2019/20 Marcel Brands

[ForeverBlue92]

I honestly dont know why we abide by FFP anyway - what they gonna do stop us from playing in the CL for a season or transfer ban?

Wouldnt be arsed personally give Carlo the money to have us competing for the Title/ domestic cups and put two fingers up to the corrupt UEFA

Yeah.

I don't know why we even bother fielding 11 players every game, why don't we just field 15 a game, what they gonna do? Dock us points?

Give Carlo the 15 players and put 2 fingers up to the corrupt FA.

Big difference - one is football rules

The other is UEFA's for their own competition we haven't even ever played in.

Couldnt give a toss if we ever played in it personally

Surely that suggests you’re happy with where we are now though? Which you aren’t

 

[TheSecondComing]

As much as I hate UEFA we have to play in it to attract the players we want imo

I think you misread FEE for FREE




Mate if we imagine:

STEP 1: Sell Deadwood + add 3 players

We will have something like this;

Pickford/ Lossl / Virginia
Coleman / Kenny
+ 1 / Keane
Holgate / Mina
Digne / Baines
+1 / Walcott
Gomes / Delph
+1 / Davies / Gbamin
Iwobi / Bernard
Richarlison / Kean
DCL / Gordon

For argument sake lets say we add in:

Gabriel / Sarr / Hojbjerg into that squad


STEP 2

We receive offers for:

Kenny / Keane / Walcott / Delph / Davies / Iwobi / Bernard

If those offers are acceptable then those players are sold and replaced.


Im totally fine with that.

I would say we need two central midfielders unless one of the youngsters comes through

 

[Robert Chambers]

I’m fine with selling deadwood because we have far too much them. The problem is, any money we bring in from selling deadwood will be given to the person who is responsible for brining in a lot of the deadwood.

Brands is not the man to take us forward. His record he is disgraceful.

Who’s the deadwood he’s brought in with his disgraceful record?

 

[Zatara]

I think we'll earmark funds for 3 incomings at CB, CM, RW.

In CM Gomes, Davies, Delph, Gbamin with one new player.

Then if an offer comes in for Delph or Davies i think we'll sell and replace.

Same with Iwobi/Bernard and Kenny/Keane.

 

[Zatara]

Who’s the deadwood he’s brought in with his disgraceful record?

Delph + Iwobi is my guess.

 

[billyblue80]

Theres a player in Iwobi he just needs a run or to play left/as a ten tbh. I don't see us selling him this soon. Delph was a disaster yes.

 

[Robert Chambers]

Delph + Iwobi is my guess.

Likely Kean as well.

 

[Goat]

Delph + Iwobi is my guess.

Deadwood = Players who don't play games and are impossible to shift.

Both Delph and Iwobi play and we could sell them both at any point.

If we sold Iwobi then the fee breakeven would be circa £22.4mil and Delph over £5mil.

Im not sure how easy they would be to shift without taking a hit.

Brands for me hasn’t brought in any deadwood. There’s players who haven’t contributed much yet, but I’m not ready to write them off. The Brands hate from some on here is a strange one. I don’t see anyone claiming he’s a genius who’s revolutionized the club but a couple who say he’s useless and out of his depth and I can’t get my head around it.
