He was a different player on the wing in the second half Saturday.
Great answer. It would have been interesting to see where may have ended up this season with a half competent centre forward on the books. Imagine a Bothroyd or Chris Pike playing centre forward. Etete showed glimpses of potential but Meite, Ugbo and Diedhiou ... well ...
Meite had a few moments this season where he gave a clue as to why he was a successful Championship striker with Reading before his serious injury, but most of the time, he’s been an argument against the line that we had the sixth largest wage bill in the division - if we really were, we wouldn’t be signing players like him.
Thing that isn't being considered is that meite has had a horrendous injury. He might not be able to extend himself anymore. Muscle tears and all that. Bale had the same problem for the last 3 years of his career, Michael Owen as well. Players who rely on explosive, powerful acceleration can get serious problems and if affects their mobility. He isn't the player he was at reading, and I reckon that he's compensating for those Injuries. In fact, he's probably only got a couple more years in him at a decent level.
Always slightly bugs me when there are one or 2 games left and players pick up an injury and are described as being "out for the season"
