    Next DoF

    It might be the case that we will hire some new scouts who embrace the data method a bit more, pretty certain we had ITK that Broomfield was data resistant. We might well be using whatever worldwide contacts/scouts Fabio has instead. The guys going might not have had much input in our recent...

    A fellow fan in the pub started talking at me during halftime, after his anti ENIC, Levy, Ange, current tactics rant he finished up with "and the women's team have been holding the men's team back"... 🤷

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    I've watched quite a bit of Italian football since I got TNT cheap with my broadband and he's a quality player, definitely operates in the spaces that would suit us and has that spur of the moment magic about him, deceptively quick feet, not overly greedy either just a solid team player.

    A player who can't finish consistently isn't a sound deal in my book, I understand what you're saying but it seems contradictory to what we're watching. There's nothing arrogant in turning this deal down, and I'm not 100% against it, but I definitely think we should trust the scouts to find a...

    I think that final line is incredibly short sighted, and odd, I don't want us settling for players, I think it's less prudent to do so. Not wanting to try for a better player incase we buy another Ndombele is a really weak argument given how good the scouting has been, and the different...

    Good scouting finds someone better, not hope, there's a lot of cliche to unpack here but if a player isn't finishing his dinner in this system then it's not a good deal. No one is saying anything about hope, strange take.

    His football intelligence is top notch but at 28 he's reached his ceiling, I'm not really sold on him and I'm definitely not sold on the whole "he's good value" argument, if he keeps missing chances it's not good value, and I'm sure we can find a wide player with his work rate, more no than yes.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Seemed to me it was a broader conversation about squad building and the parameters of the club, he said the club will never be in a position to buy a £100m player. Personally, if the squad had two £50m players of a VdV/Porro/Sarr/Romero standard our squad would jump to another level, and any...

    There's a Levy thread, use it.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Bigger picture, his personality and honesty shines through, the lack of bullshit makes it far more likely Levy trusts him.

    Even the famous Newcastle "gung-ho" season they only conceded 37, but I do think improved squad depth, a stronger midfield and wingers that pose more threat would see us concede less.

    West Ham could cause us problems with the way they play, if we're too narrow I can see another tough outing.
