2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Dublin blue 75]

95% of DSquared gear is absolutely putrid but no one will admit it because they like the idea of people being impressed that they spent £800 on a t-shirt.

800? The wording on it and the fact a short sleeved shirt is tucked in.. jeez. fashion crime.

Same with Moschino.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

This is caricature. I do acknowledge his good work. Is it enough to hand him a free pass on other things he's done with less professionalism (like loan out a load of players and reduce their value further and store up the problem of getting shut of them to another day)? No.

I wont partake in this cult of a man who's just about ok so far at doing his job.

The managers who purchased the players - and the players themselves bare the responsibility of reduced value and soaking wages from the club. I could agree if he’d invested in them. Sadly, he didn’t and he’s trying his best to maintain their value by loaning them out as no sane person would purchase them. He’s to argue with that.

What would you have done? Or expected when the players are happy on wedge?

Minimum he could have done better on: Lookman to Leipzig for £20M+ - the deal was there, why didn't he take it?

They never went above 16m.

He was never for sale.

Next.

£22M they bid.

Lookman was kept and he was never the same player for us as he was on loan for them.

That's a massive error by your jug headed hero.

Im not gonna argue about a figure neither can prove, the simple fact is that our manager has said countless times hes a player he wants to keep.

So you have gone from why cant he sell the unsaleable players, to why didnt he sell the players that werent even for sale.

PARODY

PARODY

He doesn't know how to sell any one under any circumstance it seems to me.

Sold Klaassen for actual money to someone other than the Hamburglar, which is a miracle as far as I’m concerned.

Prove it Dave, go ed.

 

[Charro]

Hope Moshiri has a word about that shirt.

A fine for serious misconduct at the very least imo.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

Brands said a while back before he officially joined Everton but it was all agreed that Lookman was a player he had on a list that he liked & would want to work with regardless of if Brands was at Everton or not.
Basically, he ain't being sold anytime soon unless the offer is substantial & the notion that Brands has "failed" in selling Lookman is laughable when neither Brands nor Silva want to sell.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I'd like to see a season summary out of him a couple weeks after the last game of the season, even if it's just a write-up on the OS...see what his views are and where he'd like to us to move forward. It'd be something refreshing.

PARODY

His Parody account is great. On one hand he talks incessantly about how we shouldnt even have a DoF because Silva should have more control over the players, and on the other he bemoans we didnt sell a player out from under Silva, who wanted to keep him. If you submitted this stuff straight to The Onion it would go on the front page every week...

 

[PeregrineT]

It's simple: Silva had to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. He did that by getting every last ounce out of DCL and has switched an over-used Richarlison back onto the wing he should never have been taken away from.

In short: dont put the turnaround down to Brands. It happened despite his sitting back and folding his arms back in January.

This summer I want to see Brands step up and properly support this very good manager of ours.

In short: He was right, you were wrong, big shocker. Thanks for the summary Dave.
