Naylor’s just updated and said Winstanley is on Gardening Leave.

Their Director of Football Rasmus Ankersen is the one driving the appointment. Apparently he wanted Jones in at Brentford, before they appointed Thomas Frank.

Boehly has also said he wants a multi club approach with one recruitment team working across all clubs. Idea is to sign promising players and move them through it and eventually onto Chelsea.

Nathan Jones is the early favourite to take over.

I’m reading the original quote, and my brains translating it as meaning “We’re signing David Datro Fofana in January and then loaning them straight out to USG”.

The jump from the Austrian league to the Prem is massive. He’d benefit massively from a year in Belgium…

It’ll be harder than some of our recent South American signings. No full international caps (he’s played for Argentina u-20s) and he hasn’t played in the Copa Libertadores. Argument we could ask for special dispensation as he’s arguably ‘Argentinas greatest prospect’ and is getting regular...

He’s signed.

MM can also play as a left back and right back, so gives in-game tactical flexibility.

If our interest is true then it likely means Colwill is headed back to Chelsea come January.

Chelsea’s will not depend on one person either. Winstanley will have knowledge, experience and know who are contacts are in that region. Yes we have a pathway, but Boehly is looking at a Portuguese club to become Chelsea’s development club. That’s going to be a much easier adjustment for some...

It’s exactly because of our identification of players like Caicedo, Enciso and Buonannote that Winstanley is being recruited. Picking up those highly rated South American wonder kids is going to get a whole lot harder.

I think we need someone in addition still. Perfect replacement would be Scott McLachlan who is available and is very highly rated. He was at Chelsea for 11 years, recently linked to Palace.

No. It’s widely known that Boehly is after a club abroad in which they can send players to. It’s more than just our personal they are taking, they’re taking our ways of finding and developing talent.

Yes. It’s been a very difficult run of fixtures for him, but we’re still moving in the right direction and more importantly playing well. There’s also no guarantee that we wouldn’t have had similar results if Potter had stayed.

They also already offer a vegetable tagine in the North Stand.

Reports in South America are saying we’re back in touch over making the move happen. Rosario want us to improve on our $6m basic, plus $6m potential add ons though. Balls in our court presently.

This is an interesting read, seems he was more than just a goalkeeping coach at Barca and was instead fundamental in establishing goalkeepers play as a sweeper keeper throughout Barca’s youth set up. https://www.fcbarcelona.fr/fr/actualites/984245/barca-dna-also-present-in-goal/amp

Rumour is he’s now signed for Wolves, 5m transfer fee.

Tifos before games, a drum and someone in the north stand with a microphone to make sure we’re all singing the same song.
