Signed Thauvan for £10m and sold him 2 seasons later for £16.5m. Signed Payet for £8m sold him 2 seasons later for £13.5m. Signed Imbula for £6.5m and sold him 2 seasons later for £18m. Signed Lemina for £3.5m sold him 3 seasons later for £9m. Signed Benjamin Mendy for £3.5m sold him 3 seasons later for £11.5m. Signed Batshuayi for £19m and sold him a couple of seasons later for £35m. A few of those players have gone onto make huge money moves since then as well which I'm sure Marseille profited from. I'm sure he signed some duds as well but it's funny people only pay attention to the negative and assume the worst.
Good points, I accept my contribution about his son being a jailbird and being gunned down wasn't the most positive, I blame Wikipedia
I guess the timing is a concern.
Assuming his job is to go out and sign £19m players and eventually sell them on for £35m … I think we should maybe give him a go
