JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 So we've officially written off a player who has barely played, and hasn't been at full fitness when he has? Right. Someone make that make sense to me please? Premier ram, Reggie Greenwood and GB SPORTS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Someone make that make sense to me please? I think that's kind of part of it. He was supposed to be the big marquee signing, the hotshot in-form goal-scoring winger, the missing piece of the puzzle to kick us on a level (or it certainly felt like that was the intention from the outside). Now, instead of that, he's suddenly not fit, then he's injured, then he's playing but not really fit. Plus he doesn't really seem to fit the gas-out, aggressive pressing type of football that we want to play either. So it kind of feels like, instead of blowing our budget on a difference-maker, we've wasted on it on someone who's struggling to even get in the side.

Thank goodness then that we aren't giving out any long contracts anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstaRam Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Have not really made any difference for us so far. Can only hope that he will kick on sooner rather than later because right now Barkhuizen is still a much better alternative. r_wilcockson and Magicman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not saying he's definitely going to be awful or going to be great. But he's been here a nearly month and has contributed absolutely nothing so far. Surely the intention of signing one of the most productive wingers in the league this season, was that we could just drop him into the side and he would carry on being productive? Not giving him a couple of months to get fit, and maybe we'll see something before the end of the season. That's what's feeding into peoples disappointment with him.

To be honest, I've come to the conclusion that most signgings will struggle with injuries during their first season under Warne. If i'm proven correct, we'll finally see the best out of Ward, Elder, Blackett-Taylor, Washington, etc next season. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which creates an even bigger problem for next season, given the number of out-of-contract players that will need replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) CBT will be fine. He has played 1.5 games in four weeks so he is obviously not fully fit nor up to speed. It’s a shame he has not hit the ground running but there is no point in writing him off. Mendez Laing, Barkhuizen and Wilson have all had spells in the team where things haven’t clicked but they have bounced back and performed. I am pretty confident he will come good.

Turk Thrust Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I’ve been around long enough to have seen new players who have been pretty awful in their first few games but have come good later. Skill will always out Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
