Do what you like, mate.thinktank sorry mate didn't know you supported Norwich. Want me to change it to Ipswich?
Making a dumb tackle doesn't make this kid a shit player.
He's very talented and should be one of the ones we keep under Conte.
I thought he was quite good in a decent portion of his games for Hoffenheim last year, never saw him play much at Fulham. Hopefully he stays fit and they can make a decision on him before the summer. We should be in a for a pair of ruthless transfer windows.He is not a good young player. His potential has long been exposed as actually not that high. He peaked early. He's not physically or emotionally pushed on at all. He is never going to amount to more than we have seen. Factor in his frailty and its time to move him on.
We have wasted so much money these last few years
Absolutely tragic

Apparently the chief scout/technical director during that period is now revamping the scouting department.It is amazing that the window where we signed Sessegnon, Lo Celso, and Ndombele has done as much damage as where we went 18 months without signing anybody! What the fuck have we been doing asa club the past few years, the drop in the quality of our players is unbelievable.
I feel bad for every single one of us. I don’t feel bad in anyway for this time waster.Feel bad for him tbh after all the chat about how this could be the chance to restart his career.
But yeah, that was shit.

Which doesn't fill me with confidence. Everyone involved in our first-team recruitment over the last 4 years wants shooting, it's been a fucking diabolical mess.
According your good self Fab and Hitchen together are now revamping the scouting and recruitment.What are you talking about?
Fab is the DOF..... He's just arrived and he's the one overseeing the revamp.

I'd prefer it to be just Paratici or A N Other. Just not Hitchen.
Hitchen is somebody i have absolutely zero confidence in. That's based on our recruitment over the last 4 years which he has reportedly overseen. That was his role and for that he should have been fired because it's been a total disaster.
He was our Chief Scout and then our Technical Performance Director. I'd say those are pretty senior positions at a football club this size. Nobody appears to have a clue what he actually does. That's probably a good indicator he's fucking shit at whatever it is he actually does do.Fab is the main man... Much like Levy used to wield the power over Hitchen previously.... His position here has long been over-played since Amazon made a meme out of him... He'd barely ever got a mention here before the TV show; such was people's ignorance of him.
Honestly, other than a head scout with a fancier job title; what exactly do you (or anyone for that matter) think he does here?
Poch would have had a huge slice of the non-financial say when it came to Ndombele, Gio & Sess (in particular)..... Which has proved far more detrimental than what followed in the following 2 windows under Jose.

I do know our scouting and recruitment of players during his tenure in these roles has been disastrous. Should he not be held accountable?
But managers, players come and go, he seems to sit there immune from it all because well, we don't actually know what he does...
