If you look at the profile of the players Brands has signed so far
All have been young
All ( except Bernard ) have struggled to get game time at clubs on the next level up from us , Barca , Chelsea
All have come to restart their career and to prove a point
I wouldn’t be surprised to see players come in who have just failed to make the first 11 of the elite Real , Barca , PSG , Bayern , Juventus Etc
I think it’s a bit early for Brands to take punts on younger South American’s to hopefully make the grade here
The PL is a different kettle of fish to the Dutch League , see Klassen and Jansen ( Spurs ) for example
So who’s the best RB/ RW/ CF not getting game time at the elite
Every transfer has an element of risk but signing players of the above profile mitigates that risk
We need to make every transfer count ( as happened this summer ) if we want to quickly compete for top 4/6
PS I have Ricarlison down as a Silva signing that Brands agreed to
