I'm as tired as anyone here is from selling our best players, but, that frustration aside I still trust the board. There is absolutely zero reason not to. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE PERFECT. Can't believe I have to spell it out like that because you know that's exactly how people will translate this post.
Tend to agree. They've done an immaculate job. Beppe is great, but has weaknesses.
His strengths:
-identifying and buying talent for good deals
-Signing great players on frees
-Making creative deals like those with Cuadrado in order to execute on our market objectives.
-Operating transfer operations early and doing so very effectively.
His weaknesses
-Typically players are let go too easily leading to underwhelming transfer fees or aspects of the deal that are frustrating for fans...For example Vidal sold for too little, Pogba sold, but too much of the fee going to Mino the Hog.
-Conducting business on a time crunch - leads to deals like Hernanes or nothing being done.
-Low balling too much which leads to either 1) teams being put off (Schalke)/ Zenit 2) Another team jumping in and grabbing the prize.
Nobody would doubt that he is excellent though.
