Ok then what about Kenny. Burnley were interested in him last year but Brands wanted 10M and they didn't want to pay it so now we have him with less than a year on his deal and again possibly going for nothing.


Brands is not doing enough in terms of selling players.

Some folk argue that we are letting players go for too little money, can't have it both ways.
 
he has no power now, it's Benitez's show

He's basically a spare part

On a lot of money

Wonder if a UAE club wants him
When you see the team sheet for QPR, picture this....

Come on Dave, it's not his fault we have players geeting injured when playing or on the training ground, which was largely the problwm for the Vila game.

Some are saying benitez should have given younger players a go but Bentiez likes his old hands whicj way do you want it Dave?
 
State of this squad, honestly!
Absolutely miles off of being a team capable of competing for Europe.

No back up for Digne or Richarlison. Townsend and Coleman as our staring right hand side. No strength in depth anywhere other than CB. It’s so so bad!

This is what i would deem to be acceptable quality for our side. Perhaps a little harsh on Gray who thus far has been good! But the point remains - we are missing 2/3 starting quality players and a number of decent back ups. Brands has been so disappointing, there is no way any Everton fan can say he’s done a good job.

What do you call Rondon which was down to Benitez, as was Bergovic, Lonergan, Townsend and Gray.

How can Brands be blamed for both Richis and DCL being injured? Plus Coleman and Pickford?
 
What a load of rubbish so many of come out blaming Brands for a lack of signings, ignoring good signings he has done and deadwood that he has got rid of. He inherited the mess left by Walsh which put us in a difficult financial position. and which he is trying to deal with.

It is not just a question of signings but he has to negotiate the contract which managers steer clear of.

Rondon: Distinctly average player, obviously chosen by Benitez. Not really good enough even to be a back up, I personally don’t think we should be signing any players over 30. However, should have been signed earlier in the window so he was at least match fit. (Not included in my expected quality squad)

Begovic and Lonergan: Nothing players, probably adequate in terms of their positions in the squad. Would have liked to have seen an academy product fill the role of 3rd choice keeper. (Begovic is in my
expected quality squad)

Townsend: Good cheap deal for a half decent player. Have no problem with him being in the squad but he would not start for any other team in the top half of the league and is nowhere near starting quality for us. (Back up in my expected quality squad)

Gray: Another astute buy, looks a very good player. If he can keep up his current form then he deserves to be starting, however there is a strong possibility that this level of performance is unsustainable. (Possibly a little harsh but is a back up in my expected quality squad)

Brands can’t be blamed for the injuries, obviously, but the fact that we have an unfit Rondon as cover for DCL and Iwobi(?) as cover for Richarlison is ridiculous. The drop off in quality is incredible.
Coleman should not be our starting RB - he offers literally zero attacking output and is well past his best. Brands failing to replace him for the last 3 seasons is nothing short of negligence! No issue with Begovic coming in for Pickford - as stated above he is the expected quality of a sub goalkeeper for a mid table team.

It's all his fault. Look at the tat he's assembled in 3 years.
