2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Nymzee]

Enlighten me without being obnoxious willing to hear your take on this

"We also had a transfer window planned for this summer with 5 or 6 major purchases" in "2-3 positions".

Nothing else said after that makes me believe this has changed

I read this on sports witness and this is their translation:


“A lot has changed already. We didn’t plan a transfer window this summer with five or six major purchases. We want to strengthen the team in two or three positions and have no extreme wishes. We are no longer in the phase of crazy names.

Doesn’t add up to what Ancelotti has said this weekend in my opinion some mixed messages.

5 or 6 players for 2-3 positions.

Doesnt make sense that unless he intends to sign about 3 CM's.

CB - Gabriel
CB - Silva

CM -
CM -

RB -

thats all I could think of but would leave us short still out wide. Unless he was just using a general phrase of 2-3 like when someone says a couple and may mean more than 2.

Depends on translation then I'm just going off the image at the top of this page.

No, it’s Brands who’s the problem because he can’t find anyone willing to pay 15 million pounds and £100,000 a week for Morgan Schneiderlin.

the bloke who apparently can’t sell players yet got 12 million for Davey Klaassen.

Gana was with us for 3 years, in that time we lost 60 league games.

Thats 20 games a season we lost with him in the side, he was good at what he did and useful for 6 games a season, other than that he ran around a lot.

amen.

brands piping down the haters ‘average age has gone down, capital on the field has increased, and total value of the squad has gone up’.

Do we get a trophy for this?

I admit maybe the translation isnt great but this sounds like incoherant ramble to me.

`We planned for 5 or 6 major purchases to strengthen 2 or 3 positions and have no extreme wishes'.
Err well 5 or 6 big purchases are good but why does he think they will ony stengthen 2 or 3 positions???
And what on earth does no extremen wishes mean??? He is saying they are not after anybody in particular?

`We are no longer in the phase of crazy names.'.
What on earth does that mean? We are making 5 or 6 major signings but none of us will have heard of them?

`Carlo and the owner are behind it.' LOL.

`Capital on the field has increased'. What? Has he looked at the table recenty.

There's some strange statements from jug head there.

Has he been back to Amsterdam lately and had something exotic?

No names were mentioned. So anyone's guess who might join us..

chatting pure wham bars isn’t he?

doesn’t match up with anything Carlo has said.

He won’t stick around long he ain’t coming here to make up the numbers

Not Marcel’s job to win trophies. His job is to improve the squad every year, then it’s up to the managers to get the best out of that squad. It is undeniable that the squad now is better than the one that Walsh and Allardyce left for Brands, absolutely undeniable. It’s not his fault that we had a massive injury crisis last year and that Silva was forced to rely on the same dud players that Walsh bought who have failed us for years. He provided Silva with a whole new midfield and the three of them have barely played, Bernard hasn’t stayed fit much either. Silva had to rely on Schneiderlin Siggurdson and Davies. What manager can do anything what that?
