It pisses me off we have to sign Elliotttt - not because I don't think he will make a positive difference. I think he will add much needed creativity to a very lackluster midfield. What frustrates me is the reason we have to sign him is because Diego has proved to be the waste of space many knew he would be, Toto has barely been deemed good enough for any game time, Ward is hot and cold and Brown has gone MIA.[/quote]
It has been observed that changes in footballing systems can make players less effective.
I will welcome Elliotttt's signing and hope he sparks our season but I also hope that Herbert has learned from the poor recruitment that has necessitated Elliotttt's signing.
[QUOTE=Whitby boy]I also take my hat off to Terry AGAIN - it's not like he can afford to shell out for Elliotttt yet he has dug deep AGAIN.
I also want to see North starting - it is bloody ridiculous to have player of his ability not in the starting 11. We have a grand final CB combination just waiting to get re-established.
Yeah. Good thing the club got rid of McKain. Pity that Al-Nassr only paid $1.5 million for him - a mere 60% of the club's salary cap!
