In some ways I feel sorry for VDB as he seems to have been shafted but then it dawns that he did it to try and further his career just by transferring to the Rags. Then there’s the question of why a club pays so much just so he can sit on the bench like a youth player, obviously a mismatch with the manager and those that do the purchases.
What we don’t hear, and should be mentioned, is how the likes of the Rags have spunked hundreds of millions on a system that doesn’t actually work.
I think it shows that Ole has no say in transfer policy.
VDB is a clone of Fernandes, a goal scoring attacking midfielder.
Ole needed a playmaker to feed Fernandes.
So the VDB transfer looks like a total waste (unless Fernandes gets injured).
Long may it last - some clown in charge of transfers who buys duplicates and Ole as the manager out of his depth tactically.
The Rags are rudderless and running in circles and I think Sunday will prove the point.
(and Brennan is just a rag who hates the dippers more than us!)
