Gomes, £22m doesnt look good value now
Gbamin, £25m we will never see if he was worth the money we paid, we defo wont make this outlay back
Fabian Delph, £8.5m and stuck at Everton like leach on massive wages
Bernard, Free but sat on £120k per week
Moise Kean, £25m couldn`t hack it in the PL, loaned out. My turn a profit....
Mina, Is he worth £27m? I seriously doubt we could sell him for that price
The good signings he has made in Allan (30), James (29) and Doucoure (28). Obv they will have little sell on value......
Ben Godfrey has proved he is worth the £20m we paid for him and could potentially be a top PL defender, he certainly has all the attributes. Richarlison and Digne have proved good signings.
Lets look at others :-
Jonas Lossl, Why? Just another waste of a signing fee and wages for a few years
Jarrard Branthwaite, probably one for the future but not pulling trees up at Blackburn in the Championship
Niels Nkounkou, Cant get a game so obv considered not good enough yet
Robin Olson, not as good as Pickford and probably been found out. Would be more wasted money if we signed him permanently.
So I`d say 6 good signings which cost the club £115m and 8 bad signings costing a further £110m and 2 for the future.
But how much are those bad signings stealing from the club each week? Got to be £300k a week or more!

If you read what I stated, Brands negotiated the deals which include contract length, amount of money, options to extend deals, clauses etc. Brands does that not Carlo. Carlo did entice Allan and James, but it's Brands who tied up the deals and dealt with the extras.

Is this nob head staying with us or what? His contract expires in 3 months doesn’t it.
I hope we are looking at getting deals sorted now as opposed to waiting until the summer and dragging it out.

Totally agree on that, but then Arsenal went out and bought Pepe for 70 million plus, so I doubt they laughed for very long.

Add Godfrey and Branthwaite to that wee list.

Thought Brands already had a thread.
And "you're mad" not "your." Don't get me started on the rest.
If you're going to cast aspersions about someone's sanity, at least get your grammar correct.

Lost a Game have we?
Iwobi aside, (shortly followed by Gomes and does Delph even count at £8m?) has he signed anyone bad?
Doucoure, Godfrey were his signings and you could argue they’ve been two of the stand out performers of the season.
We’re still recovering from the half arsed efforts of Walsh and Koeman, it takes time. Any form of Europe is an over achievement.
We’re thin on effective midfielders, but he’s aware and we’ve brought in James, we’ve brought in Doucoure and Allan, we’re improving.
He’ll know what needs sorting is a creative midfielder in the middle, and some wingers who beat the first man.
Iwobi was a panic buy, and we’ll have learned our mistakes from it.
But my question to the OP Is... who we getting in? And then, do you think it’s Brands who instructs Gomes and co, to misplace passes?

And the man finished eighth with those carthorses. West Brom's players are BAD.
Thank you for putting the side's progression in perspective so neatly.

Believe it or not, 50/50 is a pretty good track record. Look at other clubs' signings sometime.
Then there's the fact that Mina was obviously a good signing (starting CB that contributes goals when we *had* to have the signing not bust at the time), that Kean is a perfectly fine signing that we won't lose on, and that the jury is still out on Gbamin - a signing where there was no way to predict what would happen.
If there's a complaint, it's that bricks like Iwobi and Delph have been particularly bad.
Given the constraints that he's under, he's doing well. You want to complain about wasted money and no progress, go look at Woodward's record. Lord only knows where they'd be if Fernandes hadn't been a home run.
We finished that season with 49 points. 26 points from 4th.
We're on 46 points now with 10 games to go. 5 points (+game in hand) from 4th.
