The tinpot league he won, he couldn't last at RB Leipzig in a good league.

Look hope they prove good but I just ain't sure about it, and in all honesty like most stuff its probably a lot of cheap paper talk trying to make articles. Minamino to me would signal that we've got no strategy other than hope for some of Marschs old tinpot league players, he's looked poor the entire time he's been in the PL

On the main thrust of your post I agree, we will have to see how Aaronson and Kristensen perform in a real league, but on Minaminho, not so sure. Klopp rates him even though he hasn't been given much PL time, but with a squad like he has available, is that surprising? He's had 11 appearances, not all starts, and yet put 3 in the net. Not a bad return (compared to Rodrigo with 6 in 31 with many being full matches, or James with 4 from 34). Of the three (2 confirmed, one rumoured) I'd take Minaminho over the others.

Any manager who can only sign players they previously had is a donkey to me.

Need to get a range not just what we can from RB and hope they suddenly all turn into PL quality players after most of their career in the tinpot leagues

Howard Wilkinson did the same as have many other managers so its no real surprise he has gone down the tried and tested route.

Board are backing Marsch - it either goes ok or it goes tits up!

He may know a bit about Kristensen, but he was only at Salzburg for 4 months with Aaronson (and we've been "interested" in him since last summer). I just don't see Marsch having input to these two incoming.

Don't mind commenting on what others see fit to post, it's all about exchange of opinions, but genuinely can't be arsed to comment about rumours of who we are or aren't "interested" in. Made many comments criticising what the club was about to do, called a great many names as a result, proved right in most, wrong in some, can't be arsed to do it all again.

well we don’t know yet that he is only going to sign players he knows.... tho it would seem the most logical place to start

Errrrr, why (the most logical)? Surely the most logical is the best we can get for the positions where we are weakest at the most we can afford, no matter where they come from or who has coached them before? Maybe not.
