2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Goat]

"Better".

If Ancelotti can get shut of him and bring his own CB(s) in during the summer he'll do precisely that.

Carlo will get what hes given.

Any good player we sign you will just give Ancelotti the credit for anyway, like you do with Richarlison.

I guess so. He was the club's best player until December or so when others decided to show up; I suppose you could count him as rubbish but seems a little harsh.

He was never my best player.

No CB should ever be brought to this club if they cant turn and accelerate, or if they get themselves pulled out of position regularly, or cant head a ball with any effect.

 

[PhilRegan]

Fingers crossed he's not a false profit

 

[SerenityNigh]

Injured when he came, rubbish after he recovered so both really

Players who've played at center back the last 3 seasons:

M Feeney
R Funes Mori
M Holgate
P Jagielka
M Keane
E Mangala
Y Mina
A Williams
K Zouma

named to team sheets but not started:

T Browning
M Pennington

Would you be a sport @davek and tell me of of these Brands should have kept and played ahead of Mina?

Another usmanov loan?

 

[PhilRegan]

Another usmanov loan?

Or a high value asset sale

 

[14towestham]

Zouma is better than Mina and Mori about par.

Someone on here said that Brands sees Tom Davies as a number 10 attacking midfielder. Having seen a fair amount of Davies this season I find that statement worrying!

Jags I’ll give you, Zouma was good second half of the season last year but still had a lot of ropey moments, Mason is playing well atm and RFM is a laughable shout

People still rating Kurt Zouma in 2020 is proper weird.

Them.

Jags was a great player. Holgate looks to be coming into his own. But there’s about a two year gap between good Jags and good Holgate. I’d like to have seen Zouma stay, but I don’t think that was this club’s choice. RFM... well I liked him but he had mistakes in him and couldn’t impress any of his managers... don’t ever remember him having a 6 month stretch of good games.
