Look at his record at Villa…
Ollie Watkins
Emmy Martinez
Buendia
Leon Bailey
Danny Ings
Diego Carlos
Jon Dhuran
Coutinho
Dendoncker
Diaby
Pau Torres
Morgan Rogers
Definitely some overpriced shit in there (including Bailey and Diaby that this forum were begging us to sign). But also a few transformational signings for them too.
tbf that list is pretty impressive.
I think he was already shuffled out in favor of Monchi by the time of Diaby, Torres and Rogers, but he had some winners, you also didn't include Matty Cash or Lucas Digne in there.
He did reasonably well and undoubtedly left a better side than he inherited.
Don't even know what this cunt supposedly does at he club, he certainly seems to have zero plan to improve the squad or get rid of any of the dead wood.
What does he actually do to earn his considerable wage?
Because I see no plan, signing Tel, renewing Davies, fucking up the Gibbs White deal. Thats 0 for 3

This cunt needs to be sacked yesterday. Fuck him and his awful deal-making ability. More than just analytics and player scouting you’ve got to have gravitas as a sporting director. You’ve got to make players feel special and make clubs respect you unconditionally. Everything about him screams second-rate, effete, cluttered, lacking force of will. This wet wipe can barely close a Timo Werner loan.
I doubt very much that was his choice. He probably went along with it to keep his job and relations sweet, which is what most people in his world would do.
Levy has to sack him and sack himself after that.
THIS. Fucking crying because you presentation falls flat. WTF! Is this middle school
Is this actually true mate or is it just some twitter ramble
Odds on it's the latter.
Until two weeks ago I was very happy with his work. I’m not going to have an overreaction to a couple of disappointing weeks.
Let’s wait and see.

How can you blame a guy when his remit at a top club seems to be to buy young players on cheap wages
It's easy to identify top players demanding 200k plus a week but we arent swimming in those waters
And even if we sign a slightly older player like Solanke again this type of player has to fit in with the salary scale. How many of the top cubs have their top centre forward earning the 90k a week Solanke is earning? It's a joke
Also this club has been signing plenty average players and wasting money long before Lange arrived. Sometimes we strike gold with a top talent signing but it's a rarity.
Just think about this. Kudus if he fulfils his potential will be our best attacking signing since Son in 2015.

Are you saying we bring back Ange as Director of Recruitment?
Who knows.. but I'm starting to get the vibe the blokes not the most impressive. Its a very random thing to invent.
Kudus was already a top quality player. Can't give Lange credit for picking out a good player that his team wanted rid of.How can you blame a guy when his remit at a top club seems to be to buy young players on cheap wages

Lange’s ability to ID youth and persuade Levy to buy the youth seems fine.
But he’s about to have his second negligent summer transfer window in a row.
He'll be another one to shoulder all the blame in the Levy merry go round. Probably sacked in October.
Having said that he does come across as deeply unimpressive. If you are full on data driven how do you end up with Werner x2, 65m for Solanke and a load of youngsters?

Liverpool’s data from Michael Edwards found them:
Salah
Vvd
Mane
Firminho
Kerkez
Pingpong
Wirtz
And Levy sacked him, so Lange must be even better
This Levy fella seems a bit shit
