Happy Valentines ?

I am incredibly sceptical of getting staff from Brighton. They have a fantastic infrastructure with strong leadership and vision at the very top ie CEO level. Look at the individuals who have left very successful tenures at Brighton and struggled.

Would Weir be a massive step up from Thelwell? Who has he bought? Where is his scouting network?

Agree with this

Tony Bloom is the brains behind it all at Brighton

Bloom has had him, often in senior positions for some time though.

He was loans manager then got promoted to Technical Director (now) nothing else mate, Id be concerned about what his actual role involves.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

He has done nothing to recommend himself for the position of DoF .
Unimaginative and lacklustre appointment if it happens.
