2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Bluestar]

A big part oc Brands role was meant to Be the U23’s. Unfortunately, we got banned, and unlike literally everyone else, haven’t challenged it and got it reduced.

That's the point though: Ancelotti will have a tried and tested formula on players: agents used, player typology, preferred leagues etc.

Brands is just a gofer. And that's a step down from his remit when first brought in.

Ancelotti has NEVER worked at a club without a DoF.

So his tried and trusted method of signing players is to leave it to his DoF.

No mate. He identifies a player then hands the task of buying them to a DoF. That's a big difference to what Brands signed up for where he would come up with players and run them by the manager.

Can you imagine Ancelotti deferring to someone like Brands?

Really don't understand the faith some of our fans have put in Brands. His record is fairly poor, Richie, Bernie and Gomes aside.

Digne and Mina also.good signings.

JP Gbamin could be good.

Who are the bad ones?

 

[RogerStringpiece1878]

Digne.

Fair.

Tosun, Iwobi, Delph, Walcott, Mina, Sandro, Klaasen etc. None of them have had the impact we wanted and some have been downright awful.

Still unconvinced with Mina and obviously can't really comment on Gbamin yet.

Imagine Ancelotti when Brands tells him he should see £30M of the club's money go on another Iwobi.

FF.

You’ve had a nightmare here.

LOL

He didnt even sign most of those players.

I've probably jumped the gun with Sandro and Tosun. Fair enough.
