We need an accomploshed footballer that gives us 8 out of 10 performances week in week out...scores goals on a regular basis...in short a Collymore or Gullit....The Carv even though talented he is not a match winner on his own....he needs other talented players with him...if Lolley nd Grabban are marked out ( something that teams started to do now)...he is like a kid running around with nothing to refer to...so...no use to us...many in here wanted him to be replaced by Tomlin!!! ...a player that is going to end up in L1... that shows u how effective he is...
To be fair, it's very difficult to find "match winners on their own" for any amount of money. Colleymore looks to have been a once in a generation signing for Forest. For two years he was arguably the most devastating player in the country. Its a team game and Carvalho, whilst blessed with fantastic individual ability, is a team player. No one -not even Stan won games on their own. Franks team was solid at the back and had good ball players, with pace going forward. The other players helped Stan thrive.
I wish we had the patience to build a team around Carvalho, but in reality we probably don't. Gullit though? Not in he Championship. When you look at the players signed for big money in the Championship it is interesting: McCormack, kodja, Hogan, Neves, Carvalho spring to mind.
