£500k paid to Spurs for Etete to be investigated
Best transfer window ever apparently...
Why he was flicking the ball on with nobody running past him I'll never know.
It is one of many gripes though.
Not a Happy Gathering .
Six of Super Steve's signings from the best transfer window ever started.
Our interim manager obviously decided to stake a claim for the gig by selecting a back 5 that would struggle in league one.
A midfield including Sawyers who looks like he can't be arsed most of the time, up front well **** knows??
Who ever comes in has a massive job on their hands, we need to clear out the coaching staff, and half the squad.
I've always thought that you should play your best 11, but for some reason in the cup, playing against a Premier league side, the interim manager decided to play a virtual reserve team and our most skilful natural no 10 out on the wing,
He then gets hooked at half time??
Meet the new boss, as clueless as the last two bosses.
Whatever happened to giving it a go???
I think this is a bit harsh, 500k is peanuts for a young striker., it's about what we paid for Omar Bogle
he's scored at L2 and L1 level and had a very interesting (if somewhat unconventional) player profile in terms of stats.
clearly some areas of his game need improvement, but I wouldn't write him off yet - recent Cardiff teams have made plenty of other more experienced strikers look useless too!
He's scored 3 goals in League One and 3 goals in League Two.
Etete was supposed to replace one of Hugill and Uche. He's the second best striker at the club and he's not ready. He might never be but he's definitely not ready to play Championship football. Worse than Uche was not something I expected to say about our new signings...
Personally I would say those playing the ball too high are more to blame than a young striker who can't reach the bloody thing.
I think there has been the odd good sign from him, against Blackpool I thought he looked lively.
Unfortunately, we aren't renowned for improving players so I would imagine we will release him in a year or two for nothing before he goes on to have a decent career in the championship
