What's your verdict on Marcel Brands?

[Toffeeslam]

Started to wonder about him when he blew £30m on Iwobi, still not as bad as Walsh who blew tens of millions

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Its time to go

 

[ToffeeTim]

How so, we were clearly trying to sign him

It went round every outlet very quickly so it must have been leaked.

Who on earth leaks that something is close when evidently it was not close. It's amateur hour stuff.

Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and admit. Davek was right about this fella all along.

 

[coollino]

Legend

 

[MikeH72]

A good tightly contested poll there.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Put on a pedestal before actually achieving anything substantial. Not a fan to be honest.

You could use this line for pretty much is everyone associated with the club for the past 10 years tbf

 

[AmericasToffee]

He gotta go

 

[mikel_88]

Not putting it all on ffp players like kenny ect still at the club was his job to find deals for the players. Brands and others have to be looked at

Salmon Butties with cheese… somewhere in between basically but if I had to choose disappointed. His influence has declined as his tenure went on… now he is picking up his own mess.
Digne and Mina was all him. Anyone else in the first team that we can credit to Brands? Doucoure and Godfrey probably. Gray possibly.

If Branthwaite or Nkounkou come good it will go along way to restoring his reputation for finding talent. So far he has spent a lot for recognized but underperforming talent. Don’t need a DOF to do that.

Never a truer word said on this forum. FFS, we had a Carlo Fantastico banner in the stands before he'd even taken charge of his first game.

And? What if it wasn’t the club that leaked it? What if it was his agent or Porto? What did you want the club to do? Say no we aren’t in for him? Wait until 10.59 and say we tried but weren’t successful?

 

[john jako]

He’s the haemorrhoid of this club

 

[trueblue84]

Is everyone remembering to review their vote in the moshiri thread as well?

The club did an embargoed piece on their own website talking about working on 2 or 3 deals! To then on get 1 of them is amateurish. Even their PR was a shambles.

I will never defend the people involved in our recruitment since Moshiri took over. They are totally inept, out of their depth, and ruined the identity of the club
