He was a cheap buy. The biggest reason anyone is interested in him is because we spent big on EMC apparently not knowing that he plays the other side of the pitch.
Fair point. My understanding when we bought him him was that he played across the front 3. My comment really relates to the fact that Robins seems reluctant to use him there when I saw that as being the position he would predominantly be expected to play. Also, on reflection perhaps the club were more worried about Wright being able to complete the games than they were about Sakamoto at the time.
Falling off the saddle, is the best Saddle.
took saka a bit to get going
Always said the same...
Absolutely. We did some proper patching the play off season. My point here was more that I don't think most of us really expected Raphael to be starting games at this point in his career. I saw him as one for the future/later in the season.
It's just people hanging off every word the 'ITK' say around here. Most normal people appreciate some of what they say is correct, some is said with good intention but with a bit of guess work, and some is just complete bollocks.
What does ‘fitness’ mean specifically here… does it mean he’s unfit because he’s lazy and not kept in shape, or does it mean his body is struggling to adapt to a change in regime following an injury. From MR’s comments, unless what he’s said is completely fabricated, it’s the player needs to be primed to perform at the intensity required. Perhaps the ITK information has been misinterpreted or possibly even inaccurate.
He can play on the left wing with Wright, EMC and DaSilva with Bidwell just behind
If one buys into such superstitions, indeed.
