I'm very concerned. I said on here the other day but in his most recent interview with the club when asked about future captains he mentioned Holgate. If he thinks Holgate is the level of player to captain the side I just....
Holgate should be first out the door. He’s had one half decent season and been rubbish other than that and brought it to a new level this season. I wince every time he’s near the ball.
 
The standard of players he buys are poor; they play in Ancelotti's team of necessity. How is he not to blame?

So James and Allan have been brilliant? Are Godfrey. Digne, Doucore, Mina, Richarlison, are poor.

On another thread you blamed Koeman for some players brought in.

Sort yourself out Dave there has to be a DoF to deal with finances, if not Brands, who?
 

Brands hasn't been strong enough. He has to say this is the profile of players we're building the team around and here are the options for positions we've identified.

We have to buy young, fast players with potential sell on value.
 
Totally agree with this. Last summer was symptomatic of our transfer approach in recent years. By all accounts we really wanted Hjojberg, that sort of steady, sitting player that does the dirty work and starts moves off, but when it didn't happen we went for a completely different profile instead of having another player on the list with the same characteristics. We do it all the time, like when we went to Juve to enquire about the workmanlike, experienced, target man Mandzukic and came back with the raw, goalhanging, rookie Kean. We just don't seem to have proper plans in place, we always give the impression that we're just winging it and signing whoever catches our eye.
Or bidding for a flying winger like zaha to then end up with iwobi
 
Harry Kane and Lionel Messi, you can see why Mosh was so eager to triple his wages for the next 3 years.

Think we could see the statue built this Summer you know.
 
Need some players with pace and dynamism in. Too many plodders.
A pacy right back to stretch teams is much needed

I think he's backed the managers and brought players they've agreed with.

There's no way Brands just brings in players that he likes and not what the manager wants/needs.

If that was the case, Carlo wouldn't have got the players he wanted.

Remember he also fought tough and nail to keep Silva in a job.

Blokes a fraud if I've ever seen one. Every single one of us could have scouted the players he has signed here and be paid a lot less for doing so.
