Jareth Posted July 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2020 He's all about the data - so I've just read on that article above. Looks like a great fit for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Johan Lange signed - no idea who he is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gillz Posted July 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm not sure the whole 'I've never heard of him' line works for sporting directors. Even the biggest football manager fan would probably struggle to list more than 5 surely? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Say it quietly but Copenhagen very much sound like a Brentford at a higher level. If Lange can do the same job here with a higher budget, flipping 5m/10m into 50m/60m then wow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Excellent work Villa, now to crack open that war chest and start slapping in some bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Welcome. Seems to be following the existing model, but hopefully done a bit better. It's a big move for him to risk long term stability at the biggest club in Denmark to go to Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Has a good record with Copenhagen in unearthing gems and selling them on for a profit. Ruthless Villa me like it. Evidently this was being done behind the scenes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This is a great addition by the sounds of it. Finding value and sustainability in transfers with a focus on young talent and data analysis.

mikeyp102 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 11 minutes ago, Jareth said: This article on him is of interest Copenhagen have become the masters of the transfer market. Few clubs in Europe can boast their hit rate. Their ability to find value in the market and turn quick profits, all while continuing to win trophies domestically and compete on the continent, marks the champions of Denmark out from the rest. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11931483/fc-copenhagens-transfer-triumphs-johan-lange-explains-their-success Great article thanks for posting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You slap price tags on your own players. You table bids to SMASH your transfer record. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Sounds like he can flip players at a profit then Which some won't like but I think that's exactly how villa should be selling themselves right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Looks like a great appointment if he can scale his talents to a bigger club. His literal claim to fame is uncovering gems and dramatically increasing their output and value. Very happy we've got this sorted so quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
