I consider it much too early to proclaim him as a genius. Midway through this season if we are still in a playoff or automatic place, I will be very pleased.
It is way too early at the moment, same as it would be if we had lost our first two.
So very true. Also the premiership has moved on massively since we were last there. The gap is bigger now and you have to spend millions just to stand still.
It's certainly not negative. Everyone I can see has seen it as a positive whilst qualifying that by wondering if that was the best place to strengthen.
If Maynard signs, the very last thing I will be worried about is our squad being too big. We will most likely offload a few anyway. If we sign a CB and Maynard then we will get promoted.
