100%. Doesn’t matter who the DOF is, they are handicapped by Levy. Until he’s gone, the DOF should escape criticism as he’s essentially the recruitment decision maker , and operational lead

Lange’s vision for the future of Tottenham Hotspur: Timo Werner, Radu Dragusin, Dominic Solanke, Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert, Archie Gray, Antonio Kinsky, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Mohammed Kudus, Joao Palhinha, Kota Takai.
So, aside from the two PL no brainers (who cost £120m combined and anyone could’ve signed), who stands out? Who looks like they could really become a top player? Bergvall, maybe. I like Danso’s solidity as a 3rd choice CB.
Everyone else? It all feels second rate, paint by numbers bullshit. There is no theme or vision behind these, it’s just getting affordable players. Got rinsed for huge fees for Gray and Tel too. Who are the future stars of Tottenham in this group? Whose face can you put on the stadium? Who’s going to sell tickets and pick up the team when they’re down?

We don’t know who the stars are because they’re mostly kids. How the fuck you gonna get upset that kids are still kids ?
"If in truth he's more just a exec./head scout then yeah can't blame him for the broader vision."
He is more than an exec/head scout. He is head of recruitment. Obviously. So you did merely suggest.
No, you're being disengenuous, as per, in pretty much every post post you make. No one is going to a club to be the head of recruitment to be "an exec".
Also, check you out, name calling again. You know that's when you don't have an argument. You're good fun. I like you.
Cry baby fraud of a man. Literally getting paid to do nothing whilst the other Rape apologist also sits on his arse getting paid to do fuck all.
Why. Lange has spent a lot of money and frankly not one player hes bought is someone I'd be gutted to see leave. Whether youre spending 5m or 500m you can still be judged and Lange has been dreadful.

His handicap must be incredible by now
Lange hasn’t spent anything and probably had little say in the final decision. That’s our resident megalomaniac, Daniel who has final say
Buzzing for his video discussing the transfer window
Let's hope Milesy is the one conducting the interviewBuzzing for his video discussing the transfer window
Could be a hard hitting classic
He's obviously useless but we dont really know if he is going to Levy saying what about buying X player for Frank and Levy is saying no, too much money. One would assume Levy leaves Lange with one hand tied behind their backs like everyone else.
Its the lack of coherent alternatives when a target goes tits up. That's the big give away. He's utter fucking hopeless.
With less than 4 weeks to go in his 2nd summer transfer window let's take a quick look at his signings in the two summer transfer windows which is when all clubs do their main business and implement their plans.
We have signed 2 premier league ready players on permanent deals (solanke and Kudus), a 30 year old on loan whose current club are cutting their loses after only 1 year and then a bunch of kids.
We finished 17th last season but remarkably still have CL football this season and yet this is what we are ending up with.
Unforgivable it really is.

This is what you get when you take a data/moneyball approach.
I wonder if Paratici is getting in Lange's way, perhaps explaining why we can't get deals done. Paratici is an old school connections guy. Is he really trying to do deals outside the circles he has relationships in? If we come out of this window with no more than what we have Paratici should be sent packing.
Lol Paratici in Langes way. Lol Paratici doesn't appear to be involved at all. Its Lange Frank keeps name checking. I don't think Paratici came back on board fully and that's why it's been even harder to close deals. He couldn't convince Tel who Bayern were kicking out to join, Levy had dry his tears and take over
