But you can't take them with you when you move clubs (Downs' 10 goals last season are worth fuck all to us now, for example). His attributes are garbage. Weak, slow, no work rate, drifts around on the periphery of games. We were told this by people that watched him week in, week out. But we still signed him - presumably because we don't scout anymore, just look at spreadsheets while patting ourselves on the back for being so modern. Edited 16 hours ago by qwertyell 5
saintant Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago He's a good player and will prove it again if we sell him. The fact that we are so badly set up on matchdays is hardly his fault. We bought a good player but so far haven't utilised him to the best of his ability. 2
Toussaint Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago We didn’t need any more fair weather players. We are so data driven that we seem to ignore the character and mental strength of players we sign. 5

When he can't even run or trap a ball then that doesn't wash at all Another cunt stealing a wage

Chalk and cheese to what we're seeing. 1

Chalk and cheese to what we're seeing. I'd rather use my eyes than look at stats. Guly do Prado once scored 10 Championship goals in a season, was he worth £15m? Boro fans told us they weren't bothered if we bought him, we should've listened. 3
Osvaldorama Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago In his defence, I’m not really sure what position he was supposed to be playing today. He was just sort of floating about giving the ball away Maybe a better manager could get something out of him? But not holding my breathe. Absolute stinker of a first touch on him 3
washsaint Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago He is a terrible bloody footballer. He goes missing for long periods when the going gets tought, gives the ball away cheaply and has generally been crap for us. Yet he started ahead of Robinson and Fellows. Madness 4

It's all very well saying he needs the right conditions for him to play well, but if you need a perfect storm just to trap a ball then it doesn't look like £15m well spent. 1

What did he get something like 12 goals and 14 assists last season. Like so many as soon as they pull on a saints shirt they become shit

Britannia Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago I wonder if he is looking for a new agent. Boro are second.

And you can guarantee the moment he leaves us, he will immediately start banging then in again and contributing for his new club. The lack of football acumen and structure here among coaching staff to mould a functioning team of players and get the most out of the players we bring in, is staggeringly bad, to an epic scale. No other business would survive such ridiculously horrendous management. 4
Miltonaggro Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Comments of Azaz being a luxury player. I think he thought he was joining a luxury team. A lot of us thought that.

Yeah he's looked like a terrible player for us, gets completely lost in games which just pass him by , no idea how he was supposed to fit in to the side but can say that about a few of our players

I said this back in August, there was no sign of any strategy or building a team , completely dysfunctional bunch of strangers on the pitch who seem to have no plan , lacking strength in key areas with same mistakes made over and over again 1
