While I may disagree with aspects of the club's list management from time to time, every player on our list has my full support even if their success shows that my football judgement is awry.
Alex Silvagni, Smedts and Palmer were added to our list for a reason and, from what I've seen of the latter two, they've met expectations. I'd prefer to see Alex play out the season in the NBs but, if needed, he'll do his job.
Let me elaborate.
Right now, Alex Silvagni is a bright new shiny toy in an unopened box. Our imaginations are running wild with all his tricks of the trade. We've all read about what he CAN do. Since he is still in his box, we are yet to find out what he cannot do.
He will remain as 'the great white hope' (as our other recruits were - in which most automatically made our best 22) and will be called for as an in each and every week we lose as a fix.
Then, finally we take him out of the box and play him. Then we see him for who he is, warts and all. Maybe he does ok, maybe not. But i doubt he'll be able to live up to everyones expectations of him.
The sooner we take him out of the box, the sooner we can see he's just 'malibu stacy with a new hat' and we can move on.
