[Albion] Paul Winstanley joins Chelsea as Director of Global Talent and Transfers

[Not Andy Naylor]

To be fair, I got very emotional about losing Ben Roberts and Bruno. I couldn't give a stuff about some back room bloke pouring over stats all day long.

I will wait to see what happens in January, and hope that Tony Bloom ups the price tags on Trossard and Sanchez.

If Chelsea make any bids, then the Colwill loan becoming permanent should be the first item on the agenda. If they don't agree, end of negotiations.

Really? Based on Saturday I thought he flattered to deceive a little and jury still out.

I think Tony Bloom would be willing to negotiate with them. They pay up, unlike some (City with Cucurella, Newcastle with Ashworth).

But I don't think Brighton are going to sell any key players in January and probably even less likely to PL clubs. The summer window will be a different matter though.

Got to love a USA job title/department... "Global Talent and Transfers" no doubt called "GTAT " by the execs, creaming over their starbucks and danish as they push for "face-time" and thank GW for "reaching out".. Tw@ts

 

[RandyWanger]

Raiding a team like Brighton. Flattering. Hopefully he will unearth the next Ali J or DJ Locadia for them.

Considering he's 19 and that was his first ever start in the PL I don't think he did that badly and was probably one of our better players. There is a massive amount of potential there and certainly worth us making him a permanent signing and developing him for us rather than Chelsea.

Not really concerned about this.

Winstanley, like many others, have been at an incredibly well run club at the right time for their careers. I doubt any of them are particularly special. I do not for one minute think that we will fail to replace any of them with equally competent staff for their roles.

There are a couple of individuals at the club that do seem to be special, though. Tony Bloom and Paul Barber. Losing either of these would be a monoumental blow.

Chelsea are absolutely desperate. I don't think they really know what they are doing. I hope they all fail miserably.

I didn't see him on Saturday, but can confirm that he was one of our best players on Sunday

 

[Live by the sea]

Now officially joined Chelsea . Compensation to BHA in excess of a million .

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Will he be able to approach our network of scouts?

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

Always seemed a bit full of himself on twitter. He always liked loads of tweets praising him and licking his ass. Good riddance.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Will he be able to approach our network of scouts?

Will we be able to stop him?

 

[RandyWanger]

I'm sure they already have

Without the benefit of Star Lizards data and number crunching of stats, will he be any good. I think he might of stuck lucky with Albion because of all the data he had access to.
Time will tell, don't suppose he has a lot to beat if you look at the performances of some of the Chelsea superstars recently

 

[Berty23]

Argus saying seven figure package. What sort of contracts are these people on? Over a million quid for a head of recruitment. Not long ago that over a million quid for a player was amazing for us.

 

[Munchkin]

As I’ve said in a previous post, not a huge loss from within, and a few people having celebratory drinks to mark the occasion.

Many felt he was lucky to keep his job following previous misdemeanours.

I think they have access to some data over in Chelsea as well.

This is interesting, I didn't see this previous post. Where is it?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

It's very carefully hidden, if it even exists.

 

[Munchkin]

Understand that PW won’t be seen as a huge loss to the club and he wasn’t held in that high regard anyway and disliked by quite a few.

I trust they will already have a successor in mind. (Going on Barbers comments following losing GP)

Exactly what I heard. Surprised he survived an incident a few years back around the same time another PW left the club ..
