I think if we get him in early we can really motor on in the market. The days of buying early and decisively went with Comolli / Arnesen - I think Levy finds it tough on his own
id like to think the targets this summer would be from Levy/AVB rather than a newly appointed DoF who probably doesn't have much knowledge of our team and what we require?
though having a DoF in place and working on an already established list of targets would no doubt speed things up
the guy was a complete failure at roma - why is levy/avb after a failed director - this is an important recruitment for the club!
He certainly has an eye for talent. I just hope we allow him freedom to use it.
GB why did you bold some of those players?
The top 5 because they were young players he discovered who went on to become world class.
The bottom 3 because they are current Roma players who we've already been linked with this window.
Looks like he knows Argentina quite well from that list
With Baldini Italy, Spain and Argentina, AVB Brazil and Portugual, and Freund Germany, that's some impressive knowledge and networks.
We had knowledge of Brazil before AVB through our link-up with Internacional. There is an exchange of scouting info there. We will get a lot more insight into these markets through our link-up with Real Madrid. One of the conditions of the Modric sale was that we have access to Real's scouting database and player profiling - I don't think people realise how significant this can be for us in the future.
