Hartman is another who’s an accomplished player. But I believe our system doesn’t help him.

Florentino was at benfica and is also a v good player but I think as I’ve said for weeks that the central 3 are all too similar ( doesn’t make him a bad player ).

I’d have kept Koleosho tbh as width is / has become an issue ( we don’t threaten teams enough.)

Whilst we’re on players Foster can’t get a game and or Hannibal - I’m afraid it’s Parker’s set up that strangles us in games.
Professional athletes on 50k/week should already be up to speed Army or up to speed within a month of arriving-it is now December.I personally think like you it is the system Cardy is employing and the fact that the team has not been balanced enough for a long time now.SD never had a strong midfield and we complained about it.For 2 seasons now we have not had a strong attacking force.Even the defence has become leaky.I cannot remember the last time the team looked to have a good balance throughout.
