Reflections on a crazy week
Comments (0)
Well, now that the dust has settled on some frantic transfer activity and the deadline has now shut until Jan, I thought it may be worth reflecting on the last week.
I went to bed last minute at midnight turning off SSN in disgust as the news still hadn't come through about Fellaini. All I'd been holding out for was a midfield anchor that we have sorely missed since the start of our season as our light weight midfield has been exposed.
When I awoke and heard the news though, I have to say that I'm now much more optimistic for the season ahead, and also the direction in which the team & Moyes are heading.
Time will tell whether Fellaini is a success at Everton, but on paper he is everything we've lacked in CM for a long, long time. Even with Carsley, we've had our best success playing 4-5-1 as we've still needed to pack the midfield. This guy will offer the physical presence we lack, height (which shouldn't be underestimated as the rest of our midfield are all pretty small!), and apparently a great work rate.
Now I'm not saying that we're going to beat everyone from now on and that we are going to be World beaters, but if you look at the squad now with the 4 additions we've made this week we are again position for position on the pitch in a stronger position than we were this time last year.
