Probably going to get linched for this, although Joey was our best player last year IMO he was the best of a bad bunch and not going to be the saviour everyone is setting him up for.
His performances for us in his time here were mostly 'could do better' and he never really found his best position.
Our midfield is dire at the moment with no player really knowing/playing in their best position and this was the case with the same players last year including Joey, so how is he going to be the 'breath of freshair we need'?
He never grabbed a game by the balls and dictated play in the past so why should he now and the only new player to try a partnership with is AJ and he has been toss.
Yes he would be better than we have, but not IMO going to have a big enough impact to change it too much.
