Amo69 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This is the best villa related news I've seen since we appointed Lambert. At least we are looking at the whole of Europe. It will open up so many options without us having to break the bank on British mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 As we don't have a bottless pit of cash that people are so desperate for what's wrong with freeing up some cash by getting rid of shit players and their contracts for players that are wanted. Well yes, clearly it would make sense if we are broke or Lerner isn't prepared to spend. Which is why I said the idea we have plenty of money and Randy is prepared spend decent money doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Don't know about the person but his resume of BM is impressive and hopefully is an excellent step forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 What is the point of employing a top new scout if there is no money to support his judgement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 is there a list anywhere on net of the players he scouted and got signed to Bayern Munich and any of other teams he has scouted for? interested to see who he has talent spotted, am excited by this appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Fantastic acquisition. Hopefully, he can unearth a few gems for us as he is bound to be very well connected. I see that even this is being used as a stick to beat Lerner with though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islingtonclaret Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This is so, so good. They're really putting the right pieces in all the right places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Nice interview from the man in question. Seems a smart and likable sort of bloke. But let's face it: Head of European Scouting for Aston Villa? It's like being head of the Bolivian navy. He's probably lighting cigars and chuckling to himself as he recites his job title under his breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If we have made a big name in football circles as our head of scouting I wonder if Randy intends to spend some of his Cleveland Browns money after all. Surely we would not appoint somebody like Henke and say go and find a load of Bosmans???? you know what, if they're really good bosmans who gives a toss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 done bit of digging due to this comment from Henke ''This is a similar role to one I held at Bayern. Our objective will be to identify young players who have a good future and a good mentality.'' he might have been involved with Mario Basler arriving and Bixente Lizarazu The World Cup Winning Left Back arriving from Athletic Bilbao.. if he was.. impressive indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Next to Lambert this could be the biggest appointment the club has made in a long time. Identifying good players is the most important role at the club next to managing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably lighting cigars and chuckling to himself as he recites his job title under his breath. He is old enough to remember that some time in the early 80s we beat Bayern Munich to win a certain cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIVillan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 doesnt his role sound similar to commoli at liverpool and spurs? Except this seems to be a Lambert appointment rather than the board forcing someone on a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% sure signings will be made from suggestions made by this guy. I was just disagreeing that it means Lerner is going to spend a significant amount in the future.
