I seem to recall the suggestion from his time at Juve was that he was good at spotting talent just not good building a team. That does appear to be the case here since his signings don't all fit a specific way. However there's at least a number of player with great potential and that can allow Ange to develop them to work his way. If we can identify exactly what we need in a position then a DOF just needs to have that similar level of ability to find the player who best fits.
Maybe Paratici didn't work for managers who had a clear vision so he just went and got the best talent he could find with little cost. I don't think Conte really had a vision to follow. He was very much short term thinking. Get player x to fit this formation no matter the cost. The trouble is if they're still young and a bit raw by the time they develop Conte would be gone.
Agree with this.
If the previous model was Paratici buying players unchecked, then there is the downfall if he’s an able to spot talent but just buys individuals regardless of the fit within team, therein lies the problem. He needs someone to vet his picks prior to buying, to ensure we only bring in the right technical fit for the team makeup.
Take Partatici’s eye for playing talent, with Ange’s view of what specifically he needs and how best to implement it, get that working in tandem and we’ve cracked it. Let Fabio bring lists of multiple players and rather than letting him pick any, have Ange vet the list first.
