SweeperKeeper Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Do we need a player in CM right now? No. Is he a guaranteed success? No. Has he got anything in common with Gonzales, Kokos and Sefil other than being Black, French and having a surname which Roy will struggle with? No. He's played more matches at the top two levels of French football than most of our squad have at league level. He's not a youngster with no experience, or someone with hardly a game outside the French amateur leagues. However, he'll get a significantly harder time off most Latics fans than local lads who can't pass, can't tackle, can't keep position and have barely played a game above League Two. One minute we need experience and height in midfield. Then we sign a six footer with top flight experience, and that's a disaster. Who did you expect us to sign - a starter at Championship level? One thing's clear, he's failed here from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four goals a season at the bottom of the Australian A League is striker material. I'm not saying that he's not worth taking a punt on, but it's hilarious how different the reaction on here is. Had to laugh last week when all the "nice touches" he had were mentioned, but not the touch where he nutmegged himself out for a throw in. Other players wouldn't have got away with that.

SweeperKeeper Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 1 minute ago, singe said: You'll not find me raving about any of the signings. Fair enough. But certain signings at least get the chance to play before being written off Others will get a couple of matches and then be written off forever after pulling out of one tackle And certain players get unlimited excuses off the fans for continual shit performances and calls for "more time to develop" I don't think the current owners have a great eye for a player (massive understatement), but I'm not sure the supporters are much better at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
