We now have somebody who relies on contacts and networks with players and agents rather than data and metrics. Choosing a transfer target is always going to be a combination of the two, but in Sanllehi we've got somebody who knows the ins and outs of the transfer market and knows how to drive a deal. He's a lot like David Dein was for us back in the early Wenger years.
Our version of David Gill <ok>

seriously, if I was in a position like them then the job would go like this.

Talk to club with first offer and ask for permission to talk to player.
Talk to player and give him an outline of what we were prepared to offer (along with a view of how we intended to use him and what he could gain from the move).
Tell the player that his agent was his employee and we were prepared to negotiate a contract with him but his payment was down to the player.

If the player was then offered a great contract but didn't like paying his agent fees then we would move on to the next player.


Players need to learn that they are in charge of their lives and the agent is there to advise them (and get well paid for the privilege by the player).

Funny some of your lot were trying to tell me you weren't in for Pepe, despite all the 'Welcome to Liverpool' videos <laugh>
I saw an article weeks before this saying he was coming to us, checked him out on utube and looked like Henry.
 
<laugh> So you don't rate him then ?

I'm torn. He looks unbelievably awkward on the ball but theres a player in there somewhere.

I've said it before, he needs a proper coach like Pep, Klopp or Poch. Not sure Emery will be any use at all. We'll see.

I watched him a couple of times last season when we'd been linked to him. Saw him in the PSG game where Lille destroyed them, Pepe scored and set up two more. I thought at that stage that somebody like PSG, Utd or your lot would come in for him.

Loving the comments saying he's ****, I've never heard of him, he's nothing special, blah blah.... gonna be fun next season seeing how that turns out. :)
