This forum is laughable, go back 10 pages and he’s a useless pussy.

Now he’s a fucking boss.

It’s basically absurd.
I'm still in the useless pussy camp... does it take a guy probably earning 7 figures to point out Kudus and MGW are players who will improve our first team. Fair play if he found the young Japanese CB and he turns into a 100m player but name me another player bought under Lange who are now worth more than what we paid.

I think Danso is easily going to be that. £20m or so for a decent CB who, I think, is HG, is a bargain.
 
I will concede that one as well. He's worth way more than the £8.5m fee we paid but I think people get the point I am trying to make...

Is it not really the case that most players, over a certain value and ability, are worth less than their cost as soon as they sign?

Only exception is perhaps players who are an underwhelming/cheap signing, or have a low release clause.

Not all that often that a £60m/£70m+ player is resold later at a profit.

Probably, bit like new cars but we just seem to buy so many young players (18-22/23) between 20m - 50m that are bang average and we struggle to off load. When we do, they go for peanuts.

I think that is why the club might not have an appetite for those risks that fans demand. Whether or not that is a problem with our recruitment, or just the numbers game. I think clubs, in general, suffer from stuff like this. Liverpool and Chelsea seem to be impervious to it

It's ridiculous how good the bin dippers are at getting transfer value. It's clear they don't want Nunez or Diaz but looks like they are going to get back more than what they paid for Diaz and similar for Nunez from Saudi Pro League.
 
What does Lange do all year? Because its well known that Levy has to get involved in every big deal to get it over the line.

He works in silence scouting youth but its a massive grey area and I'd imagine his performance review won't be great at the end of the year unless the likes of Takai becomes a regular starter which won't happen.

DO SOMETHING LANGE!

If he discovered VDV and bergvall he deserves credit. Not sure he discovered vdv though.
