100% agree. I was prepared to wait and see and now I've waited I've seen enough. What the actual f was he thinking there!
What I don't understand is there were opportunities last season to put him in and test him but IIRC we never did it. (Correct me if I'm wrong) If we'd done so we could have identified the problem with Benji going.
If you think about the recruitment failures you can list GK, CB, CDM and striker. As someone said, that's the whole spine of the team.
