Well I am Portuguese and followed his career closely before he went abroad. He's not a flash in the pan, there's life beyond the Premier League. The quality was obvious, same as Jardim who I would have liked us to go for before he went to Monaco. Then again I thought Koeman would be good for us, so what do I know.
Ok but actual specific reasons you rate him?

I completely admit I know next to nothing about him besides what I've read here and seen him do in the prem. I couldn't even watch the Watford match.
 
£10 million compensation for a manager who is currently decent and has some potential and yet we didn’t have any transfer kitty left for any number of positions that needed filling in our squad. I just don’t even know anymore... do we have money or not?


Hang on a month or so and we might get him for nowt, the rate Watford sack managers.

I mean, if Hammers beat them on Sunday that will be four losses in a row and the storm clouds will be starting to gather in Hertfordshire :(

I know people will throw out the “it’s not my money so I don’t care line” but ten million? That’s ludicrous. The money we’ve blown recently is just not good business sense. You wouldn’t mind if we’d have improved, but we’ve gone backwards. Honesty I’m not a strong advocate of putting Unsworth in charge for the rest of the season but I just don’t want to see us panicking and spending way over the odds.

Of course some might argue it’s the price you pay to avoid relegation but the importance of the January transfer window transcends that of the new manager anyway. The fact is that when you have a director of football (we can debate his effectiveness but he is there) or clear plan from above player recruitment shouldn’t be impacted too much by managerial changes. Southampton have done this just fine the last few years. Silva or Unsworth or whoever, it shouldn’t matter. We all know what we need and we need it whoever is in charge.
 
We seem so short-sighted that we go for whoever has impressed us at Goodison.

That Vlasic lad looks decent, let’s sign him up.

That Silva has cracking hair and is a snappy dresser, how about him Farhad?
Or we had been scouting Vlasic for quite some time and were impressed seeing him in person. Was he a bad buy?
