He got the players the coach needed for his system, though, which is what I want from a Sporting Director.

Possibly not. I won't complain if Pazzini is signed, if the price is fair. It seems to have reached the point round here where, after years of overrating Italian players, a large chunk of the forum is going the other way and are being overly critical of some Italians.

Nah. I'm thinking of the guy who is head of recruiting for Liverpool's academy.

I think a Sporting Director would have to be very careful regarding that sort of thing. I thought it was a head scout/academy director Benitez wanted to bring, rather than a GM.

Where are Samp in the league? How does their budget compare to other teams they are competing with?
