NPDK Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 25 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: Uh oh... Time will tell! I think our owners will have looked into it and know what they want from him. We have people who can watch players, it's the early identification that data can especially help with. I definitely think with everyone on the same page and we can have a really successful few years here. Be fantastic if @NPDK can transcribe some interviews/podcasts. Prepare to see them reported on various news sources once you post them I'll see how much time I'm going to have, but right now I'm targeting tomorrow morning for some writing. It's a lengthy process mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise you have to prepare the bid before you table it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he will not have been brought in to find gems and necessarily sell them on. More likely finding gems to keep and improve Aston Villa.

Dave-R Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I do think our new SD will not want to make a wrong move by selling Grealish, I think he will want to make it so he stays at Villa and will be excited himself to see what he can bring in to play around Jack. I think if he signed off on Grealish leaving then it certainly would be a bad start and gain a disliking fast amongst fans, if I was him I would not want to be the one to make that move to sell him that's for sure. I am excited though to see what he can do, I just hope its not all in secrecy like Suso's work was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 See people have mention Wes Edens’s fortress’s fund wanting to buy FC Copenhagen last year but it wasn’t the club it was the stadium Im pretty sure as it’s also the danish national stadium and has a retractable roof so a multi use arena. Sort of like khan wanting to buy Wembley ( his was NFL Linked) ... The City Group model is the way forward in my opinion with Ajax as the pioneers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) So Johan Lange is known as the Transfer King in europe, the bloke sounds as though hes got himself some rep, hope he lives up to the hype at Villa.

Cliffy Biro Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Doesn't fill me with that much confidence in all honesty considering his reputation of selling players as soon as they start to develop into a good player. Theres no guarantee that we have hired him with that in mind but still a fair worry imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 He's probably the kind of guy Smith would be more suited to than Suso. From what im reading he's pretty big on data and analytics, Brentford guys were big into this. Interesting. Will see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
