Don't understand how anyone can be "happy" we've retained the services of the man who decided Iwobi was worth £30m.

I can understand ambivalence and acceptance of it for stability, but I can't understand any celebration of it. He's been a mixed bag to put it mildly.

I think with previous Managers he will have told them what to do, not now he won’t, that’s for sure

I dont understand how anyone can be unhappy we've retained the services of the man who got James for free.

I'm happy Ancelotti is staying. This thread is about Marcel Brands.

Ajax have the pick of players from around the globe.

Everton competes with Liverpool, the 2 Manchester clubs and 6 or 7 teams from the football pyarmid for youth players.

We have only just finished a transfer ban also.

Overmars bought Seb Haller for 20m last Summer.

Weren't you about Haller at one time? He'll dominate in the Dutch league so it's not a shabby purchase. Yes the youth landscape in the premier league is far more competitive but even Leicester have been churning out notable talents so it's not an excuse. He's not atrocious but Brands is incredibly average and that doesn't suit our aspirations. So yeah overmars probably wasn't offering salvation but there has to be better options at least in my opinion

Which talents have Leicester been churning out?

From what I know only Harvey Barnes has come through their academy?

Ben Chilwell.

So Harvey Barnes and Chilwell versus Ross Barkley and Tom Davies.

No, I'm not saying the quality is the same, but I wouldn't say their academy is churning them out.

Anyway, we, like the majority of teams in this league need to do better with youth.

You also have choudhury and Thomas who aren't superstars by any means but they feature in the squad and that's all I really expect from our academy to offer players that can make some sort of contribution. Even just one exceptional talent like Barnes would also suffice. It's been years since we've had a product make any impact and it was Tom davies. That's embarrassing

It's a shame he's not Director of Football at West Ham to be honest. Cries of BRRRRRAAAAHHHNDS sound much more authentic in Cockney.
