"Clubs usually approach signings two main ways. 1) they sign for the system (the manager). 2) they sign for the project (often not always a seperate from the former). I think the perfect balance is bridging that gap by signing objectively great players whod fit into both dynamics. It sounds simplistic but it really isnt and this is something thats often overlooked in failing projects"
