It’s remarkable to me, some of the fees Chelsea and Liverpool get for their dreck. Last couple I can think of that we sold, that made me snigger due to the fee, were Bergwijn and Wimmer. Fucking ages ago.

I know we have scouts supporting Lange and maybe, but maybe not, Paratici, to get players in, but who is dealing with the outs? Seems like it would be quite a specialised position. Wonder if Liverpool and Chelsea have such a person? Sure I read back in the day that Chelsea had Granovskia doing that role when RA owned the place?

TBH I don't really know that it is a skilled role that generates that, rather than some interesting business arrangements through different companies
 
I’m almost on board myself, but more from a grim fascination perspective. If he does come here, it’s not going to boring, either a spectacular success, or a “shit, everything is on fire” disaster. I’m intrigued.

From this, he doesn't look like he has a plan. He just gets the ball and makes it up as he goes.
And ya know what? I dig that. If he doesn't know what he's gonna do next, how do you defend it?
Son has become predictable hence his massive drop in output. We need something less predictable.

I get that argument with Chelsea, as they are the epicentre of dodginess, but I don’t get that feeling with the Red Scouse. Maybe there is something there though. Might be the easiest and most likely explanation.
 
They didn't get much of a chance to spend the Onana money last season, expect that's where this splurge is coming from.

The Chavs do absolutely amazing work in selling players IMO, it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever if they manage to recoup a decent amount of the N'kunku and Mudryk fees even though both are shite. I want to know what it is about Tottenham flops that is so off putting to other clubs we can't even get them off our books for nominal fees? Reguilon is a good example, he didn't even do that badly at Utd, how did we not manage to get rid of him permanently when he came back from that loan? Surely the Burnleys or Brentfords of this world would be tempted at £6-10m? Are we demanding too much for them? Or are we really signing such shite players not a single club in Europe fancies taking a chance on them?
As much as we don't pay the biggest wages I do think we end up with a lot of mid range players on wages they would struggle to get elsewhere. Reguillon as an example was on £52,000 a week at Spurs, would of made him Brentfords second highest paid player.
