2020/21 Marcel Brands

[stretford blue]

So what's he actually do?

That's a whole new topic, I am at a loss what brands remit is there seems to be far too many cooks wanting there say on transfers with no clear direction for taking the club forward

 

[Kev The Rat]

He's a bit like most of the players he's signed.

Useless, on a huge wedge, no one wants him, so we are stuck with him.

 

[windymiller]

Not even for the youth team? I really hope that ITK from the other night wasn't just on the wind up because I fell for it lol

If he's on the level we'll find out Monday or Tuesday. I can't see us keeping 18 year old Ukrainians and Portugal based Colombians in Heathrow airports indefinitely!

 

[Brownie]

Didn't he say he'd prefer to sign younger, more talented players for higher fees but lower wages? Meanwhile we've done the opposite of that for about half the players he's signed.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He should have been sacked

 

[LeeCarsley]

OUT

 

[Goat]

OUT

2024.

Following up Benitez with Begovic, Townsend and Gray.

That's where his 3 years have taken us.

The Don. lol

His job is to give the manager a good playing squad to compete at the top end of the league.
3 years he’s been here as it stands it’s not looking great but we will see after the window closes.

Nope, the absolute jokes who run this club seen fit to give him a 3 year extension so we actually wanted to be stuck with him.

Probably gave him a pay rise as well.

Closing in on 4 new signings and we’re not even in August. The architect.

If we can add those 4 (for probably under 20m) the 2 or 3 younger players linked (no ideas on fees, but can't imagine they will come to over 5m) and later into the window maybe shift Kean to sign Koulibaly at a reasonable that would be a fantastic window from Brands.

I'm also hoping we would go in for Kamara at Rangers for 7m or whatever and the Russian kid we were linked with.

All for the Koulibaily signing his price could end up being manageable if there's a pattern emerging to shift out some of the dross players and bring in squad players to balance the books.
The concern would be he's Napoli's highest earner ( by a long chalk ) at 195k per week .
Thats a massive rise on our highest earners.
