This is something that enrages me - all that money spent on the new training ground and stadium, but zero indication we're interested in overhauling our (let's be perfectly honest here) 'patchy' recruiting department.

It can't be that expensive to do. Hell, it probably pays for itself after one successful player purchase and flip for profit from a random european league. It's bizarre. Like Levy thinks we should have all the real estate to become 'elite' yet neglect to do everything in his power regarding our playing staff.

Frustrating for sure....

I'd like to think now Jose is settled we go about doing it this year having neglected to rebuild it all in favour of Poch.

Strange that when Jose arrived there was lots of noise about a DOF, but now nothing.....

ENIC in v ENIC out is the most tiring argument. There is no end to it. Because both sides are kinda right.

Levy is a big reason for the club's progression. But his ways also hold us back in some instances.

Arguing in circles about it is useless.

Gutting it really is. If it wasn’t hard enough breaking the top 4, it’s now going to be near enough impossible. Liverpool and City are obviously on a different planet, but add a quality Chelsea side that are buying some unbelievable players, plus a very strong United side who bought brilliantly in Fernandes, we literally have no chance. Chelsea are buying absolute quality, whilst we are being linked to Troy Deeney. Utterly depressing.

Utter nonsense. We will be right in the mix for top 4.

Until such time as Levy steps back from negotiating transfers, it barely matters what sort of talent exists in our recruitment department. You don't get that kind of palaver at Liverpool, where Michael Edwards goes about his business very smoothly.

I'm surprised we haven't asked what Greaves availability is at this rate, we are looking for a low budget striker because another decent one won't come here and play back up to Kane is a mystery to me.

If there is something slightly reassuring, it's that all the noises we've heard from the club indicate José has a realistic list of transfer targets and (whether due to his weekly written reports on the squad or otherwise), we've got a Liverpool-style order of targets for each position in need and we can simply work down that rather than let a deal run until deadline day and find ourselves caught short.

To be honest, it's actually a bit of a relief. From his reputation at United, I worried that Mourinho would want unrealistic signings and then throw a shit fit when Levy didn't/couldn't deliver them. Instead, it seems for now that everyone is on the same page, helped in no small part I'm sure by Levy having coveted José for so long and knowing that he won't tolerate being messed around.
 
It does look like Chelsea are winning the transfer window but that means nothing, they have to do it on the pitch, as we know anything can happen, you can't predict how the table will end, when of if injury's will happen, so far in happy with our business but we need a Right back & Striker

Who’s the perfect guy to identify the replacement for Aurier? Why it’s Hitchen, the man who identified Aurier. What could go wrong?
