Stuart O'Keefe from Crystal Palace for undisclosed fee How do you rate him? http://www.sports-network.co.uk/foo...om-Crystal-Palace-for-undisclosed-fee/9327333
**** knows! We'd hardly heard of him until we bought him. The description is of a type of player we're absolutely desperate for. I would say he represents the only hope for Slade to turn it around for himself. Let me now if you'd prefer me to reply in massive bold letters in future....
Someone with energy in midfield. When describing Gunnarrsson & Whittingham, that adjective isn't one that springs to mind. Let's hope he can energise our central midfield then.
It would also be good to see Adeyemi's energy used constructively. Is it me or does anyone else think he runs around like a chicken with it's head cut off? The lad has ability but it needs channeling in the right direction. He could do with someone alongside him capable of giving him advice and guidance. I hope O'Keefe doesn't fall into the same style. With the right coaching I could see these two forming our defensive midfield. Just when is Dikjacoi due back?
In fairness to Adeyemi you very often end up looking like a headless chicken if you're the only one covering spaces. Anyone who watched Flamini (who is a superb dm) looking a muppet chasing Liverpool's attack 1st half at Anfield the other week. However much you run you can't cover the pitch on your own.
