Can you be more specific here? In this scenario is Scarlett wearing the crown jewels or are you? It's not grammatically clear, so I'm struggling to assess the true likelihood.

Thanks.

Does it really matter? The important point is having the Crown Jewels in the first place.

Palhinha is probs the only name on the last 700 pages I'd sign.

Apart from Nkonku and Branthwaite I don't think we have signed a player under brands who wasn't sort of well known.

Need some unknowns to turn into good business. Example the likes of Soucek and Coufal, not well known but went straight into the first team.

So you want to sign unknows who have also been full internationals since 2016-17 one of whom won the Czech footballer of the year the year before he moved to West ham and the other is 28.

There not really unknowns is my point and thats probably a more damming indictment of our recruitment really.

It's a question of risk aversion. It's pretty clear that Brands' strategy is to drive a hard bargain on proven merchandise, leavened with the occasional inexpensive dice roll.

Digne wasn't Prem proven, but he was as close as you're going to get having been through Lille, PSG, Roma and Barca. Mina was more of a dice roll, as an obvious talent that had a stellar World Cup but had barely played for Barca. Richarlison was Prem proven. Bernard was a punt like Nkounkou and Branthwaite that pretty much can't hurt you, since you get in on a free and most likely get out on a fee.

Iwobi was in principle Prem proven, but Arsenal fans knew better. Kean was one of the hottest young talents in Europe. We did a successful try-before-you-buy on Gomes, and tried to do the same with Zouma. Gbamin was an ironman for Mainz. Delph was a cheap punt on an older player with a reputation.

Godfrey and Doucoure were Prem proven, Allan was as close as you'll get and James was the best player at the 2014 World Cup.

It's up to the eye of the beholder whether or not this is a sound plan. I'd argue that he has had two stellar summers and an incredibly lousy one, which would have been decent if not for luck (Kean not settling in England and Gbamin inexplicably breaking). I would also argue that a lot of people continue to overestimate the quality of the squad he inherited, which tends to explain the risk aversion (most signings must work out, or you have a season like 2019-20).

Gazzaniga on a free?

Would be great, but compliance & our accounts says it can't happen.
