What Is The Clubs Transfer Strategy

[Widdow]

Just read the Athletic article by both Taylors. To be honest if you read the whole thing I thought Modesto comes out of it pretty well. A lot of praise for the work with Olympiakos although talks about the conflict of interest. A bit of sensationalist stuff about a bizarre 70 player shortlist in 2019 but he is talked about as likeable and intelligent person with links to find players from Europe. Some of Olys best signings come from Pierre Issa who has Bachirou on his books so that one now makes sense.

If Gary Brazil leads on domestic recruitment and Modesto in European with the manager having a veto in both situations I dont have a problem with that set up. As I have been saying for a long time what is needed most is long term plan to knit it all together

Errr Pierre Issa left Olympiakos a while ago. Bachirou was nothing to do with him. He was a Lamouchi signing.

This was evident, for example, when Forest made Bachirou, a 30-year-old defensive midfielder from Malmo, the first of their 14 signings before the new season. Bachirou, one of Issa’s clients,

So smacks more of a Modesto signing than a Sabri one, however you want them to spin it.
