Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo (AKA Monchi)

[Footy-Vill]

Well the complications in the deal for Luiz and the Juventus exchange players led to us having to settle on a Spanish speaking Barrenechea who wasn't first choice. The point being Monchi could communicate with them quicker to get the deal through.

Why can't I give my views, theories and ideas without being criticized.  Just because you have different ideas doesn't mean it's stupid.

[Clampy]

Deleted, i honestly cant be bothered.

Different ideas aren't necessarily stupid. Stupid ideas are though.

That is very true, Footy, it doesn't make different ideas stupid.

However in this case, you really are talking absolute nonsense.

Footy there one of the reasons

Surely Monchi could chose any player he wanted irrespective of language spoken, and just use Python 3.11.

Tracksuits just don't suit some people.

Monchi: “I plan the transfer market with a scouting department & a data department. Data is important but not infallible. We have to shorten the time taken to make decisions & reduce the margin of error. We oversee approximately 32 championships divided into three levels (Class A, B & C). Argentina is class A..

“The coach chooses the profiles he needs, not the names. We select a list, we refine it to around 15 players & at that stage I sit down with Emery & we choose 4/5. With those I start to negotiate to see conditions, salary, possibility of leaving etc. From there, the chosen one finally comes out..”

“Money opens up opportunities but it doesn’t bring you success. Aston Villa have invested a lot, but they are also one of the biggest earners. We reinvested what we had generated, but we are still a long way from the clubs that dominate English football..”

Argentina is class A..

David Cootes perked up at that point

I have a very similar picture of when me and a mate met Micheal Atherton - lets put it this way - Im not Monchi or Unai

What do people make of Monchi moves in the summer and now his attempts this window?

Likes of Bade and Foyth were attempted moves where he drew on already established contacts.
He's also been talking to Chelsea operatives like he talked to Chelsea in the summer to arrange dealings.

He also likes to get players to sign a new contract and then we send then move them out on loan , wise to be protecting assets.

Less than impressed with our summer transfer window. I'll wait and see how this one pans out.
