I actually agree B.B.
It’s not his fault. It sounds like he’s told them who and what he wants and they’re taking ages to do it. Again.
And that’s both the players he wants in and the players he wants gone.
It is a bit baffling, Ij, I'll admit.
Brands is a guy who likes complete control. Yet he seems to be taking a back seat (btw, I'm aware it may sound hypocritical of me to say this as I've said before his remit isn't JUST transfers - it's far more than that).
For example, when we signed Richarlison - y'know, our second-highest signing ever and a really big move done relatively quickly (for Everton), why the hell wasn't there a presser with Brands and the player? They have it at Roma, with Monchi. They have it at Sevilla.
It exerts an air of control. I just don't understand why the club do everything so half-arsed. One step forward, two steps back. All the time.
Anyway, I am confident in Silva. Couldn't care less about a result in pre-season, but I do want to see the performances - we didn't get it yesterday (although against Porto in that first half-an-hour we showed the style we'll play, but we need to find that clinical edge).
