Yeah, Vitinha, Neves, Ruiz, Barcola, Dembele, Doue, Lee, Pacho are definitely good signings.
But at the same time, Campos spent 200m€ on Kolo Muani, Ramos and Ekitike and that could have completely derailled Luis Enrique's tenure.
PSG Sporting Director Luis Campos is in ADVANCED talks to join Manchester United.| errr no he’s not
- Thread starter Hoof the ball
- Start date
-
Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

He was never coming plus only likes a 433 system so Ruben would have been on his way out, now he con over see our complete fall from grace with a 30 point relegation next season?
No new DOF would put up with Berrada who has no on the pitch experience making football decisions!

This isn't twitter, you don't have to beg for clicks mate

Would’ve been amazing if he brought Enrique with him.
How credible is Jacobs though?
I hate Ben Jacobs!
Amen
He is Tier 2, I believe. I'm not entirely sure what that means but Tier 2
Ben Jacobs is the Eddie Hearn of journalists.
Too many cooks
Guy doesn’t rate the sauce.
Though his list has some ratings I’d disagree with.

Luckhurst should be Tier F/U in terms of grades. Can't think of anything he does well, from transfers to in-club news to ratings, except generate angry clicks and BTL comments for the M.U.N...
spoil the sauce
Welcome, Krampos
Dan Ashworth of France? What could go wrong.
Several prominent journos including Romano have poured cold water on this.
Oh this thread is still here
It's all fun and games living in Monaco and Paris doing business but can he make a proper handshake on a rainy day in Stoke?
Any proper footballing upper management person will tolerate 15 mins max of amorim formation before getting an aneurysm.
Never go into a gentleman's agreement with wet hands
Any proper footballing upper management person will know that the formation and Amorim are not the problems we have. How did these players do under ETH’s lovely 4231 formation? Fans are just too reactive after a loss.
Florentina Perez using his son to disrupt our Europa league dominance is a really low blow. What a sad little life.
I knew this would end in tiers
Romano has said there's nothing into it.
No chance this was ever happening.
No doubt he falls out with the board and manager having ideas that don’t fit with their direction. One things for sure we need to stop managers making decisions on transfers.
Campos is amazing but he won’t come here. Vivell has taken up that role. Campos also demands his clubs appoint, I believe, 12 ‘super scouts’. We’ve just cut down our scouting set up but have like 80 regular scouts. There would be way too much upheaval to accommodate Campos and his team.
Edit the title? Super misleading with a shoddy sauce.
Too good to be true
Quality control
Ok amorim.
That would be quite the jump for him, considering he’s been the pointman of turning PSG away from Real Madrid Galactico tribute team to the French Bayern Munich, to very positive results.
I still think Ashworth’s replacement isn’t going to be a like for like role-wise and will probably be something else, since I believe Berrada is more hands on in the football side of things than initially thought and Wilcox is good enough to step up from his original hired level, as well as Vivell being liked enough to be kept on beyond his fixed term contract.

If he would end up joining, could he lure Vitinha, Mendes or Hakimi to us one day? They would suit us so much. Or Desire Doue.
None of them are in with a shout of being called an elite director of football.
Berrado as CEO makes sense - not at all qualified to run the football side. Wilcox has next to no experience in the top football job, a few months at Southampton. I think vivell is on a fixed term contract and seems to be another downstream recruitment expert. We desperately need someone to run the football side of the club - ridiculous that they haven't organised that side of things yet
Just above tailor, way better than soldier or spy.
Wasn't he dof? Not that I know the difference however
We're sink or swim with Wilcox, Berrada and Vivell for the summer. Highly doubt we'll make any more changes here.
But generally football is a bit of an old boys club and having a well connected sporting director with lots of relationships with agents, other sporting directors etc. is an asset. For example, you could do things like have one of your buddies enquire for a player and get quoted a price without United / PL tax and that gives you some bargaining strength with other parties. You could get calls from your buddies bringing you promising players - the Jorge Mendes / Wolves situation is one such example. He has such a good relationship with Wolves that they'll probably replace Cunha with a Neto type player fairly easily.
Not an emergency for now but something to consider for us with guys like Campos.
