I just hope that it is for Olympiakos and not for us, I suppose we will find out soon...
werent we linked with some french youngster playing in the french second division recently? pretty sure we were. might even have been lower.
We were yes. I hoped that we had moved on from this S**t and got a proper scouting system in place to sign players who know what it takes to play and succeed in the Championship.
I thought we had Tommy J in place? Maybe we've hedging our bets. You can get some good players from France.
But I'd be more liberally with Championship proven players. Or just players who are robust athletes that can play a it.
One thing that struck me when I watched Aitor's (really, it was Warburton's Forest that Aitor inherited...a bit like MoN has inherited Aitor's 2 dimensional team...but that's what happens when you hire and fire half way through the season...which ends up with the same results despite firing 3 managers from positive positions...) team play Villa vs the City Ground.
All of Villa's players were genuine athletes. Faster to the ball. Forwards, getting back to defend. Stronger. More robust physically and mentally to carry out the game plan. Add that to Bruce's stifling tactics and Forest were scurrying around after 'the elves like the hobbits' they were.
At least MoN has started to address the height issue in the squad..?
