FM and BK don’t let DOFs have the necessary control. It’s that simple

That might be the case but has it been agreed he brought maupay to the club when he was simply not the type of forward needed.
Its a big call on him that will hang round his neck.

Frank Lampard wanted to ultimately play a possession based game with it one the ground which Maupay is more suited too. The problem is we don't really have the midfield types to play like that. A lot of people said at the time we needed 2 forwards and we signed 1.

Maupay never played as a forward at brighton. He played wide and off wellbeck. Which made it all the stranger when calvert lewin was fit maupay was plonked on the bench.
Plus every man and his dog knew calvert lewin wasnt staying fit. So maupay doesnt count as 1 striker.
Mate i know you want to find a reason. But it was a shocker of a signing knowing full well we needed a central striker with Mr made of glass on the sidelines all the time.
 
Doesn't have that at PSV and is doing okay.
By what measure though?
League position?….he joined them in 22.
Unearthed gems? He’s flogged Gakpo who was already there and one of their stars.
Same with Noni Madueke after apparently saying he wouldn’t sell him.
So basically selling the family silver.
Signed Branthwaite on loan and got bombed out trying for a perm deal.
I’ve no doubt he was hamstrung here but he signed some stinkers and has done nothing but parachute into a successful club and flog their best players. Basically what they’ve been doing for the 5 years before he arrived there anyway.
Personally think he’s a massive fraud regardless of problems he may have had here.

It's not just that but Moshiri is going over his head, well Brands, and adding players with his money he wants, one extreme to the other.
Thelwell is blameless, the problem pre dates him.

The point was that had an open chequebook here and now he doesn't at PSV and they're doing fine

Neither does Thelwell but I bet Brands would've actually signed players in the same circumstances unlike Kopite Kev
 
Brands wanted Johnson. I hope Thelwell has taken note today and finds someone like him to sign for our right wing.

Iwobi a clown in comparison.

Big Kev nearly had Kudus & Danjuma but forces out of his control prevented both from happening.

Why I feel sorry for him he's tried his best all season with one arm tied behind his back

'Nearly' doesn't count for anything in reality though. Might as well say I "nearly" won the lottery... until four numbes I didn't have came out. What we actually ended up with was Maupay in summer and nobody in winter. Actual business done (or lack of it) will be what he is judged on.
 

Didnt know where to put this but reports saying weve been paid the 28mil EUR + 3mil add ons for Kean.

Circa £27.5mil total.
