Eduardo Macia to West Ham?

[MC Prussian]

That makes for an interesting twist to our summer recruitment policy and a shuffle in that department.

We must have the remaining three to four summer signings lined up already.

 

Wonder who's taking over as Head of Recruitment now... Surely the club must have somebody lined up already. Or did the switch come as a surprise?

Seeing that Macia joined two months after Walsh was gone, how quickly will a replacement be available this time around?

Well shit.

 

Id take Walsh back here now in that case.

[UniFox21]

Never a simple summer transfer window for us

[st albans fox]

The last head of recruitment who left to become DOF .......... remind me how that went .........

[Matt]

Meh

[Gerard]

Any of the ITK's got an inside story on this?

 

Where we happy to let him go?

[Sharpe's Fox]

Don’t think we will be bringing in a replacement I reckon Puel will want control very much like a sort of pound shop Wenger.

[Tuna]

Doubtless we'll have no replacement lined up, no plan and no clues whatsoever.

[Sir Shep]

Meh, can’t do any worse and an opportunity to bring someone decent in. 

[surrifox]

If we'd wanted to keep him I'm pretty sure we would have outbid West Ham - he must be aware how shit they are as a club 

[mozartfox]

Shame they did not poach Rudkin too.

[fairbanksh]

I really don't want Puel to have greater control and the planning seems inept again

I'm sure fans will be kept in the dark as usual but it seems letting Mafia go at a crucial recruitment time smacks of ineptitude

I'm sure their are agreements in place in contracts so that anyone in his position cannot use the knowledge gained with us to help their new club to the detriment of the old in the signing of players. Besides whu may have a completely different set of criteria to ours and the players identified by Macia for us will not suit whu.

 

Also this has been on the cards for a while and we have still signed Pereira.

 

Worry not.

[themightyfin]

He left over a week ago.

Can't see how such an agreement would be enforceable. We can't just say to West Ham you're not allowed to go after any player which we recently had an interest in.

Walsh scouted Gueye as a Kante replacement while he was with us..... first thing he did at Everton was to immediately sign him.

 

......Macia must have been working on a Mahrez replacement for the past year  

What are the chances WH will suddenly sign a promising RW in the next few weeks, while we are still playing hardball with the Mahrez price?

 

Not sure Walsh will be open to coming back either... depends if either side have burnt their bridges..

Either way we need a replacement in ASAP, lets not go through an entire transfer window without a head of recruitment again, or we are screwed.

These geezers jump ship from us to become director of football elsewhere as they know they'll never get the gig with us whilst Jon Rudkin's nose is planted firmly up the Thai's ring pieces.

[Fox92]

Oh... So we're left with just Rudkin then?

 

Go and see if Walsh wants to come back.

[m4DD0gg]

I'm sure Rudkin will do the sterling job he always does. Leicester through and through that man. Complete club hero and a modern day football genius is old rudders. I perish the thought of him ever leaving. 

[Liamlcfc1]

Rob Mackenzie is currently working as DOF at OHL ?

Probably not much chance of Rudders being head hunted and leaving for another club.

So he hasn't left then? Or he has left, but to somewhere else? I'm confused
