We need better players in almost every position. Somehow got to start signing real quality for low prices. It´s almost an impossible task but that´s what needs to be done.

There´s not many players we´ve bought over the past 3 years who we can sell for a profit and therein lies the problem.
It;s impossible when it's sell to buy and this Brands feller cant sell players on the evidence so far.

We used to do it all the time just a few managers ago...
 
honest question, would you rather a jelavic/tosun style striker, for an over inflated fee just to get someone in?
or
If there isn't someone availablre and affordable that would improve us, wait to the summer and put the effort into a top slotter?
It’s a win win situation for Dave
We sign a Jelavic / Tosun type and he will slate Brands
We sign no one he will slate Brands
We sign a boss 30 goals a season slotter and he will slate Brands for not getting him in the summer
 
Wish we could track his phone, see where he is in the world so we can speculate as to which players we don't know he's signing.
 
Does anyone else wonder if he might struggle in this position without the license and freedom he had recruiting in the Eredivisie? It's a lot more cut throat in the Premiership and players don't get the time or backing that might be awarded over there.

Players signed for outrageous fees before he got here; he won't have a chance to get anywhere near what we paid for them, so we'd have to be willing to take major losses just to shift them.
 
If we dont get a striker in January it's the club saying..."that'll do. We can keep this lot quiet enough and see what we can get in the summer".

Same old make do and mend, amateur mentality.
It could also be the club saying
We believe in what we did in summer
We’re not hound to knee jerk in the winter just because Dave doesn’t like us
We will have a better look next summer when we have a better idea about the squad and there are more realistic opportunities to buy decent
Just maybe
