Yup but Villa probably could afford to pay something up front mate.
Not gonna knock Chermiti though, the lad looks to have talent.

….the fact you pay nothing up front doesn’t make it a good deal when you acquire dross.
Just sign good footballers, it’s not rocket science even with limited spend. I hope everybody is right about Chermiti, but I’d swap him in an instant for Duran.
Doubt that Thelwell has the authority to sack Dyche. No way Moshiri has given him that power
If we had an idea who the 8 players Dyche rejected are then we may know if he was trying to fix the full back problems or not
Dyche will have signed off on the others including O’Brien then starts Keane ahead of him

Just looked it up. Duran came from Chicago Fire. Presumably he was one of their best players scoring one in 3 it looks like on Wiki
Which clubs want to sell their best players to us and be given zero money to replace them with.
….no idea but that’s why a DOF is paid lots of money to identify them. It’s a big old world out there.

This under qualified buffoon is a major part of the issue. Oap fullbacks. Strikers who can’t score.

The most important attribute of a manager or leader is decision.
You have to be brave and action decisions when required.
The main failing of a manager or leader is not to act.
You can continue but this isn’t getting any better. You must act now, otherwise it could well be too late.

We can't rate him under these circumstances.
We can rate him based on the fact he’s bought Beto, Maupay as attacking options; leaving us with no left back, 2 right fullbacks with a combined age of 70 and decided the small amount of money we had was better used in centre back that the manager has no intention of playing
A lot of complains about this guy and rightly so...but just wondering based on information shared earlier during the window that dyche may have rejected 8 players thelwell wanted to sign is perhaps an indication that the blame should be shared with the manager. Of course we do not know who were those 8 players bu wouldn't surprised me that there could have been a right back in there.
I thought they were right wingers

The club could easily leak out all 8 but I suspect there's a lot of embellishment in that list. And there's a good chance they were absolute bums if our recruitment for the past 5 years is anything to go off.

Not sure how Thelwell role works, lot less than previous due to be not being on the board.
So I assume the DOF finds first team players the team management says needs to fill weakness in the squad. Indeed Thelwell probably has more freedom in youngsters. With not knowing his exact job role and responsibility not sure I can blame Kev too much for our right and left back issues.

This summer showed why the DOF model doesn't work.
We spent the remainder of our budget on another defender. Even though we were desperate in other positions. And the manager prefers Keane at centre half anyway.
This is a ridiculous situation. Our recruitment just cannot be defended under Thelwell.
