They both finished below us last season without James Rodriguez.
lolI just call BS when I see it - both Allan and Rodriguez are Ancelotti signings and the only one who isnt we are struggling to get over the line according to reports which is telling.
Doucoure is obviously a Brands signing considering we went for him last season before Carlo was here
Some people dont like reality but reality is what I deal in sir.
Allan and Rodriguez are great signings and Brands deserves some praise for getting them over the line - but lets not pretend they would have happened without Ancelotti having managed them previously which has made negotiations for Brands much easier in that regard.
My mate ( RS ) scum. Oh he’s mediocre him.
me I was waiting for you to say that, If you signed him he’s the best ever. Scum the lot of them!
Watford want £35m for him.
Napoli wanted £35m for Allan. We've got him for £25m.
Plenty of questions over Brands. Not saying he's the messiah – Ancelotti is the main pull.
But Ancelotti isn't the one doing the negotiating on the fees.
Gobshites to a man/woman/mutant, and generally clueless about football.
Everyone they sign is werld klasss do Der laaaaaaa.
Lazar markovic* says hi!
* Add your own personal fave werld klass gobshite here - plenty to choose from.
Tbh I was simply analysing the strengths and weaknesses of our DOF 3 years into the job based on his signings to date.
As I said - for players that are surplus to requirements at the europeam giants he's effective in getting them in and also negotiating lower fees for players outside of England.
Whereas so far his weakness seems to be his reluctance in sometimes paying the going rate which tends to be for PL players who naturally go for more money (Zaha, Zouma, Doucoure) and history tells you unless you pay the going rate (Richarlison, Maguire, Chillwell) you risk losing out or needing to look elswhere.
Thats not me shouting Brands OUT or failing to acknowledge the good work hes done getting Allan/James in for lower fees than initially wanted by their clubs.
Anyway - Rodriguez eh

it’s like we already know what they’re saying. We sign a player he’s crap.
They do and he’s class LOL ok
Its seriously eating into my work time.Boss all this!
Any Bluenose who isn't enjoying all this really needs to take a look at what they are doing following us and football in general.
It's an incredible signing, a truly world class player, who the gaffer knows and trusts - what's not to like?!
This goes for Allan as well - can't wait for the vids/contract Dave - limbs everywhere! Get em done blues, please!
Without fail - doesn't matter who it is. I've had rs "mates" telling me we overpaid for richy and he's crap?! Ok son, off you go.
They will have their voodoo dolls of Jimmy out praying for an injury to the lad, I swear it's what they do, and they have the balls to call us bitter and smalltime!
