Blacky – Yeah that was at the stage where Mata and Silva had almost identical goals and assists stats. Mata then dropped off massively and Silva got better with age.
But as Neville said earlier Sesko hasn’t been convincing since joining and for £74m or whatever it was you expect more from players. But he’s in very good form now and looks like his fitness levels are fully up to speed, his finishing has improved massively as well. It’s called saying what you see mate. At the beginning he was shite and now he’s not. Based on form and progress views can be changed over time. So if someone starts off shite you can say so. But then when they improve you can also say that.
Unlike you whereby even if Mbeumo scores 30 goals for us you wouldn’t be able to praise him because you were against his signing from the start – so you have to stick to that narrative now for the rest of time for some reason!
Dee – Yes there were discussions at the beginning of the season as to whether we needed up and coming players or established premier league players to take us forward. That’s the decision making criteria that the club went through. Amorim believed we needed ready made PL players for key positions like Watkins up front and Martinez in goal. Whereas the club opted for potential in Sesko and Lammens. When that wasn’t really working out initially there were conversations about whether we had done the right thing. Par for the course really!
