I’m not a naysayer by any means so I will say this and hope it’s taken in the context that it should be.
Firstly I have no idea what type of player Brobbey is. And even if someone explained it to me in words of three syllables or less I still wouldn’t understand.
What I got from the interview with the Ajax bloke was that most supporters didn’t rate him and were happy to see him go.
As supporters of SAFC we have seen our club take off in ways none of us could ever have imagined. Historically we are a big football club but at my age the only success I have seen was 1973. This time around though I honestly believe that things are different and we will get back to the heights our grandparents knew.
Anyway I was digressing slightly. If we go back to 2014 we signed a player from Manchester City who had already played for England. We all thought he was going to be part of that cohort of players that would at the very least consolidate us in the top league and push us on. Well, we all know what happened.
That player left us for Blackburn Rovers. As a fanbase we were glad to see the back of him. A read of the Blackburn Rovers forums at the time would tell us that we just couldn’t get the best out of him and all it would take was their manager and coaching staff to do what we couldn’t do and get him playing at his best. He was there for a season played 21 times and moved on to Sheffield United. For the Sheffield United forums at the time, read the Blackburn Rovers forums the year before.
He played once for Sheffield United before he decided that Australia may be a better option for him. In Sydney he played for two sides over three years playing 36 times.
We all know the player I’m talking about.
I can guarantee that every club he has been at were happy to see the back of him after wanting to believe he just needed the ‘right club/manager/coach’ to bring out the best in him.
So, I sincerely hope that with Brobbey, SAFC are the club that will do that and with our current setup I wouldn’t bet against it. But let’s not wear rose tinted glasses.

I think this is where we initially have to trust our recruitment people,and then to trust our coaching people,mate. I'm not wearing rose tinted glasses,but,on the face of it,this lad gives us something up front we seem to need,but we don't have.

Can't wait to see him trying to play out from the back - City will need to change as he can not play out from the back if teams are pressing city

He doesn't fit City's profile for a keeper which is baffling that they have even considered him and your 100% right about his playing out from the back.

These fellas are on too good of a wage to give up. Browne supposedly said that he won't leave if it means losing out on his packet. Hence the loans for both him and Roberts who are on 30k a piece (at least)

Anderson is/was only on a reported £3k per week last season, even with an increase due to promotion he'll not be on much more now. There's definitely league one clubs that would pay at least that, but he'll not get it as he doesn't want to play anywhere to show what he can do. I'm not even sure he'll end up in non league, more likely in the kitchen at Macdonald's.

We need to let this Amad dream go.

Unless we comfortably stop up this season…

Imagine that. Amad in the summer and no AFCON to contend with!
