All well and good mate but we have 11 days to bring in another 2-3 key players. I cant see it happening imo.
The scenario where a completely new DOF comes in at the same time as a new manager, new scouts, new CEO in a World Cup year with a shortened window and takes our squad and oversees 11 outs and brings in 7 of the highest quality players in exactly the positions we need all whilst balancing the books is a complete fantasy.
Yes we need more players that’s obvious but it’s not a failing of Brands, we’ve needed these key positions replacing for 5 years yet Brands is expected to do in 4 weeks what Martinez Koeman and Walsh couldn’t do in 5 years?
Richarlison and Digne look to be a far better profile of player than our recent shoddy recruitment. Both are younger with pace and experience in top leagues rather than the mixture of overpriced prem veterans and foreign gambles we took last time.
