I would disagree.
Quantity does not equal quality.
Not one player signed last Summer improved the quality of our team.

Yes nowt to to do with top level prof football!
Whilst he made some good signings, it was the choice of manager (Nuno and Conte) that bothered me the most. Neither being the type of manager we need or want.
And that tied into what happened at Juve when he stepped up from transfer guru to running the show.
Binned off Max Allegri to hire an ill-fitting Sarri, then when that blew up replaced him with an underqualified Pirlo.
And then came the shitshow here that ended with Nuno.
Fab's got an eye for a player, but seems to have persistently bad ideas about managers.
I'd just like us to get this next appointment right so we can then chase the correct manager.
I bet we hire a manager before there's another DoF.
If we make a new DoF the first priority, we're probably steering back into Nunoland on the timeline at a minimum.
I suppose he got us a few decent players…
He goes today and Nagelsmann turns down the chavs. Seems convenient.
They turned him down so I read.
Due to his age (35)
Other way round by the sounds of things. Depends who you want to believe.
Yeh, the age thing wouldn't make any sense in the context of "turning him down"......
............You just wouldn't persue him in the first place if that was a factor.
( Were they expecting a 50 year old to turn up to the interview or something? : P )

Much ado about nothing over a saga not worth shaking a spear at. Hardly surprising a wheeler dealer in a DoF position has characteristics likely to come under scrutiny when the wind blows closer to their sails.
Didn't care when he came nor care he has now departed, same goes for ENIC, Levy, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all.

Key word being....squad not team.
When Conte and Paratici came on board, very early on I referred to them as the Italian Fleecers.
Last season then......
Romero, Bentancur, Kulu...... 3 starters that helped elevate us from 7th (the year before) to 4th.
Paratici:
Season 1: improved the starting XI
Season 2: improved the squad.
I was actually backing you up because you mentioned the squad had improved whereas the team was referred to as not having improved. I actually think both have improved but maybe the squad more so.
This illustrates what can happen in football. All 3 for whatever reason have made less of a contribution this season. The exact opposite of what I expected, I thought all 3 would go from strength to strength.
I think previously the other fella was in turn arguing team/not squad...... lol
Whatever way you slice it though; I think the team and squad quality has been improved during his tenure.
21/22 speaks for itself really and there's quite a few seeds that still have yet to blossom.
As a reminder, I believe this was our last starting XI under Alan Sugar:
Walker,
Perry, King, Doherty, Judas
Freund, Clemence, Sicknote, Leonhardsen
Rebrov, Booth
West Ham played a midfield of Carrick, Lampard and Joe Cole.
But ENIC have totally destroyed the club! Give your head a fucking wobble.
