    lets be honest, everyone is speculating one way or the other how we are set up and structured in terms of recruitment as there's no fan representation at the club and no transparency whatsoever from the club about such things. we're all second guessing and going by what's the norm at most clubs of our level but nothing is clear cut.

    some will say we've got 2 scouts and mark lawwell twiddling their thumbs waiting for something to fall into their laps and others say we do extensive due diligence on a long list of targets. the truth might be somewhere in between but anyone saying categorically they know how robust our recruitment processes likely can't back it up with any meaningful evidence *awaits someone presenting said evidence*...

    That's not exactly served us well in some cases.

    I think we also need to move on from Ange and this idea that transfers were all rosey when he was around as well. Its getting a bit tedious the referring back to him across a number of subjects. He's gone.

    I'm pretty sure we have numerous options here as well. The question is if any of them are good enough and have we scouted well - that goes past Rodgers or Ange, it isn't their job to be out there.

    For me this is a preparation signing to take abadas place when he’s sold in summer ovb helps bring depth for title run in aswell

    On this topic, this guy worked for us and tweeted this today. Was the same guy who had mentioned about recommending Hincapie (now at Leverkusen) and us going for Abildgaard instead of Andrey Santos.

    Again, who knows if he's being bitter but it's as close we will get to the views of someone who's been involved in our recruitment process:

    Aye, everything points to him being correct tbh..

    We aren't dynamic at all in the market and it's becoming increasingly worrying how we're run.

    He was still director but not involved, he was in the background, Anges first season.

    It’s not a myth that we * about in the summer and came out the window weaker than we went into it. It’s also not a myth that we are now a third of the way through January and still haven’t brought anyone in, when players should have been lined up ready to go and get them in for the team returning to training. Compare it to when Ange was here. Everyone was ecstatic with how quickly we were operating.

    Aye, so not in a position of real power. Unlike prior to Ange, and unlike now.

    As others have said in the replies to him, probably both. Any idea what sort of position he had at the club?

    He scouted in South America for us apparently. He posts videos of him at South American games all the time so assuming he is still at it, elsewhere.

    Was he responsible for Bernabei, if so then his credit is somewhat diminished..

    On paper he doesn’t look a bad signing, he’s older than Abada but pretty similar stats- goal contribution every 2 games on average.

    Rodgers likes wingers that play on the inside as well so always cutting in on their strong foot. It’s definitely the type Rodgers wants.

    I think the main difference is Rodgers will have the final say but doesn’t take much else to do with it where as Ange wanted certain personalities as well as the ability.

    I actually don't mind him as a signing, good dribbling, technique, first touch and creates chances. The big concern is his history of hamstring injuries.

    If he stays fit and healthy I think he could be a great signing, but it's a fairly big if.

    I'd have preferred Marco Grüll over Kuhn in terms of Rapid Wien players.

    I'm one of the first to call out "project" players, but a fit and healthy Kuhn isn't a project imo, could fit into a starting 11.
