Knockaert, Christie, Arter, then proven Championship performers in Freedman, Taylor, and Colback, then add Scottish International Mckenna to the likes of what we already had in Grabban, Lolley, Worrall, Ameobi, Ribeireo etc. For some reason these players are just not doing it but nots let kid ourselves that they aren't good enough. I reckon those who think that are barking up the wrong tree.
That's type of thinking is pretty much why we're in this mess mate.
E.g. Arter, Colback, Freeman - all good players at this level. Also all totally unfit & in need of a proper pre-season + months getting up to speed. By all means sign them, but also recognize they're quality won't come to the fore for some time, and if you want promotion anytime soon then you need to look elsewhere.
It's those type of key points which our recruitment division constantly miss.
Our recruitment: Soudani a physical powerhouse with goals? Yay!
Alf's view: Ageing player who's reliance on a physical game is gonna really be tested in this league, compared to the flake league he earned his crust in.
MON knew the score, and it's not surprise Ameobi has been one of our better attacking players since he signed. Had he stayed the squad would have been full of players up to the challenge this league presents. The fact we sacked him to sign players like Mir IMO shows how naive some of our top brass are mate.
