I can't hate him. He's a decent guy probably doing his best.
He is a total fucking pansy, though, and I've very little respect for him and zero faith he can turn this around.
Shawcross would probably break our transfer record. No way we'd pay that for an English defender in his late 20s. He's exactly what we need, though. Someone to slap the likes of Janmaat into shape, too.
The criticism's mostly aimed at the club, not him. He's out of his depth and that's not his fault.
If we're talking about his abilities though I must say his complete lack of pace worries me. To overcome that you've got to have it between your ears and he just seems like someone that'd take a long time to acquire that.
Honestly, though. Signing solely him for so much money when you've got ready made PL strikers available for less is looking ludicrous. It typifies our brainless recruitment policy. We deserve relegation on the back of such decisions.
Hit and miss? I hope you meant that literally instead of in the metaphorical sense. He has 3 goals. It's nearly January. His finishing's been crap so far.
Not really irony, is it? Back then we were the 3rd best team in the country with an exceptional midfield 4 of Robert, Speed, Dyer and Solano. Now we're rightfully 17th with Anita and Colback stinking the show up every other week.
It's a decent size, which is what Gorilla meant.
It really is the pits between the seating and the turnstiles, mind. I brought some Leeds mates to SJP about a decade ago and they wandered round in amazement.
