2020/21 Marcel Brands

[TheSecondComing]

Thank you Marcel

What for?

 

[Country Mac]

Wonder what he’s doing with his month off.

Wonder what he’s doing with his month off.

Lockdown so same as the rest of us.

 

[TheSecondComing]

The issue isn’t always what he’s brought in it’s more the fact he has an inability to move players on and leaves us desperately short in key positions after every summer he’s been here and refuses to fix the problem in January.

Would be very happy to see back of him and his awful rig outs

Baningime and Davies cost nothing and won't be on big money,the rest need to be gone asap,and you've missed Gomes.

Doesn’t matter what they cost or what their wages are. We can’t compete against the likes of Fernandes Pogba Kante Kovacic Fabinho Thiago De Bruyne Partey Ndombele etc. with Tom Davies. It won’t happen. If there’s a big cup game we’re not winning the midfield battle if he’s on the pitch.

The line of ‘he’s cheap and he’s only fourth choice’ is fine but as long as he’s in the squad there’s a chance he plays which is what happens as soon as we have one injury to either Allan or Docuoure.

We have to move to a point where Evertonians aren’t sweating on the availability of one or two players as dependent ton whether we can beat bottom of the table teams at home. ‘Oh god Allan is out, I’m not sure whether we can deal with Sander Berge and John Lundstram’. That sort of stuff is ridiculous. If we want to be a top 6 side we need a raft of 6 central midfielders all of the required quality with pace and power.

The same rules don’t apply to people like him seemingly. He’ll probably be jetting of to Dubai or something.

This.
Our second string has to be PL standard.

Great post, none of this “where will we play them” Buy quality improve and get better.

His strategy was to spend £20m-£30m on players at big Euro clubs who couldn't make the grades there.

What an appalling way of operating. Digne the only success.

It's one thing to find players that will look good in the Dutch League, the PL is a different beast and not everybody can make the step up - Klassens

 

[degsy]

For every 1 player we bring in, we need 2 to go out...for at least the next 18mths and thats without the 8 or so whose contracts run out in June.

A bit harsh, half a gallon of syrup of figs couldn't move some of them

 

[nsno-chris]

Hope he’s in Dubai buzzing off the haters

Looking like an extra from a Village People video, lying on a sun lounger, in his cut down ripped denim shorts, a vest top and flip flops lol

 

[Bigduke1234]

Plus he knows how to drill a defense.

And get players fit

He's out of his depth here. We know it, the board knows it (which is why they took the hiring and firing of managers away from him and why they handed Ancelotti the reins of the last transfer window).
