I wouldn't call them a horrific mess mate. Bang average is the term I settled on.

Iwobi is hardly making a name for himsef here; Richarlison: what description other than ok would you use for a player who decides to turn up once in every 3 games?

You can say someone has done well without saying they are world class.
You can say someone should do better without saying they are absolutely awful.
Apply accordingly to players, managers and directors of Football alike....

Well net spent is a horrific way of judging a club.
I do agree with that.
I mean this is rough math, but if you consider the Moyes years, as I said 13m over his tenure, sorry for using net again, but I dont have total spent.
But since then and again this is rough, but we have spent 50m+ on hiring and firing managers, around 100m on Agent fees and our wage bill has risen from 80m to 142m. There has been some serious money spent at this football club and currently we have gone from Moyes 6th place finish to our current position in 16th and all for ONLY the sum of roughly 600m in wages, 400m in transfer fees, plus the managers money and the Agent fees, over 1 billion pounds to go from 6th to 16th, you gotta love this club.

Scary to think we spent all that and no closer to the top 4
I think its impossible to judge the players Brands has brought in till they :
A) play more than 20minutes
B) play under a manager who will utilise them properly
Also this was never a 12month project.
I think the majority of his knockers are thinking we should have a perfect squad in 12months after spending like a drunken sailor for the last 6 windows.
He bought a whole new midfield in the summer, 2 of which wont be seen for the majority of the season, he bought a young Striker who has seen less game time than Niasse, how the hell is he meant to improve on the bench or in the stands?

Will you accept that he’s at the very least, partially, responsible for his exile?

He bought them for this manager so if they can’t be judged, then Brands should be.
The only player I wouldn’t sell in this squad is Digne, the rest I’m not fussed either way.

But has he? He said from day 1 if you want instant success im not your man but if you want to build I’m your man and he is, he’s buying younger players, he massively lowered the age of the squad and is reducing the wage bill and removing dead wood
yes, I’d seen El Coco manage Wigan FC from mid-table certainties every year to a gaping hole relegation candidates
healed
sniff it
I agree, the wait and see narrative is a flawed argument, if you can’t judge Brands because the players he bought in are injured, a work in progress or are to young and be will be better in a few years, then the same argument, patience and mitigation has to apply to Silva.
