2019/20 Marcel Brands

Bow to your Sensei @davek

Why?

You think Brands could persuade James to come here?

Brands signs Iwobi's; Ancelotti signs James's.

This transfer window has been a departure from the last two years. No more £30M punts on a player with 'potential'.

The Brands model is in the bin...and he'll follow it in June 2021.

You're in the bin.

You're in the bin.

I'm vindicated, and all the bluster and BS about the 'architect' doing this business wont alter that.

Ancelotti is in charge of spending, and long may it continue.

Dave FFS! Ancelotti wanted James but it was Brands who did the deal, Carlo made a few phone calls then told Brands to make it happen.

We’ve got James Rodriguez for £20 million just stop and think about that for a second.

I would think Ancelotti is not only pulling the strings getting these players but he is also using his experience in helping Brands to negotiate the best price and wage for these players. We are not being taken for mugs now. Watford will have been told to accept our offer or we move on as players will come to Carlo.

I'm laughing at the architect's hod carriers on here and their uttlerly ramshackle response to their man's sidelining during this window.

He’s saved us £90m+ in transfer fees on the 3 players compared to what they were quoted at months ago

While I don't share your complete disdain for Brands, there's no doubting this is Ancelotti's window 100%
Brands might have gotten us a better price perhaps, but the Carlo effect brought them here for sure and I'm fairly sure they are his picks.

You are good for a laugh in a strange way mate. Just chill , and enjoy these moves. We are heading in the right direction.

...that's what I've been saying. Ancelotti identified the player, called his agent, spoke to the player...then Brands asked Moshiri for the cash to get it over the line.

Brands sinks to the level of Contract Dave.

There is no doubt that Brands job is made much easier by having the Carlo factor to attract players.

I'm not sure a man who's handed £200M out for utter rubbish is the one who's conducted negotiations this time around, tbh.

He hasn't spent 200m.

Hes spent 168m.

And Richarlison would recoup most of that.
