I thought Saga was a premiership quality player when he arrived, but he lost all confidence and the goalscoring threat last season, and now finds himself in a similar position to the one he was in at his last French club before we came in.
I have seen the youngsters play ONCE in the academy play off a few years back, when their play was astonishing, zipping the ball around in groups of 3 before delivering to the goal machine DMG.
Whether they can produce this consistently against CCC opposition is the big question. We continue to get rid of reasonable players who might be effective, and this is only because of the money.
All very high risk, but it's almost as exciting as buying 6 or 7 new players and seeing how they do. It's got to be worth a try, there will still be plenty of journeymen out there if it has gone pear-shaped by Christmas!
