I have seen the Godin story and I don't believe it. But I believe our interest in Willian is very real, and I am very concerned for the direction of the club in terms of the names we are hearing.Apparently Mourinho wants Godin...
I am pretty despondent about shit like this now. Sure we made mistakes in the market, but a few years ago we were at least mainly making them for the right reasons. Buck for buck we probably had one of the better transfer policies 10-5 years ago, in terms of value hunting, it's what helped us climb the greasy pole.
We are one of the first to adopt the DOf model.
We seem to have moved in the opposite direction, and now everywhere I look everyone else is doing smarter business, and we are sliding back down that pole.
I liked the logic of the people we signed in the summer, but we ignored absolutely glaring deficiencies, then spent 30m on another fucking dimwit athlete winger in January. The very last thing we needed.
And Mourinho is hardly the guy to be cheer leading value investment with development potential upside.
I have no confidence that next season will even go ahead on account of this blasted coronavirus. But if it does, and if we continue to recruit badly and Mourinho is still in charge, I think the outlook is relatively bleak.
