Sounds like Brandt has signed for Ajax!?

He really isn't all that anyway. We need some pace in attack and he isn't that guy.

Yep, correct.

Announced on Ajax website.

If you said that before he signed for Ajax, Dave, you would have had more gravitas.

What a surprise. We do have a tendency to pursue targets over a long period, even when it's quite obvious we've been played. It might be unfair on Brandt, but the only reason I can see why he went to Ajax, who are in the Europa League and not the main event, is that he decided that the Premier League might prove to be a step too far, and too physical and athletic for him.

It will be a much quieter life in the Eredivisie. ?
We move on.

Not surprised indeed, Dune. Well summed up.

For me, currently, the 2020/2021 summer window of Raphinha, Rodrigoal, Koch and Llorente is far, far better than this one.

I have said it, Corkey, on many other YouTube vloggers live streams and possibly on here.
He's 30, no sell-on value, never played outside Germany. The fact he has strung us along for a month.


He isn't prem ready. He would get gobbled up in the prem, he's too slow.
He's basically just after a last big payday.
Harry Wilson will do a better job as a 10.

What BV?

That was a shocker of a summer. Rapha is one of the best players ever to pull on the shirt, but the other three were soft as s**** and totally unsuited to PL football.



On Brandt, he obviously fancied an easy ride, and in hindsight maybe fortunate to have missed him. We do hang around a little too long at times over guys who don't really want to come here.

At least there's still a month left of the window. We can now concentrate on alternative targets, like Pavel Sulc, who was suggested last week, only 20 yrs old, but would set us back, say, £15-20M rather than a free agent like Brandt.

Glad re Brandt. Not good enough for Prem.

Frog, re 20/21 summer signings.

Rodrigo scored 30 EPL goals for Leeds United.

Raph is the best Leeds player for the past 25 years.

Koch was decent overall.
