woah what the fuck

Not sure why people are celebrating, he's clearly well-regarded behind the scenes and suggests he might not have felt backed in his pursuit of young English talents.

This feels like a bad thing. All reports (except for that stupid documentary), said he was extremely competent and knowledgeable. Worrying.

We need someone who will scout HG talent, Paratici knows Seria A and maybe La Liga (hope Gil turns out to be good) but we need someone making deals for HG youngsters.

Wonder if that was the plan all along, let Paratici get used to us then move on, shame as he seemed to pick good targets, just never signed

Also, this leaves Paratici in full control - a bloke who still has some huge question marks and is seemingly completely unaware of the English lower league market, a market which has been hugely beneficial to us over the years.

Really not sure this is a positive at all. Got a bad feeling that the majority of our business going forward will be agent-led signings from other leagues.

He may well be, but Spurs havent seen the result of that 'competence' in years
Indeed

He's been part of a truly negligent transfer committee. I have no idea whether he's great, and has just been over ruled, but some truly terrible buys have been made on his watch

I really don't know his role exactly and how he worked. But if I'm honest, his competency should have been felt in our recruitment after all years. But there have been no standout signings and more importantly, no major breakthroughs from the academies..
