He’s far worse than Steve Walsh.

I'd agree with loans, as long as its someone with something to prove.
Lads, nobody moves in January. Brands has scoured the globe, trust him.

Matter of time before the rest of you came around.
Carlo has made him look better at his job. I'm not surprised there hasn't been a rush to renew him.
I doubt Moshiri has been impressed by his ability to get a return for the crap Walsh loaded us with and his signings are hit and miss across the board.

TBF there is no way to get a return out of the crap Walsh loaded us with, unless you perhaps sold them as food.
Bernard and Tosun both off. Bolasie gone. That's 300k per-week approx in wages (at least) saved.
Also supposedly getting a fee for Bernard.
We have to go and get somebody. That doesn't make it a panic buy. If there's a plan there for a player in the summer, which there clearly should be, then make a move now.
This all comes back to October. It was a failing then and it's compounded now.
I'm not saying he's to blame for tactics etc. He is, however, supposed to know how to build a squad. Our squad is massively imbalanced and he's added to that issue as much as solved it.

We will never know but it was probably one of the things his job performance was going to be judged on and you can't say he's done a great job there.
Bernard - 120k
Lossl - 30k
Iwobi - £28m fee, reported £70k wages
Kean - £70k wages
Big fees for players who, while they've performed, haven't exactly elevated us massively in the last few years.
Walsh and Koeman and Fat Sam crocked us. Brands has had 3 years and hasn't really managed to do much.

If we have someone in mind who'll improve us, by all means bring them in. I just really hope we've learned our lesson and aren't panicking ourselves into paying idiot money for the likes of Lingard, Alli etc
Five transfer windows and that's the bench, with Sigurdsson and Bolasie still on the payroll to name just two.
Atrocious. You can give him the benefit of the doubt for three windows, but this year he had to get his finger out.
His incomings in the summer were fine, but check the season before - it'll make you wince. Proper dumpster fire, Steve Walsh-esque stuff. I get he had a load of dross to get rid of but FIVE transfer windows and we're still talking about him needing to do it and actively adding to the problem with the likes of Iwobi is ridiculous.

Marce mate, look at the bench.... we had 2 GKs again on the bench, no striker and we couldn’t even fill the 9 available place lol
Who do you think is responsible for us having, midway through the season (exactly midway) when we're in a race for CL and still in the FA Cup...
An 8-man bench (out of a possible 9), featuring two GKs and not one forward.
We have one significant injury of a player who has been a regular for us this season atm too, so can't even blame it on that, and every attacker we have at the club was in the squad today - which is three senior ones, and they all played, and Gordon.
Yes, I'd say Brands takes his fair share of the blame mate.

Iwobi is the only real mistake of that lot; Bernard hasn't done anything but he was free and was worth a go.
If Alli ever signs for us I'm binning off football. Dead serious.
