A lot has been said about how LvG will improve the team, the style of football, etc. However one additional benefactor of LvGs presence will be Ed Woodward.

Within the game, LvG has some major connections, contacts and friendships, that are invaluable when trying to complete transfers with opposing clubs, etc. Woodward needs to get himself alongside LvG when concluding these deals to simply get himself introduced to these influential people (with little interference or involvement ideally). Should LvG then leave or retire; at least Woodward can then sustain the relationships and continue to develop them himself. Ed Woodwards lack of relationships was a key contributor as to why we couldn't get deals concluded last Summer - Hopefully, alongside LvG, that'll soon change.

What sort of contacts that LVG has can help Woodward out at making deals go through for various players at different clubs?

That's a great shout! He will be well connected with clubs, coaches and agents and should be a whole lot more productive in the market. Let's hope he does the business and we have a busy summer!

Reus 40m
Kroos 30m
Vidal 35m
Hummels 35m
Garay 17m

With player sales and retirements to cut the wage bill the above would be awesome!
