Transfer Rumour Josh Brownhill

Caolam said:
It never fails to give me a giggle when a name of a player we are reportedly going for comes up and there is the usual cry of “not good enough “. I would ask those who raise that cry to look at where we have been over the last number of years and to look at the performance we put up last week. I dream of Everton buying £100 million players and having a squad of world beaters but it is not realistic. Am I excited by some of the players we are now going to bring in, no not really but I do recognise that the squad we have isn’t anything but in and around 14th place in the Premier League. We need to get ourselves into the top half and secure our future as a solid Premier League team, we need a playing style that will attract better players, we have the ground now we need to build up a squad the appeals to better players. New players don’t need to be world beaters to improve us.

So in summary Josh Brownhill is the answer to improving a team "14th in the table".

Hes never proved competent in this league mate, hes a Twilight player between the championship and lower 5 of the PL.

Hes 30 in December, what is it in his career to date that makes you think hes going to propel a club forward.

The value proposition is give a basically a Championship, consistently relegated PL player a 3 year contract on £5 mill a year approx.

Last year, yes, it made sense, this year no, we have to move on and not reduce standards.

You don’t sign 29 year old championship players and expect them to make to improve the quality of the team.
Signing this quality of player is more likely to ensure we continue to look down rather than up.
This isnt a young prospect we are discussing , it’s a crushingly average Manc reject .

While I posted in this thread I wasn’t specifically talking about Josh Brownhill, I was talking generally. My point stands, you don’t have to be from the very top tier to improve our squad. We have wasted the majority of this window chasing players who don’t want to play for us, we go into the last week or so needing 3 or 4 players in key areas, we all know how well we do when we go into the final phase of the transfer window when we are under pressure. Hopefully we can get a few in over the weekend or early next week.

I agree you don’t have to be from the top tier to improve us .
I wouldn’t mind us taking a punt on Hackney for instance .
But Brownhill has already played in the PL , for multiple seasons and looked very average at best . He has scored 6 PL goals in 111 games.
At 30 years old he isn’t going to improve himself or us. Most of his PL experience revolves around getting relegated, which suggests he was part of the problem not the solution.

We don’t have many average midfielders sadly mate, and we also don’t have loads of money to buy a collection of boss midfielders. People don’t like it, but it’s just a signing that makes sense to arrest the mess our recruitment team have left us in at this moment in time with the window about to close. People are gonna have to swallow some tough pills in the next week or so I’d imagine.

Have you ever bothered to watch Brownhill play ?
All our current midfielders who play in his position are at least his equal.
They are average .
He is slightly below average .
30 year old , no- mark .
There is a world of footballers out there .
Why settle for this non entity?
He won’t improve us , he will command a hefty signing on fee , a substantial wage and would no doubt negotiate at least a 2 year contract.
In one years time we would be on here complaining how we are saddled with this fella for another year and how his wages hamper us improving.
Imagine having a 32 year old Brownhill playing for us 😂
Let him go to the MLS .
