2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Nymzee]

Maybe they should have interviewed Wim Kieft for the Sky Sports show:

“You don’t expect someone like Brands to blame others for failing players whose talent he misjudged. “He should have just said about Maher and Ramselaar: ‘Sorry, I was mistaken and it cost PSV too much money’. If, like PSV, you have a much larger money bag at your disposal than all other Eredivisie clubs apart from Ajax, then it is still easy to shop. Talent recognition is sometimes difficult, but not with PSV’s budget. Now, for the second year, Brands is with Everton, a major club from the Premier League. With a turnover of almost €215m, Everton is seventeen of the richest clubs in the world. Nevertheless, the presence of the Dutch technical director Brands is by no means a guarantee of success. Although he can buy almost any player that he wants and has attracted many players without producing results."

What's the difference in your picking out a quote from someone being negative about him as it is for one of us to find a quote from someone being positive about him?

You've never heard of Wim Kieft until today... But you dug a quote that suits your agenda and now he's gospel.

 

[Nymzee]

Hang on, wait a minute...

Wim Kieft: Successful Eredivisie striker who went on to be a coke-addict pundit.

or

RVN: Successful WORLD striker who went on to be a coach.

Hm...

Hm...

Be fair, I think Kieft is still an academy coach at PSV.

 

[Goat]

Oh God hes brought out Quim Kleft again.

 

[Lelouch]

forget what Louis Van Gaal and Ruud Van Nistelrooy said we're on about one of the greats in the game here; Wim Kieft.

 

[Nymzee]

Be fair, I think Kieft is still an academy coach at PSV.

From what I've read Kieft was an assistant coach in the PSV academy and then swiftly wasn't after Brands came... bitter I suspect.

I know this one.

Is the answer NON ?

No sorry, the word we were looking for is: agenda.

 

[COYBL25]

No sorry, the word we were looking for is: agenda.

It’s okay, he’ll soon move on and produce a photo of Leighton Baines going into Finch Farm dressed in a black cloak, wearing a mask and carrying a bomb

Having done some research here, Adam Maher and Bart Ramselaar cost a combined €10m and played 154 games combined for PSV across 6 years or 25 games a season each.

So a waste of money then

That's also played for Netherlands whilst at PSV Adam Maher and Bart Ramselaar.

Bit harsh on Kieft that. Not that it makes his opinion any more valid but he won the Champions League and the Euros as a player, he wasn't just some journeyman pro.

I was more just pointing out how world renowned the two are.
