Id love to know whether players like Fatawu were Glover recruits or Enzo and recommendations from his contacts back at Man City 

Fatawu was 100% Glover, Enzo said the other day.

Does it matter? Recruitment is a team effort and, generally Leicester did quite well.

Well yes because you want your head of recruitment (who will more then likely outlast any manager) to be the one who finds gems. Very encouraging if it was Glover who found Fatawu

The only one I didn't rate was Casadei and

He's gotta have been Enzo's. Stinks of stronzo that one. And Doyle. 

 

The Cannon signing was bizarre. That one stinks of Rudkin owing an agent a favour. 

 

Hermansen, didn't we hear that he was on Man City's radar as a potential long term replacement for Ederson? 

 

Mavididi and Fatawu. That's got our scouting team all over them.

Cannon isn't bizarre, he's a young prospect who's unfortunately had injury problems. When he's played he's looked decent and I reckon he'll still turn out to be a decent striker for us.

Regarding Fatawu:

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-transfer-chief-praised-9244832

 

“We are very happy with Abdul,” Maresca said. “He’s a player that is thanks to Martyn Glover. He’s a player he showed me this summer. When I saw him I said this is the right profile we need. It was Martyn Glover’s idea.”

 

Unfortuantely the same article also says:

 

But amid City’s transfer embargo, Fatawu’s future remains uncertain, even for Maresca. Asked if he knew the situation over a potential permanent move for the 20-year-old, the manager said: “I have no idea. I don’t know what’s going on. It’s complicated.”

It was said in a paper the other day Hermansen was on a list given to the manager by Glover.

Yeah, I wouldnt be surprised if it was. Earlier in the summer we were heavily linked with Zach Steffan and Trafford. Both Man C links we couldn’t/didn’t get over the line. Mads was rumoured and signed very swiftly after long rumours concerning the other two. Perhaps “third” after the managers choices didn’t materialise.

Souttar has to be his worse buy....we were truly robbed by Stoke for 15m..... probably get around 3m for him now

Behave. He would walk into every other defence in this league, will have no shortage of suitors in the summer. Just been very unlucky with game time this year

It's very likely that Rodgers asked the recruitment team for an aerially dominant centre back to help us with our set piece problem. He's not even that bad, just not the right profile for our team.

Really?

 

Even when you consider the remaining book value and his (probably) high wage. I doubt it.

 

I’ve been impressed when I’ve seen him, but he’ll be another we struggle to move on unless it’s loan deals.

Everyone blames Rudkin. I think this man, Martyn Glover, is just as culpable.

He scouts for players under the direction of Rudkin and the Manager.

Abilities, team work, fitness, experience, style, availabilty etc and most of all price.

He doesn’t negotiate prices or contracts he will be given specific positions and profiles of players.
 

He will scout and provide a number of players based on the profile and then the manager and Rudkin will decide who to pursue and Rudkin ultimately responsible for what we pay and contracts etc.

E.G,

Cooper to Rudkin - I need a striker with PL experience

 

Rudkin to Glover-  you've got a week to find a striker with PL experience, available now, free or on loan as it looks like we might get done for PSR .

 

Glover to Rudkin to Cooper = Edouard

Ok, so he's just a sh*t as Rudkin then.
