2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Brisan123]

We have Martinez’s 13 million pound centreforward upfront for next season. What’s the problem?

Thats low

 

[Brisan123]

Strker in their mid-20s out of one of the European elite leagues would be prohibitive, yes. But there's a whole number of leagues that fall outside La Liga / the Bundesliga / Serie A and the PL.

This, presumably, is why a specialist like Brands is employed...that they have a great range of knoweledge about what's out there. Surley his methodilogy is not that simplistic that he grubs his way through the discarded players from Europe's top clubs? That's just one avenue he should be exploring. I'd really like to know what his scouting regime is all about, because it looks obvious and limited to me so far.

I am still banging the Pedro from fluminense drum
Marcel however is not listening

No he’s better than that fellow Dave.

He’s far short (currently) of the new Graeme Sharp though.

I place him on the Anichebe/Vaughan/Cadamarteri level.

He makes a nuisance of himself for defenders. There's more to being an Everton player than that. If he's retained as an Everton starter this season it will shatter any notion that we're going forward as a club on the pitch.

Vaughan would have been very decent if not for injuries, Dave.

Disagree. Had enough opportunities to establish as a prem forward.

I’d say he was Vaughan level. Slightly above Cadamarteri.

In other words hardly worth a light!

 

[sixtynineseventy]

Not worth a blow of a rag man's trumpet. Mildly entertaining / amusing though.

21 days now until the first game of the season, while I think Brands is doing a good job I did think by now we might of had a bit more action, mostly on the striker front, I'm sure we are trying though, but 21 days, thats coming around fast

 

[Goat]

Steve Walsh would have already signed up Welbeck and Sturridge on 300k a week deals.

Chill, Marcel got this.

 

[radiostar]

There's nothing there mate. He's is not and never will be a predator. Zero composure, no sense of finding THE most vulnerable position in the box to hurt the opposition.

Let's have him out on loan and / or sold.

Impossible to disagree. DCL is not the answer.

 

[JLW]

We will have a striker by this time next week.

 

[Quim]

Wasn't our first signing last season Richarlison on the 24th July. Very few big signings are made early in the window now, its a game in itself. We sold Lukaku early for 75m a couple of years back and next minute Neymar went and the transfer fees exploded. Although in hindsight 75m was good money.

 

[blueblue]

We will sign a striker this window but I don't believe that it will be our big signing.
I think our big signing will be the wide player, left footed and capable of playing on the right.
I think the striker will be very experienced and used in conjunction with DCL.
I think the manager has created a role for DCL that lots of supporters don't understand or don't want to understand , I think goals will be shared throughout the team rather than being focused around just one player.

If you look at Lukaku, at Everton the focus of the team was to create chances for him and the team was built accordingly , it had success but it is predictable.
At Utd the team was set up differently and Lukaku has struggled.... relatively speaking, as the team has struggles relatively speaking.

Brand,s lad settling into your board promotion, quaffing brandy and cigars with kenwrong....you will learn a lot from them on the dark arts of transfer windows.
