2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Catfish Blues]

Think people were more angry about who he didnt sign.

Angry would be an overstatement, but our pursuit of "Zouma at all costs" was plainly a mistake. As it happens, it's a mistake that, because all our options at centre back have been, more or less fit all season, we've got away with.

I don't think he can hear you mate. Looks like the boss man sent him to the naughty step for a bit at lunchtime.

As for Brands, did well in his first summer, not so great last summer.

Bless his yellow cotton socks.

I'm good with the fact there hasn't been much done - ie, no desperation shown, no smell of Walsh.
They made the signing that mattered.
Carlo will sort the wheat from the chaff. Can't see to much more leeching off the club going on now he's around
With stable foundations at ground level Brands can get on with doing his thing.

What did Dave get tagged for?

I kind of agree with you, but only up to a point - 8/10 for the first summer and 6/10 for the second

Wishing injury on Pickford, who, to remain on topic, wasn't signed by Brands.

Looking through the transfer market in the second, it was a poor window all round.
There really was't anything much decent around that we could of attracted at the time.
What we could have got for a reasonable price could of just ended up being another one added to the heap - and that's the sort of risk they shouldn't have been taking.
Its why Kean was a good signing. It never fit into this.
Thought we should of gone for Wesley, but what do I know, that hasn't turned out that great.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Is Carlo going to run the scouting department, over see the academy, be looking at prospects in all age groups across the world, be managing loans and sales for the academy players, negotiate the commercial side of deals?

Or do we just let him get on with coaching the team and leave all that to the bloke we apparently don’t need?

What a dick he is.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

What a [Poor language removed] he is.

I apologise

The fault lies with koeman 50% Walsh 35% and Brands 15%. Every player the signed last season improved the team. His hands were tied with Gueye and to be fair if Silva would have compromised with a 4 4 2 we wouldn’t have been ‘Crying out for a striker’ Brands only real mistake was not signing a quality centre half. Which has been took care of by Holgate in a sense.

 

[Brisan123]

Be honest lads, do we really need Brands around now we have Don Carlo?

The answer is no.

Pie-chart please mate. I need to see how this incompetence looks.

You cant give Koeman more blame than Walsh.

Walsh was our DoF, the bulk of the blame lies with him, he was the 1 who signed off on everything.

 

[Toffeelover]

That’s his job, no-one says it’s easy or problem free.

Tried to move Niasse on and he just said no comes back to my previous post.

I just can’t believe Walsh signed Klaassen or Martina . But agree with your principle.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Our best players are Richarlison Digne Gomes Bernard Holgate all but one signed by Brands. Next.
