Quote: downtheante "Out of interest, in which particular area has he been mis-handled? I don't mean that as a challenge, I just don't understand. Do you mean bringing him here as a "project" and then only playing him in short spells? Or is it bringing him over as a "quota" player and not ensuring we have a spot for him next year? Or have we mis-handled him on a personal front?
If the Leeds match was anything to go by he seems to be developing as a project but on other fronts I couldn't comment.'"
Maybe 'badly' isn't justified. I was referring to the manner he was brought over as a project (no problem with that), then dropped straight into the first team for stupidly short bursts, then left in the reserves when we were crying out for a change in the forwards. I don't feel that he's been given enough of a chance to demonstrate his aptitude for SL (or lack of it) and he clearly isn't in our plans for next season so he never will. For us at least.
That said, maybe there are other factors at work that aren't clear from the outside. It would be nice to have had some kind of explanation for the (on the face of it) baffling way in which his time here has been used.
