Convinced our scouting team has never been outside of an L postcode tbh.

I don’t think we have a scouting team. We just throw phantom bids in on deadline day at random players to try convince us we do. Legit would love to be invisible for the day and sit in this dudes office during a transfer window.
I've said it before, many times, but at the end of last season our two key areas of weakness were a woeful defence and a non-existent midfield.
They were the priority and, arguably, Thelwell and whoever else was involved has rectified some of those issues. That's something people often ignore.
But, and it's a BIG but, we all knew that Richarlison was off after the Palace game, so everyone was well aware that our forward line would become the issue.
To some extent, I can understand why that may not have been rectified in the summer (other priorities, belief in Gordon and Dom etc.), but January is bizarre.
Rightly or wrongly, all the potential positives from the summer window will be put aside if we go down due to not having a decent forward available for a year.
There are obviously issues behind the scene that are limiting our ability to bring players in, but we've got to believe there was at least one suitable option, out there.
Thelwell's reputation here will metaphorically live or die on the no-forward hill.
He was just an other awful manager and I wouldn't dare back him.
He's just sat there with the lofi chill stream going in the background.
He is an awful clueless manager, and what? He’s not our manager anymore and oh look, we still have no strikers and no creative players.
I was talking about Benitez
He gets a pass for leaving us with the worst attacking options in the league?
We've brought in over 100m in fees for selling attackers and signed Maupay and McNeil. I struggle to think how someone could have done worse
Lampard, just like several other managers, got sacked due to dire recruitment. The same will eventually happen to Dyche after they didn't back him.
Blamimg a previous manager for our lack of a striker seems like a bit of a wind up to me as well. Fairly boring stuff. He had to go but the problems are still the same.
Love me some LoFi. I’m after Kev’s job in the Summer. I will fix us.
You know that scouting site/app that teams pay thousands for, that has records and stats/videos/ratings for nearly every player?
Just use that while listening to some chill tracks, easypeasy.
I mean it's probably a bit more complicated but I genuinely believe you can't do worse than our scouting department in the last 10-15 years lol
Nymzee for DoF.
Don’t even need it mate. Just give me a load of TV’s and the sport channel subs and keep Subways rolling in the office and I’m sorted.
Benitez is no longer our problem either. The director of football who’s left us weaker at the end of both of his transfer windows than we were going into them, is the problem.
Simon Buttle
Player Valuation: £50m
The thing is we did actually rectify this with Danjuma. Problem was that the player took one look at the mess that was going on here and changed his mind. Players like Ings didn't want to come here.
We had 8 days after the Danjuma deal fell through, did we have a list of 1 or something? Because not having an alternative lined up is also unacceptable.
Nah just keep a tab open with it so you can check the databases for the players you like lol
Honestly not a chance we've even glanced towards Germany
