Considering he literally hardly ever clears the first man, I wouldn't even call him a set - piece merchant.
Funny though, as when he signed he was billed as being a specialist in this area but he has shown nothing but woeful set piece ability since he has been here, Digne is by far the better out of the two.
2nd highest goal scorer, player with by far the most chances created in the whole squad, 4th in the league, but you claim hes just a set piece merchant.

Do you even football?
I’m taking the set piece merchant as a guy who isn’t the best in terms of mobility and relishes the stop and go game type. Games that become more open he disappears as if he can’t keep up with the run of play
 
Exciting ;)



Did he mention how he came by the info -- seems a bit odd unless he heard from an agency...



I think theyre very different players mate...the only 3 similarities i can think of are;

1 -- Long shots
2 -- Leadership (Gylfi for his country)
3 -- Covering distance per game



Brought a tear to my eye ,)



As much as i think he can achieve this i still think that we need to shift out a good 5 players this window...there needs to be 1 or 2 players brought in to begin the work before the summer...

McCarthy
Schneiderlin
Niasse
Tosun
Gana
Walcott
Sigurdsson

Sell 5 of those and bring in a CM and an attacking player and were nicely placed for the summer.




If Fernandes was performing as he did the last 2 seasons (havent seen him this year aside from highlights) in the prem he'd be one of the best in the league.



Brandalf is the one...if we had, had him during the Martinez reign with some cash i think we would have done better + if before Koeman we would never have appointed him.

Just seeing the quality he has brought in and the aura around him fills me with confidence.



Another beauty with Fernandes is that he's able to play any of the midfield positions and has also looked very good out wide as well...

Would be sexy next to Gomes.



Thats the downer...have to cross our toes.




Some super talent has come from Portugal over the years and their teams have always looked cohesive with some star players in the lineups...

Cant compare to Scotland or even Holland.
Im not sure where he gets his info from but i know he travels abroad quite a lot watching games and speaking to people. I will see him tomorrow as it's back to work for me and he will be in so i will ask him.
 
Its clear since the last window closed we still needed to add to this squad and even more apparent in our last 5/6 games that some of these players are clearly not up to it. So why have we not signed anyone yet? Has Brands been working tirelessly to improve this squad?

Usually there is rumours but there is nothing forthcoming, I don`t think we will sign anyone. The squad as it is will finish bottom half!
 

I'd much prefer the January window was abolished; player valuations are vastly inflated. And close the summer window before the PL season starts.

with palace , burnley and Newcastle recently improving we will be in a very worrying bottome half scrap that could easily end up in relegation. Marco has already over seen one relegation.
 
I'll be honest I've never seen either play, malcolm only went to barca in summer he'll want to try and establish himself I'd imagine, although Mina was only there 6 months I suppose.
The manager at Barca did'nt sign Malcolm and has made it quite clear that he does'nt really fit into his plans. Malcolm seems to want to try and force a way in (understandable i guess but not easy as a certain L Messi is ahead of him) it was always an odd signing, he was nailed on for Roma then Barca came in at the last minute.
