I would honestly go back and tell him to write any number and pay it. He’s exactly what we need and a very good DOF
Dougie? Is he 7 years old?
Dread to think which idiot they bring in
Idk maybe after we go down Joe will sell up and we can get a decent owner.
I don't think he's at the top of his game, but he knows how to build a squad, something we haven't had since Mitchell.
Did Winstanley work with De Zerbi at Brighton?
Maybe there’s a joined up plan there?
Edit: I checked and Winstanley was head of recruitment at Brighton when RDZ was hired. They apparently get on very well

Left Palace after the FA Cup to go to a 2nd tier Saudi club.
Wouldn't want him anyway.
Holy fuck if we do that just nuke the club
I’ll go follow basketball or something
Better than Frank and Lange as manager and DOF…

Reckon this might already be a done deal
I realise "anyone but Vinai and Lange" is basically everyones preference - but is this Paul Winstanley any good?
Someone to get excited about? Or worried?
I mean, Chelseas business recently doesnt exactly fill me with confidence....
No clue but his record at Brighton was very good:
Notable players who arrived or were promoted/scouted during his tenure (with approximate signing years where relevant) include:
- Pascal Gross (2017) —
- Joel Veltman (2020) —
- Adam Webster (2019) —
- Alexis Mac Allister (2019, .
- Moises Caicedo (2021) —
- Leandro Trossard (2019) —
- Yves Bissouma (2018) —
- Marc Cucurella (2021) —
- Dan Burn (2018) —
- Kaoru Mitoma (2021) —
- Julio Enciso (2022) — Pa
- Facundo Buonanotte (2023,
- Viktor Gyökeres (2018) —
It's hard to know if he any use or not.
As Chelsea have learned, just because someone was at Brighton doesn't mean they were good it means they were working in a brilliant environment. Recruitment at Brighton was brilliant.
Look at the mess of a squad that Chelsea have and the issues fans have with it. They are supposedly reversing their kids only signing strategy this summer but Winstandley was either a promoter of that strategy or not strong/capable enough to get the owners to stop it before now.
What is better to judge him on, Brighton or Chelsea? Its a hard one to call
