Thought he was highly rated ?
Di Marzio: Javier Ribalta (Juventus scouting manager) to Man Utd
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
How reliable is the guy who has tweeted this?
Wasn't he hired to oversee our scouting operation?
Have a feeling that Mourinho probably wanted more control over the transfers but to get rid of a guy who was so successful at Juve is mind boggling. Recruitment at this club has been dog shit for years now, seems like that’s going to continue.
If true 
What a mess.
What a mess.Get the feeling the gimps sorry glazers have put a restriction in recruitment.
All feeling very House of Cards-y around the club at the moment. All is clearly not well.
I have a feeling that the job description wasn't honest.
You have to laugh or you'll cry.
It's all leaning towards the 3rd Season Meltdown
Agreed!
The internal workings of our club seem to be a right mess these days. It wasn't just the managerial appointments that we botched post-Fergie, we also failed to sort out the internal order when Gill left. Bit weird that this guy was supposed to be such a genius and now he's (possibly) leaving after only a year.
Was that written by someone that doesn’t have English as their first language. “is prepared to leave” is a weird phrase to use in this context.
On a side note, this guy’s been here a year now. Have we signed anyone over that period of time that he could be given credit for scouting?
Anyone have a clue who momblan official is? remotely reliable before we start assuming stuff?
don't worry about confirming or reasoning just go full meltdown and worry about the fallout later!
All the signs are there, even alienation of a potential World class talent in Martial.
The original Italian tweet used the word "pronto", which can either be translated as ready/prepared to.
Has the mighty Di-Marzio spoken on this yet?
Who is the momblano fella
I'm sure its a really testing job to scout Gareth Bale and Harry Maguire after the WC. After a year, he is probably fed up of the tunnel vision.
Not really seen his influence so that's probably why he wants to leave...
Either he's getting ignored or he's struggling to find targets based on the club's requirements
Or maybe he's getting a promotion at the new club..

This
Dalot is the kind of player he is known for targeting, he gets younger talents who are on the cusp before they become ridiculously priced, pretty much the opposite of our current manager who wants older, ready made players that don't need to be coached on to the next level.
Dalot?
Honestly, I was looking forward to a good pre-season and season this year but with the amount of shit that's already going on I'd say we're going to be in major trouble by Christmas.
We've got staff jumping ship after a month and a bunch of players that are looking to leave. Something has to give.

I didn't even realise this guy actually came, and now the fecker is leaving
Perhaps he suggests wingers and the club says no, as they aren't called Gareth Bale, who can reject the club for the 5th year in a row.
Then maybe produces a list of potential CB's, and the club say no as they watched big slabhead Maguire score a header at the WC and they are horny for him.
I guess so? Being Portugese, I assumed he might have been discovered due to Mourinho's contacts.
Probably.
this thread was a joke when people were saying 'he doesnt seem to have much input????????' 3 weeks after he was hired haha
It's possible but other than being Portuguese everything else about Dalot fits more with Ribalta's profile of player than Mourinho's.
What's that, then?
Yeah I thought Dalot was the first sign and that we could possibly guess was to do with him, but even then it's just sort of guesswork from our point of view.
Looking at how things are at the moment, I'd think a head of scouting would still work, it's not like he's director of football, he's just finding the talent?

How I feel as well.
So Jose wanted to get rid of guy who’s recruiting for youth teams? Go figure... maybe Jose needed to hug him or some such crap...
Didn't we hire him as a first team scout?
Young, on the cusp but still in need of coaching to realize the obvious potential, I mean he was behind Pogba, Coman and Dybala being signed by Juve..
Yeah he's first team scout I believe.
