Confidence - and if he has lost that, then when that returns, he will look a million times more of a player. Yes hopefully. I've only ever seen him play for us and then back in Greece and only highlights. From what I've seen with us there's a level of natural talent but literally nothing else. Hopefully he proves me wrong as a standout championship season makes his value significantly more than we paid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't get on the pitch because he offers no defensive work rate, no attacking flair, doesn't beat a fullback, has a poor first touch and gets easily shoved off the ball. Currently bemused, you’ve just listed everything Sargent doesn’t do! Platcheta and Sargent have been awful, what they have shown is a lack of satisfactory ability that probably can’t be coached and they will never play regular at EPL level. Tzolis hopefully has a bit of quality that he can be worked with. If so, time we got to work and put him in the team to develop that. How anyone could argue he’s been better when he’s been rank bad has a seriously low bar! What (in football terms) could possibly be 10x worse than Sargent’s contribution?

Yellow Wal 314 Posted March 27, 2022 Let's face it, Placheta, Sargent and Tzolis has all been very disappointing. Some have had a better opportunity to show that they are not good enough than others but I would not be disappointed if we started next season with none of them, because if we do we will be bemoaning their contribution next season for as long as they are with us. If I were a cynic I might even question where the total outlay of around £20,000,000 ended up because that amount seems to grossly exaggerate the worth of the players. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,574 Posted March 27, 2022 I read the other day that the Greek Super League was immediately below the Championship in the European League rankings so I would expect CT to stand out next season. I wonder though how much his development has been stunted by only being given around 9 hours first team action this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
