2019/20 Marcel Brands

[bring the ghost on]

@MarcelsGoat
Wether you want to believe it or not Brands messed up big time at the end of the window
He got Lössl on a free to allow country roads out on loan good
He signed Gomes good
He signed Delph for the price Good
He signed Ganas replacement Gbamin good
He signed Kean the striker we needed good
He failed miserably to sign a CB
All his hopes pinned on Zouma or Tomori on loan
Arsenal signing Luiz blindsided him and he had no plan B
He should have had better options
He could have signed Luiz by offering more money and a signing on bonus
As for Zaha he should have had plan B but obviously thought he would get the deal done.
Iwobi despite what Silva said was plan F or G and not the left footed right winger Silva asked for
There were plenty of options available but he was too stubborn to go there
I know it’s about getting the right players for the system but if Zaha and Doucoure were not available he should have other options lined up
Rugani was available as was Umtiti even on loan
Going for the 6th choice CB from United stinks of desperation
The CB from PSV is available on a free and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the last resort
A good start for Brands but a dreadful finish and Silva has rightfully called him out on it

Good, balanced assessment this.

You signed this mate.

If we could use the report function for this sort of thing rather than accusing in threads.

Don't want to sound to dramatic, but I think Brands has killed our season by failing in the transfer window. I have 0 confidence in our squad to do anything but struggle and grind out a mid table finish. Threadbare defence and two kids in attack, we'll get nowhere with that.

Kinda failed on that one

Docoure over Schnerderlin

Zaha over Bernard

Iwobi over Siggurdsson *now likely to be out wide

CB cover

Brands has really cocked our window up those last couple of days the more you assess things.

He done nothing all summer then started flapping around the last few days, utter tool.

No coincidence though that he did well last year but as soon as General Kenwrong was allowed back in the fold our window goes downhill like years gone by.

Absolutely leech that fella is.

You reported a post that was replying to a post of yours that was warned. It’s not our fault if that tipped you into a ban.

Well done, you basically grassed on yourself.

He is utterly to blame for the disgraceful situation we now find ourselves in.

Thats so extreme. Maybe you don't understand the complexity of his job role.

Should be thanking this guy, has made such a positive impact on the club.

What is disgraceful about the situation we now find ourselves in? or, what situation are we now in?

Have I missed sommet?

He was invisible out there, today . In fact , he may as well have not been on the pitch at all

 

[davek]

Brands right now....

 

[Toffe3m4n]

You signed this mate.

Even if he wasn't a 'professional' footballer... what on earth possessed him to snap this?!
