Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Still out of a job?
Ok Steve, now what about all the players that you would have bought that have done nothing since? Hindsight is great, he should have said this the day he got fired.
Mind you even if we bought these players they would have been useless. File under Vlasic and about 300 other players.
Good, spent 100 million on 3 million pounds worth of players.Still out of a job?
Does he actually expect people to believe him when he spouts about how he was going to sign all the good players?
“Ok so Steve, why did you buy Gylfi Sigurdsson for £45m?”
Reminds me of how Wenger went on about almost signing Ronaldo and Messi for Arsenal.
Football is a huge game and every big club knew all about Haaland for years. How can Walsh claim he wasn’t backed? I think he gets let off for the “Koeman” signings. He wanted Rooney and the others.
Even if he didn’t want those players, it stinks of lack of control and gravitas to be in the DOF role - something Brands seems to have in spades.
I'm sorry but this is total and utter nonsense. He wasn't just a scout, he was assistant manager and also in total control of the recruitment side of the club. He built it up from nothing and implemented everything we still run by today To suggest he was just another one of our scouts us beyond laughable. If you don't like what he did there that's fine, but don't attempt to run down what he achieved here.No he wasn’t, he was a scout! Scouts aren’t tasked with building anything, if he was your director of football I’d probably give you it, but he wasn’t. He was just one of many scouts.
Steve Walsh spent 3 weeks walking around Italy with a briefcase full of money and came home with nobody.
Marcel Brands goes to Barca and comes home with 3 players.
So many levels.
Brands signings are our best players, it’s the Walsh duds that are dragging us down to their levelAnd where are we now in the league?
Your statement only works when Brands' signings perform.
Who's to say Haaland would have hit the heights he's hitting now if he signed for Everton anyway.
