2020/21 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[Toffe3m4n]

A player coming off the back of a long season and then a long international tournament was never going to be fit to start the season. Yes, he didn't put him on the pitch, but he forced Silva's hand by selling Gueye in the first place and so Silva needed to get a body or two in there to fill that Gueye sized hole in front of the defence.

All roads lead back to Brands on Gbamin. I dont blame the player at all; I blame Brands.

Well of course you do, Dave!

You blame Brands for his injuries? Dave don't be pathetic.

Can I just stop you there a second. Its Dave.

I know,but that's beyond the pale.

i reckon it will come out in todays presser!

Lot of garbage being spouted here. Gbamin was on the radar of Klopp who in the end went for Fabinho, as Mainz would not let him go on the window Klopp was interested.
He was sought after, so all this bad signing by Brands is absolute garbage. He’s just been unlucky with injuries, end of story FFS.

Oh look a sensible post.......

I can’t see any credible sources speaking about any new injury?

Standard trolling. Like GOT click bait.

Unless someone actually asks Ancelotti directly at the presser later then chances are it's a load of bollocks.

I think Carlo will say: He trained welllll, he is fit and i confirm he start tomorrow lol

I blame him for signing a knackered player to replace one who had just hasd the best season he'd had in that role...thus leaving Silva no alternative other than to play said knackered player early in the season.

All roads lead back to Brands on Gbamin.

With that Trumpesque logic, we wont be able to sign anyone this summer. It’s more contrived than a Giuliana lawsuit.

It's simple cause and effect.

...of all the examples you could have selected, you go for one where absolutely no blame can be accorded to the DoF. It blows your argument directly out of the water and suggests your opinion is without reason, unbalanced, unfair and simply partisan.

I’m not saying you don’t have a case re Brands.

DoF sells key player
DoF buys replacement not 100% fit to start season
Manager has no option but to play 100% fit player
Player gets injured because of fatigue

That's not too difficult to follow, is it?

....I imagine many players are purchased on long-term deals who might not be match fit when they arrive in the summer. Getting them match fit & managing game time is not the responsibility of DoF. I really don’t think it’s part of the criteria to ensure a player is match fit when he signs pre-season.

The major gaff (as far as I’m concerned) is Delph who had a history of hamstring problems. That should be part of the transfer criteria/checklist any responsible DoF considers. Delph should have been given a wide berth, just as James McCarthy should’ve been shifted when his troubles started.

Silva had every option not to rush him in, he could have easily gone 2 up top for that first game at Palace

Selling a player with 3 years left on his contract and who the manager desperately wanted to keep WAS his call. That was the source of the problem. Everything that happened after that flowed from it.
