2019/20 Marcel Brands

[BirkenheadBlue]

FFS, is there any basis for defending a CB who looks like he runs through treacle when the ball is knocked in behind him and he has to turn and chase?

The feller is appalling. Cant head the ball, cant run.

You can bank on this: Ancelotti wont be playing him when he gets his own CB in.

I suppose there’s a first time for everything eh Dave?

Got booted at Roma, resurfaced back at Sevilla

*got absolutely found out at Roma.

Went back to Sevilla and shelled out actual cash on ex- Newcastle flop and scorer of a huge 2 goals Luuk de Jong. Forever proving that no DoF, including Brands, is perfect.

So we paid £28m then.

If the clauses are triggered, it’ll mean he’s been well worth it.

Ha Ha Ha. Then yeah, I take your point: it defo will "only" be £28M.

 

[PDAWG]

Good to know we’re not jumping to conclusions on a teenager coming into the most difficult league in the world, in a new country whose language he doesn’t speak.

Oh come on mate, he looks like a league 1 striker, Juve must be laughing there heads off getting 30m for this lad

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Ha Ha Ha. Then yeah, I take your point: it defo will "only" be £28M.

Then maybe stop quoting £35m

Yeah but he really doesn’t

Don’t get me wrong, I hoped he’d come straight in and tear it up, but that was always wishful thinking.

Myth

 

[Toffee90]

...not the only one either.

I wouldn't give him a brass farthing.

Sack him and cut our losses.

We are now in a bizarre scenario whereby our manager has potentially more contacts, bigger pulling power and a better track record of signings than our DOF. I know who I would be letting identify the signings. Begs the question; do we even need Marcel?

 

[PDAWG]

Bin him off now before he sets us back another 5 years

 

[ToffeeTim]

Is there any chance of this guy signing an athletic player who can carry the ball?

We are horrific at carrying the ball. The gutless lot just want rid of the ball as soon as they get it.

Did you mean this by any chance:

Ok, £28M then. It's a bargain when you say it fast.

 

[PDAWG]

He's prob sat there now looking at Utds/Arsenal's/Chelsea's bench seeing who he can sign for 50m

I think most of us now know the answer to that one.

He's a spare arse part; effectively sidelined since the Silva sacking.

I hope he's sitting there phoning his agent for a move back to Eredivisie where he belongs.
