He was just as bad last year and was pretty ordinary the year before. He’s a massive problem and the fact he took up his option rather than us offering an extension, at age 22, in a position we’re light on, suggests the club feels the same.
No he was better last year and his best season was 2023, which is when he signed his current contract. So the option he recently activated would’ve been based on his form at age 21, which is more than he could get based on his current form. That’s why he took the option. If the club didn’t want him they would be treating him the same way they are treating other unwanted players.

What were Penisini’s tackle effectiveness numbers for 2024?

Then what’s the head of recruitment for?
He’s mr invisible as well, but MON closes deals and is responsible for selling the club, which doesn’t seem to have been done well. We hired a list manager who was mr who, when we needed someone with a track record. Doesn’t seem we do hiring that well in that area compared to our peers.

For some reason you defend an area which is faitly obviously not as good as we see most other clubs. I guess it’s for pure arguments sake, surely not because you believe it .

Yes ,but it’s all about alignment, whatever that means for an end result on the field.

Probably says more about the other 14 teams really and how bad they have been going..

Not sure why you are dick riding MON so hard .

You don't need to have spent the most on the football department to be able to develop players from your junior nursery.
It’s purely a troll

If people thought MON was killing it, poubot would be destroying him in this forum - same as penisini

but he has to take the opposite view to the majority, it makes him feel smart and unique - makes you wonder how sad and lonely he must feel in real life to attempt fulfilment through false superiority on the internet.

Yep terms like alignment are things suits say to cover their arse. It’s a positive sounding word but is immeasurable and means sfa.
Synergy, culture, forward thinking, empowerment and direction are other bullshit terms that they like to throw about.
