from the THST meeting minutes
- THFC’s transfer comfort zone was with younger players around the £10-15m price range and they would look to return to that policy
- Was felt that moving away from this strategy in Summer 2013 hadn’t worked well for THFC, however, DL was keen to stress the Club had backed the Coach and Technical Director with those purchases

Very sensible.
From Modric, Berbatov and Bale, to Lloris, Eriksen and Verts, it’s the policy that has served us best.

Agreed. We have to look beyond that policy at times, but that should be the majority of our first team signings.

I am another for agreeing with this policy, I think the value you can get from the 10-15m market when scouted properly is far better thhen value from the 15-30m market where for us and others the are a lot of hit and missed.
In players like that the seems more dangers as to what can go wrong, like Soldado may seem as he scores a lot of goals that he is a top striker so worth that amount but scoring goals in a foreign league has muddied the waters. Where as if we went for players at 10-15m like a bony or benteke then we would have done better, but even if we went for a striker in this price range it still would not have hurt us as much as Soldado has.
The more I think about the Soldado deal the more it amazes me, going for someone that old who had never done it out of his own league, utter mugs we were.

Just another thing we have to thank avb for.... Imagine if he got all the signings he wanted... Shudder
yeah, like Leandro Damaio
Were we not linked with Damaio under Harry's rein? I'm sure the press had us strongly linked with him, but then he suffered a bad knee injury and we heard nothing until he returned at which point AVB was in charge and then all of a sudden we were in for him again, at least until it was clear the club were'nt intereseted and the story died.

I think to some extent those type of players were needed by particular managers (Jol and Redknapp) who were more motivation than tactics. I think someone like Poch is so all controlling, that he needs younger and/or more passive/recipient players

Disagree.
Looking at somewhat similar managers like Simeone or Bielsa more experienced players have been important for them. A player like Gallas wasn't just a "motivational leader" he was also a very good player who made others around him better. The importance of his ability was clear to see when he (as expected) got a bit worse after a while and was nowhere near as important for us.

I was watching him play the other day for Holland and although the overall team performance wasn't great he caught my eye. He was playing in a more central role and it suited him. I didn't realise he was 29.

Has played 1 Dutch game for every 4 club games he has played. I remember Anderton having an amazing ability to fit come Intl duty too
