Eikrem's already had his contract terminated and followed Cala through the revolving door. Should have sent Berget with him as a bogof. Hopefully he won't be around for long.
I don't see comparisons with Daehli and Silva. Silva has one thing that if Daehli doesn't have now he never will - pace. Daehli is an easy on the eye, skillful player with a trick or two but his lack of pace and stature means it is unlikely he will succeed at the top level. Also if he was that good wouldn't he be joining a club with more promise than Frieberg? He could find himself relegated 2 seasons in a row.
Morrison has skill and pace but seems reluctant to apply either. I agree he didn't get much of chance with us. However, he is renowned for his poor attitude and perhaps that became evident in his time with us. I didn't see the Wednesday game but in his other, albeit cameo, appearances with his he showed he was good at running across the park with the ball but provided little end product. Possibly limited by lack of movement around him but that hasn't stopped Kadeem Harris comparatively out performing him in his game and a half.
Personally, and this is all about opinions, I have no problem in either of them going. Daehli will release £2m towards new players (assuming Tan doesn't get his mits on the money to reduce his loans) and we are seeing a steadily reducing wage bill which can only be good under FFP.
Now Steve's comment about Div. 1 players coming in. Likely I agree as those are who Slade knows well (although we thought OGS knew his Norwegian players
). If you look at Bournemouth and Brentford, aren't their squads made up mostly of players who came through the divisions with them? Hasn't held them back this season has it? Pritchard at Brentford being the one exception.
But on that basis, if Slade gets the right players who fit with the style he wants to play, is that necessarily a bad thing?
