It seems we may be signing the wrong player on loan from Leeds. Luke Murphy is also available for loan (I gather) and when he signed for Leeds, from Crewe, in July 2013 was considered the best central midfielder in L1 and now at 26 he is in his prime.... does anybody actually plan our player recruitment ??
I have actually seen Botaka play live, I went to see Ajax vs Excelsior during a trip to Amsterdam, not going to lie, he was the only player in the away side who caught my eye. But at the end of the day, he's come to England been less that impressive apparently to Leeds fans, will probably just be another one of these foreign players that we've grown to love down the Valley.
We didn't see enough of him. I saw him play four or five times and he is exciting with a trick or two. Something strange about his lack of chances not one of the coaches we have had since he arrived has rated him enough to make him a regular starter. The consensus among the fans was he must be idle in training. I think he will do you a good job.
Berdich has had his contract terminated. Another failure of Roland's Fantastic European Scouting Network (FESN). Who's left? Tex and Bauer seem set to leave, SArr and Igor out on loan, Ba hasn't been offloaded yet. The list of rubbish signed by FESN is so long that nobody admits to being that scout, although Carol is chief suspect.
Best decision we've made this summer - I'll never forgive him for Preston at home. His sheer laziness cost us 2 goals and he didn't give a crap
Not going to lie - a bit underwhelmed due to the players we were linker with last week, but reinforcements in midfield is a positive. I'd ask my uncle if Henderson is any good, but he will be drunk already (recently discovered fruit cider).
