2019/20 Marcel Brands

[davek]

Is there anyone who'd be happy with the knowledge this feller will have a say in buying another player?

His spending of £250M on players and not remotely have a blend for the manager to work with is astounding.

This league is too big for Brands., The Everton job is way beyond his ability.

 

[MACCA75]

Mina
Digne
Iwobi
Delph
Gomes
Kean
Schneiderlin
Walcott

Not all Brands, but having the bulk of the team be players that weren’t good enough for bigger clubs isn’t working.

Our best players in recent years have been players stepping up with something to prove;

Jags, Lescott, Baines, Coleman, Arteta etc

We need to get back to that.

How long has Mr DKNY got I wonder before Big Carlo turfs him out?

 

[GwladysBlue]

Get out of the club you absolute clown.

I'll never forgive him for selling our most important player to the richest club in the world for 30 million. All because of a supposed gentlemens agreement. What other club with aspirations for top 6 would take this from a player who was under contract?

Thing is we have a top manager now, if Brands isnt up for it he will see right through him.

His 4th transfer window now and we're starting actual matches with two (terrible) right backs in the 11, a midfield of Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson, and banking on DCL to produce the goods up top.

Lot to answer for , we needed a centre half centre mid and a centre forward at the end of last season, we brought in nobody to fill those caps and they still need filling .

This - we keep adding failures to the team. When we sourced them from teams fighting at the top of the championship for their careers - we got better characters in my opinion.

That said, it's not fair to add Walcott and Schneiderlin, they were nothing to do with him.

His cross to DCL alone was far and away better than anything any other outfield player produced. I know everyone likes to hate him because they can’t actually form their own opinions, but ALL the problems we caused them today were caused by walcott. Doesn’t mean he’s brilliant, but credit where it’s due.

still no end product

I got pelters for criticising the Gana deal in the summer and looks worse the more time goes on.

£30 million for a beast 29 year old with stamina to burn from an oil rich club that spent a world record fee on a player only 2 seasons or so back.

Should have been £50-60 million or gtf Jamie Vardy is 32 and Leicester wouldnt sell for £30 million.

Embarassing.

Agree that Walcott contributed more than some others, Siggy and Schnides. That through-ball from him on a counter was truly awful though.

Tomato potato

So a great cross just begging to be headed in isn’t an end product? Got a tomato for a brain by the sound of it. Keep blaming the easy targets though, the likes of Digne and Mina are really showing them up after all.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Where is Monchi these days? Wonder if he would be tempted to line up with Carlo whilst we get shot of this clown?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Time for him to deliver.
