This guy would kill it in the PLBrobbey reminds me "The Thing" from "The fantstic Four"
His decision making is crap. He's just not a smart player.

Judging by his number, I think he's probably a CB.Brobbey reminds me "The Thing" from "The fantstic Four"

Just get Mitrovic if we're going after a striker of this calibre.
To be fair we sacked the two leading scouts in that department, so they are probably currently shut down.
So let me get this straight, Ronaldo is leaving, but it's okay, because we're signing someone called Mr Brobbey.
The way things are going, it may just be worth checking to see if his agent is called Noel Edmonds.

Would rather this guy than Mitrovic since he’s younger. At least we might be able to sell him to Ajax for similar fees if it doesn’t work out. Look at bergwijn.
Same reaction. He looks absolutely awful. This club is dusted if our interest is real.
Mitrovic is a proven goal scorer, will be very interesting how he performs with Ten Hag's system.
Brobby is always the bigger risk.
He's a fecking unit isn't he?
I'd only hope that EtH can work some magic because he's clearly not good enough.

He's not a proven goal scorer at the highest level though.
Not at high level though so this leads Brobbey to a better investment than Mitrovic.
Another Ajax player?
Lazy lazy journos!

fecking hell, this transfer window has gotten weird!
Whosoever is left under that department should resign. Wtf is this rumor? Its infuriating.
Everyone is going to be so disappointed when they find out that ETH is no miracle worker. Apparently he can turn any dogshit player into prime Dinho be it our own player or an Ajax player.
How much would he cost?
He is only 20 and scored a few goals last season, maybe its not a bad idea to have him here.

It's not a bad idea at all. The youtube scouts here talk of finding "hiddem gems" but won't settle for anything less than prime Messi.
So many of our fans are big hypocrites.
They spend so much time whinging about the team not backing the manager, and getting him the players he wants.
But when we get linked to someone that is not a hyped up or a popular name in the market, the same folks start kicking up a fuss about us being desperate and signing bad players as a result.
If EtH wants Brobbey and he's gonna cost <15m, why not?
Lets be honest - If this transfer really happens, it's cause EtH wants him and not becuase the scouts forced this on the manager. So I don't see why us fans should have an issue with it

There's very little of him available online in highlights. If the manager thinks he's got what it takes having spent a few weeks training Rashford and Martial, I'm all for it.
For such a small fee (in today’s climate at least), there is absolutely no harm having a proper striker in our ranks, especially if Ronaldo leaves. The jury is still out on Martial and Rashford, in regards to their consistency, quality and actual best position.
Having a player that Ten Hagg had worked with and trusts for 20m, could end being a good bit of business.
People who slate him are probably ones who have never seen him before, which I don’t admit I have, or ones who forever reason expect us to sign a more established striker. Unfortunately, any decent striker does not seem to want out from anywhere so even if we wanted a player like Schick we’d have to pay >£65m for minimum I imagine.

No risk transfer. Fills the gap with Cavani and Ronaldo gone to have a striker who can hold up play.
This is already starting to feel a bit like one of those failed Barca experiments where they buy 10 Dutch players and get nowhere and then find the next big thing in the next wave of talent once they realise it wasn’t really going anywhere. I love ETH and I think he really won’t take any shite but still. These targets just seem kind of…off
If Ten Han and his staff dont know players around Europe his tenure here is gonna be short.
But it looks like that anyway, unless the recruitment steps up big time
The better question would be WTF the football side of our board do. Our scouting department seems not existent and by the amount of signings we've made so far, they don't seem working hard on that either.
Man Toney is an Andy Cole type signing compared to this.
Im starting to have doubts. I understand he needs players who can pass the ball, be press resistant and work as hard as hell. He can trust these linked players to put in the km but are they actually good enough? I’m really not sure. One or two I think would be totally cool but this is a huge gamble now if things proceed in the same way. It’s just so… meh, especially if we fail on FDJ. I just hope he’s as good of a coach as he’s supposed to be.
I also can’t wait to see what Pereira looks like in preseason for Fullham. They are going to be amazed at what you can get for 10 million quid these days until about half way through the season. Honestly though. This lad is talented. He just needs more games in a role that suits him and he’ll come good. He’s clearly got technique. I think he’ll be a good mid table player from now on. He looked so bloody good as a youngster. I thought he might have WC potential. He was always at least a PL player.

We dont know, they might have given several reports about players, but the board and manager doesnt want them. It's more likely we're going for players that the manager has asked for.
Isn't this the guy that left Ajax for free (Raiola was his agent...) only to return a year later on loan?
If he was willing to shaft the club that molded him then God help us, he's represented by Raiolas cronies which makes him a hard pass, said the same about Haaland who's actually world class too.

Lukaku, Benteke, Heskey, Alitidore. Drawing all the comparisons in this thread.
You missed out Mr Blobby
Hmm. Worried that ETH is underestimating the step up to the premier league.
If we're obeying the manager blindly then we might as well do away of the DOF, the scouts etc. It also gives the manager the impression that he can get away with anything which means that things will automatically degenerate if and when the club decides to say no. That happened under LVG and Moyes as well. You'll expect that the new and improved Manchester United would learn from those mistakes
ETH seems like a post man upfront to occupy space and in this regard Brobbey would be even a better option than Ronaldo. His finishing is crap and no doubt about it , but I sense his presence would light up Rashford, Sancho, and Bruno. If so, why not give it a try ? Just 15M , Amad has cost twice about that and produce nothing. It can't be worse.
btw, he reminds me a bit of Heskey .

Honestly. We apparently quibble over €5-10m for a player as important as FDJ, but then piss €20m up the wall on a punt who is clearly inferior to players we already have.
The real question this summer is are we going to sign more than one player I've ever heard of?!
Hey it's YouTube Professor you disrespectful sir.
I don't need to know any more than that last line if true... Heskey was the (very, very) poor man's Lukaku. Liverpool were almost as much a laughing stock during his time there as we are now
Leave Ajax alone, you brutes!
The guy(Brobbeast) is a someone that has zero knowledge or has zero selfknowedge about his future career. Went on a free transfer to Leipzig from Ajax youth. Hé didn’t want to sign a new contract at Ajax. Then after a couple weeks in (a bit racist) East Germany, he went crying for a transfer back to Ajax. Ajax took him on a loan for the second half of the season. This summer he wants to go back to Ajax and Leipzig’s asking price is at a minimum fee of 15m€. And Ajax are willing to pay it. A boy who came to the ranks of the academie. WTH/F
