I think you make a good point. Was it Ranieri who got the most out of them or Walsh? Thinking it was the former.

I'm worried for our future with this no mark in charge of signings. I've just stuck £500 on us being relegated next season.

It's probably the drugs, which hopefully Walsh will bring with him.

Exactly.

Does it really matter though? He bought the raw material that won the league. Which is what we'd be hiring him for, no? Assuming it's up to Koeman to replicate the results after that point.

Same three as the other fella said, good.

I stand by it, the man is a nobody and there is a massive difference between being a scout and a DOF.

Ends in tears, this.

Of course it matters, he is basically gegging in on Ranieri's managerial skills. People are forgetting Leicester were almost relegated till they swapped Pearson for Ranieri, but all of a sudden Walsh was the mastermind!

Loons.

I'm not disagreeing mate. They were boss last season obviously.

But Vardy and Mahrez had been there a couple of seasons before getting good. Maybe it was Ranieri rather than Walsh.

Kante of course was an excellent find.

I'm just trying to offer a balanced view IMHO

None of us know enough about him to make a real judgement obviously, that's true with Monchi too though. Walsh is obviously a very experienced football man though and his role at Leicester - head of recruitment/assistant manager - is an interesting one. We want him to be DOF so obviously he must bring a lot more to the table than just "does he scout boss players?". If this happens I'm happy to trust Moshiri on it.

Ok. Ok. HE'S THE BEST DOF OUT THERE AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM TO GUIDE THE MIGHTY BLOOS BACK INTO EUROPE WITH BARGAIN PLAYERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE LIKE THAT DANIEL AMARTEY WHO REALLY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING AT LEICESTER

THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE IS ON ITS WAY BACK
