2019/20 Marcel Brands

[ForeverBlue92]

Our 2 Strikers have the most goals as a partnership in the whole of Europe.

We play 442 therefore at some point we'll have to make a sub up top / rotate and also a good DOF should factor in if one of Rich or DCL gets injured and out for a few weeks or even months - we need someone to come in and score goals considering our midfield and wide players contribute very little in the way of goals.

As DOF he had a shocker this season - too many druids supping from the fountain of deceit.

Kean hasnt had a run of games tho, so we have no idea how he would have faired, thus it was pointless spending the 70m you wanted us to spend on Callum Wilson to sit on our bench all season.

Last summers window had the shine knocked off it due to Gomes and Gmblammo missing the whole season and our manager having an utter stinker.

Since we appointed a competent manager the squad has shown its more than capable of getting amongst the European places.

Every player Brands has signed has improved the squad without question, every player he bought was better than the player we had.

Thats not even a debate.

Pretty much that's how Brands' gets any decent coverage: "fanatics concocting their own pick and mix of Brands' best signings, while leaving out his utter turkeys, and taking to social media to showcase these creations”'

Ive owned Iwobi.

I havent once tried to hide from it.

95% strike rate tho, that tastes lovely.

 

[Jreverton1]

He's been here for 2 seasons and we've spent as much time in the bottom half of the table as the top half. We retain most of the costly dead wood; and he has added a lot of duff players this season.

Agenda? The facts speak for themselves.

Haha never change Dave. By far the best WUM on here and the most bitterest of blues. Not sure if you could actually handle us winning anything!

Well that's me told.

I won't be covering my genitals in marmite or Brands anymore.

Top 4 was there to be had, Brands added to that squad to make it competitive, then Silva makes an absolute dogs dinner of it for 6 months

He added average players.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Delph was brought in for from the 2 times Champions of England, Sidney is a world cup winning Right Back.

2nd in the form table since Carlo came in suggests the squad was more than good enough.

Delph is rubbish and hardly anyone wanted him and Sidibe was hardly pivotal, was he?

Brands has added a number of average players to the squad and we have suffered because of it.

The last two seasons have been on his watch.

As I kept saying, lets judge the squad under a proper manager, rather than a clueless ferret who was sacked by Watford and relegated Hull.

Why can’t we judge players on their attributes?

The players we knew because they played in the Premier League, Iwobi and Delph, were met with ridicule amongst fans. Who wanted them?

Brands went and lumped £43m on the two of them and stuck us with even more average players on big, expensive contracts.

He’s failed and his position should be under review.

Kean plays like Niasse's son

Delph has cost Ancelotti numerous points and is a liability

Iwobi likewise

Lossl wont be here next summer

I haven't a problem with Brands getting this summer - but if he has a repeat of last summer he should be booted out the door for negligence.

Let it go big nose, you'll feel a lot better.

Pray enlighten us as to exactly how you see him making the kind of improvements you allude to ?

We have a serious amount of deadwood and largely on salary packages that other clubs don't/won't want to pay...
The accounts announced at the AGM suggest that the summer transfer budget is likely to be somewhat limited...

So precisely how does he go about the changes you're demanding ?

We are going to disagree on Delph.

Carlo seems to rate him tho.

Iwobi is the only stinker so far for me, fella doesnt even look like he can play football and we paid big money.

Im willing to admit his mistakes.

Rico, Digne, Gomes, Bernie have all proven their worth, Kean and Gmblammo havent really had a chance to show their worth, Delph was a cheap punt and has been a bit up and down

Brands has spent 92m in his 4 windows here, how can you say hes failed when we could sell Rico alone for that fee?

Which its why its silly to think the powers that be will be reviewing his position, hes doing his job, hes adding value to the squad.

I said we would need 6 very good transfer windows to get the squad where we wanted, as we know he doesnt buy in the winter, but im quite confident we are still on track, big summer coming up for me, not to save his job, but to add the finishing touches to the squad and get it in a position to compete.

We spent over £100 million in the summer mate - that summer window was as bad as anything I've seen from Walsh.

I dont worry about the accounts tbh - if Ancelotti wants the money it'll be available imo. Fans didnt expect that £30 million deal from Usmanov which will help us out FFP wise - I expect a few more suprises amongst the next few months and years from USM.

We wouldn't appoint Ancelotti to give him peanuts to spend imo BUT it has to be spent wisely.
