Orgs comment. Alioski the macedonian Pele! i hear hes in the running to play Malcolm X in a new movie!
Don't think anyone is saying Struijk is the panacea to our ills, just that on the few occasions he has played he has shown worth (not just my opinion), and when you think that Bielsa continues to play wastes of space like Roberts, one wonders why potential like Struijk is left not only out of the 1st team but not even available as a sub.
