    Their buildup was a bit weird though. You can tell it was not really a quality system but strong physicality and very technical players. Vitinha and Mendes among others were instrumental.

    He probably won't.
  • VP89 replied to the thread Club ownership | Senior management team talk.
    Im actually less bothered too. But I do understand the sentiment that he could have avoided the wording there.
  • VP89 replied to the thread Club ownership | Senior management team talk.
    He said they got players who either weren't good enough or were overpaid. He didn't need to say that. He could have just said they were loose with the purse strings in previous windows and they are shifting their approach in the way they...

    He could have said that then.

    Could be Heaven - MDL - Mazraoui
  • VP89 replied to the thread Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed.
    Signing off on transfers doesn't mean he would have played any major role in talent identification but that's probably getting into a micro debate. I dont think it's 50/50 in the sense of being led by ten hag - the coach literally said the club...

    Yeah he was looking at how the recruitment fits in with the other departments (so that can be for the coach, how it might affect the pathway from academy players, the wage structure) Back to your point though, MDL as a target to go for was a...

    Ashworth would probably still not be involved much with this as we had Vivel in to look after player recruitment. It did not feel like it was part of his known remit, he explained what he's responsible for at Brighton and that's a close...

    He did not identify any targets, just clearing that up as you said it was part of his remit. And de Ligt at least was suggested to ten hag from the club. He said that himself. I think that clears up any doubt as to whether he was a club signing...

    No it wasn't. Ashworth does not identify transfers. He said this himself when he covered what a DoF does.
  • VP89 replied to the thread Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed.
    There's no pinch of salt. He was clearly talking about De Ligt as the current target. You need to watch the press conference, it's quite clear and unequivocal. Ineos also haven't washed their hands of it, SJR just said that they consulted with...
  • VP89 replied to the thread Erik ten Hag | Currently unemployed.
    He said it in a press conference why do you need a source? Anyway he said “I know Matthijs well and I will not deny that. I wanted to sign him two years ago but at that time, he was already very far along to join Bayern Munich (from Juventus)...
  • VP89 replied to the thread Ederson - Atalanta Midfielder.
    Wharton?

    I mean ten hag himself said De Ligt was an INEOS target so I think that would conclude it surely.
