I won't be losing any sleep over this.

Not being funny but this line of argument is coming up all the time and it's absolutely batpoo crazy. Do you think Moyes and Martinez used to do all the negotiating of deals themselves?! You can't be paying a director of football just to haggle over prices, there's people already at the club who can do that surely. And if you're better keeping the one you know than getting one you don't, does that mean we should have kept Walsh?There will be no compo Brands is nearing the end of his contract.
Tired of you moaners, want Walsh back? Who will we get to replace Brands? Carlo may point to players but Brands does the finances.
When Bernard, Gomes, Mina and Delph signed, own up which of you guys were rubbing their hands saying good business? Short memories hey? What about the crap he shifted?
You are all the darn same, better to keep the one you know than get some unknown in you don.t know. If there was a better candidate for DOF then Man U would have been in there instead of making noise about our guy.
For the first time since Martinez’s first season it feels like we finally have a manager who can take us forward and he’s getting the players he wants. Why would we want to mess with that? We’ve had years of chopping and changing, it’s time for some stability.
Linked to United on TS.
Yeah, I know.

It's possible tbh although i don't see the links as anymore than paper talk, Brands agent is Raiola and i don't see United being in any hurry to do anything with Mino anytime soon imo.My feeling on this, is I wonder if a lot of these links are coming from Brands, as opposed to United?
He hasn't been given a contract yet and the club according to reports are very relaxed about it. It might seem to me, that Brands himself will want that commitment to be put out in terms of a contract.
I mean, if Roma, or United want to unsettle Brands, why would you bother when he is out of contract in 9 months? It seems far more likely, Brands might be doing this.
I hope we keep Brands, but a 12 month extension, maximum 2 years may be sufficient.
If what you're saying is true, 12 months isn't much of a commitment and wouldn't quash the rumours.My feeling on this, is I wonder if a lot of these links are coming from Brands, as opposed to United?

It put Sidibe in with the Bad list, i have never seen a defensive player who was that bad at defending, fine going forward though.I think if Brands would've been brought in before Walsh we might have a different story to our current squad and financial aspects.
On the whole, Brands has had to firefight against some of the worst set of managers and players (compared to transfer fees) in our history plus the hiring of Marco Silva was a huge shot in the dark though I feel this was a Moshiri requirement.
I think we can appreciate he has worked wonders in getting rid of the very pricey mistakes and he has been very unfortunate that results on the pitch have been some of our worse in decades.
Transfer-wise, he has been very hit and miss for every good signing there has been a bad one.
Good:
Digne
Richarlison
Zouma
Allen
Doucoure
James
Bad:
Bernard
Iwobi
Delph
Jury is out:
Mina
Gomes
Kean
He had spent very well for a club like us and he has failed to address key positions not filled and leaving us with no cover or ageing players who needed to be shifted on.
All in all, he had done well and I hope he tried to make January a priority to address pass problems with our right back, right wing and forward situation.

Who's he got rid of? Bolasie? No. Sigurdsson? No. Tosun? No. Niasse when his contract ran out. Walcott on loan and still paying half his wages. Sandro paid off. Basically he's got rid of Schneiderlin and Klaassen in 3 years. He couldn't sell gloves to eskimos nevermind ice.I think if Brands would've been brought in before Walsh we might have a different story to our current squad and financial aspects.

The argument might be, if a manager is going to push forward, do we want a DOF like Brands and/or does Brands want to commit to that project?
