I only ask because I have no problem with meggo being in charge and I don’t think Collins John is someone to get excited about signing.
I like what meggo is doing with the team, ok, ok it isn’t inspiring football but it is what we badly needed. We needed someone to come in and build us up from the back. We needed to stop shipping goals at silly times in games (remember the “we would be in the champions league if it wasn’t for the last 10 minutes” season?). Ive said it before and Ill say it again, Meggo is working to set up a good backbone to the team both in the way they perform and by having quality players forming the spine of the formation. i.e. Fulop, Kisnorbo, Clemence, DJ. Something I remember a certain MON did in the early days before putting together one of our best ever teams.
And yesI do mean DJ, whatever anyone else thinks IMO he is the most naturally gifted footballer we have at the club. He hasn’t been given half a chance since signing and we are certainly not currently playing the type off football to suit him, but given time and enough first team starts with decent service then I reckon he can do the business. We seem to have the defensive side of things set up IMO and therefore its time to work on the midfield.
So therefore my criticism today comes with the signing of CJ. Meggo complains of a squad being much of a muchness and a lack of midfielders but then goes and signs another striker that has struggled with goals and needs the kind of service our current midfield is not capable of giving. A quality attacking midfielder to partner Clemo is what is needed. Ala muzzy and lennon in the old days. These showed that even with relatively poor wide players a quality centre mid can overcome this.
I know people will pick this apart and slag me off but they are just my current opinions.
