2019/20 Marcel Brands

[davek]

Ok Dave so I am lying. You know what my respect for you has gone. Calling my credibility into question because you are too stubborn is enough for me. I am telling the truth. My credentials are impeccable. Sorry but now you go on ignore for effectively calling me a liar.

I stated what you said was hearsay and uncorroborated. And it is. You made a claim that Everton/Martinez wanted Demba Ba and then backed it up with a document that showed no such source for that claim. In the end you're relying on a throaway line in the press from an agent (who are very reliable sources of info on which clubs are after their players...as we all know). It is nowhere near enough to support your claim.

If you wish to react to that by placing me on ignore, then so be it.

Davek's got his rod out
Hip hip hip hooray
Davek's got his rod out
It's a shame he's here to stay.

How is there a rod out when I fully accept Brands has done a decent job?

Failing to join in with a desperate man-crush makes you a troll these days. Are we really that desperate at this club that a figure like Brands is cause for celebration? We are in worse shape, psychologically as a fanbase, than I ever thought if that is the case.

You are actually all over the place here dave, Lukaku, Martinez, the way Brands dresses, there will be no next from me.

Luca Digne sends his regards.

Martinez could never.

He didn't need to buy a digne, he already had the best lb in the league

... Oh wait, davek hates baines, how does he defend that one.

D'you know what, if Digne got injured early this season you and everyone else would have your head in your hands at the prospect of a broken down veteran FB stepping in for months. And you know it.

Nope, I've constantly said I hope we retain him, was very happy he signed his contract. But that post was specific to martinez's reign.

But the scenario for this upcoming season remains in play as a danger.

I wouldn't say man-crush Dave. More respect and relief that we seem to have a DOF that seems to have his head screwed on. His first forage into the market was highly successful and the names we are being linked to are higher quality than ever before. His toughest job is to downsize the squad with the main obstacle being the high wages that these players have been given from the previous idiots. More relief than man-crush.

Nope. First year purchases for Martinez were largely inspired (Lukaku/Barry/Deulofeu), money well spent (McCarthy) + Kone and Alcarez (one of whom was a free).

Just signing a £27M dud like Mina blots Brands' copy book.

Lies lies lies
Who did we PURCHASE. In Martinez’s first year

Pretty much what I've stated in terms of the balance between his job on incomings and outgoings.

It's almost as if you want him to get injured the way you're going on

Leave Lovely Lucas Alone!

Would have been more than satisfied to have Baines step in tbh

The irony of you going on about a “man crush” after the 3 years of dross we have read every day from you banging on about Martinez, is nothing short of.....well a bit pathetic is the nicest way I can put it.

You are either fishing or so dense light bends around you, which is it?

I agree with this, Baines should not be our back up option for Digne this season. But Silva has called it and you are 100% in the Silva camp, so I guess we need to get behind his decisions and stop pretending we know better.
