We had so many sliding door moments both during the Bielsa years in the PL and then post Bielsa.

We tried to get in Slot and Iraola who are both tearing it up in the PL.

Player wise we were in for so many who have turned out to be excellent- Watkins, White, Gvardiol, Paquetta, Cunha etc.

It?s not that we didn?t spend money it?s just we didn?t spent it wisely and often over paid.

Rodrigo 30m
Adams 25m
Aaronson 25m
Sinisterra 22m
Rutter 30m (which at the time seemed way too much for that stage of his development).

We seemed to be useful at bringing in free transfers or hidden talent players (the current scouting system seems better at that).

Have to respect the Brighton and Brentford models of identifying value others don?t see and then selling on at a profit whilst keeping the pipeline flowing.
