Using those names on Wikipedia I recall Feeney, Garbutt, Martina, Niasse, Schneiderlin, Dowell, Baines, Stekelenburg, Tarashaj and Sandro playing for the first team. As I said I might have forgotten someone getting a Europa League run out or something to be fair but I don't think 5 of them have. For City I make it Silva, Bravo, Sane, Garcia, Otamendi, Adarabioyo so only 6. I was counting Latibeaudiere and Diskerud on the basis I'd heard of them and assumed it was because they'd played for City but they haven't so fair enough.

I have no agenda against Brands at all. I've said before I hope he stays and I don't think he's doing a bad job. I just don't really like these posts that make out like he's working miracles for allowing people to retire or their contracts running out.

I was just looking at the list of permanent outs from the summer on wikipedia. The original post was referencing permanent departures so that's what I stuck with.

Getting the players out is the easy bit; despite what some people like to pretend, they aren't that bad. Getting somebody to take a striker who's scored at a decent rate internationally and in the CL isn't the most difficult task in the world. The issue is actually getting anything for them, and he hasn't been great at that. I'm not saying it's easy or he's doing a bad job or anything, but he hasn't really pulled up any trees in terms of getting rid of the dead wood.

Sorry, maybe I got you mistaken with somebody else with the same name.

I evidently got you confused with somebody who could read. I thought the bit that says 'I'm not saying it's easy' would have given away that I didn't think it was easy, but I appreciate words can be difficult.

How convenient. You think it would be hard to shift Tosun if we said we'll pay all his wages and there's no fee involved? Personally I'd say it wouldn't, and seeing as there's clubs interested when that isn't whats on the table, I think it's safe to assume I'm right on that. So that's the pretty simple point being made. Finding someone willing to take him is easy, finding someone to take him and pay the fee/wages that we would like is the hard bit. Willing to use bigger font and/or use smaller words if you're still struggling.

Words I can understand, but when people say 1 thing in 1 sentence and another in the next, it gets hard to follow.

Maybe use less double speak.

Anyway, regards Tosun, I think hes finally ready to leave, which gives us some leeway, the problem in the past was he wasn't willing to give up his cushy life.

What an absolute loads of nonsense double the points we were on at the same points last year, better defensive record, more goals, scored, better football, Digne, Dacoure, Goddfrey, Mina, Iwobi, Richarlison, Allan, James, Gomes, all signed for the first team by Brands. Squad still needs work obviously put we are moving forward at pace at this point finally, on target for a club record 72 points at this stage compared to 49pts last year, we have won 10 games this season already compared to 13 the whole of last season, so to say we are stagnating is nonsense and we need to get out of the habit of loans and panic buys in January they never work.

So you’re happy with 7th with a game in hand against City?

Does it work that way ?
I know if you are born in the six counties you are entitled to an Republic of Ireland (EU) passport ,but I am not sure if it works the other way

I’m not sure to be honest. But I live if I lived in the Republic and wanted to play in the UK, I’d be doing my best to find great uncle Billy from Belfast On the family tree.

I guess a lot more Irish have gone to the UK than the other way round.
