Because again, there is no evidence of Ancelotti working at a club without a DoF.
Manager's picking players just for themselves is ultra short term thinking.

Alex Iwobi. Marcel Brands football genius.
Give him a ten year contract because he looks good in a suit.

So if you ask Carlo what right back he’d like for x amount you don’t think he could come up with a name because he’s always worked with a dof? Do me a favour. Managers picking players has worked in English football for 99% of its history and it seemed to work. You still have a scouting system to assist the manager.
A manager lives and dies by the clubs signings. Carlo is being hampered if Brands is picking players too. If his track record was good we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
He has prioritised technical over physical skills and that doesnt work in England unless you are shopping in the elite market.
I never said he couldn't do it but again, it's short term. What if he buys a specific RB for his system, he leaves/get's sacked next year and a new manager comes in thinking "I want the complete opposite type of full-back to this lad".

Did he have a DoF when he was at Chelsea?
That and Marcel will at least spend some time finding a bunch of players that meet the criteria of a certain position that Carlo is looking at.
That way Carlo can look at a bunch of different players before making a final decision.

What is the point in two people picking players when one has shown he’s useless at it?
We've gone from Martinez's "retain possession at all costs" to Koemans "grock in the middle" to Silva's "..." I genuinely don't know to Carlo's. How is that not just ripping up the blueprints every time?

About half of his 'great' signings are two of Silvas ex players at Watford and Digne who played for 3 of the best teams in the world.
What a talent spotter.
I don't think you're grasping this whole long-term strategy I'm going for here.
Doucoure was picked by Brands, Ancelotti hadn't heard of him, he liked the pick, we bought the player, it works.
All the players Brands is slated for signing came when he was picking people for Silva's needs.

Mina has been a good buy as well, Godfrey one of our best in years and Doucoure (Carlo admits he'd never seen him before) has been so, so important. Kean we'll likely make a profit on so that's good business.
He's had far more hits than misses, that's undeniable.

Mina is an average signing for the fee.
Brands was aware of Doucoure because of Silva.
What a great talent spotter. Finds players by watching the world cup and speaking to the old manager.
