I still genuinely don’t understand why this wasn’t spotted 12 months ago

Some of the blame has to be laid at farke’s door surely? He obviously thought the players we signed would fit into his system and be able to cope with the rigours of the premier league. Smith has spotted it immediately

        Three years. We needed a guy like this instead of Amadoudodo (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 8, 09:13:25

        He doesn't feel like my player at the moment so I do feel a bit neutral (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Jun 8, 09:55:16
