I think it says:
- we had a coach who preferred buying expensive new toys to developing the talent available in our own ranks;
- we have a Sporting Director who does not understand the difference between Italian and English football;
- that we paid way over the odds for Erik Lamela; and
- that Tim had every right go ballistic when he heard about the signing.
THIS - "we have a Sporting Director who does not understand the difference between Italian and English football"
It's such a fundamental sporting and for Levy; Business point Eddie....I live in Spain these days - and like Italy, it has its two or three big, win every game teams and player's stats therefore look better than they are - as they thump teams 4 and 5 nil most weeks. Players prices sky rocket and then they get welcomed to the Premier League - and they don't know what's hit them. Of course, it's a different brand of football in the EPL - but at least it's competitive every single week. Spanish & Italian leagues are comparatively boring.
