Who said anything about expert opinion? I'm posting as a fan, the calibre of player I'd like to see come in to replace him.
I don't think you get how this forum thing works.
As TomMac&Ernie said, you're also talking about the same 'expert opinion' that signed players like Benavente, Aguza, Harley, Church, N'gombo, Sietsma and all the numerous other duds over the years.
None of those players were brought into the clu to be the figurehead like Aneke was.
Don't know what point you're trying to make there. We spent over a million (apparently) bringing Benavente and Aguza to England, I doubt when that was approved they didn't hope either of them would become a key player for us as much as Aneke.
My point was that so called 'experts' involved in scouting and bringing in players still target players that turn out to be total and utter failures in some cases. It's pot luck much of it. Think all of us fans wouldn't have picked chosen Church or Harley for example, yet professional scouts and our recruitment department seem to ignore all the warning signs and go for them.
I just hope our recruitment department are looking at established goalscorers and not gambles. Seem to remember a quote from Tis that he wanted to focus on defence first, then attack later. He certainly strengthened our defence last season overall, so this season should have been about focusing on attack. So far, we're weaker in attack than last season.
