Irons striker gets Moyes cold shoulder again
Indeed he seems unwilling to discuss the guy in any details at all which at Premier League level is a rather surprising development.
The manager – during a Zoom session with reporters – was asked specifically about the Swiss international as a possible answer to our upfront issues.
And he effectively gave the cold shoulder, telling the media they were probably in a better position to judge the player than him.
He said: “I think he had a chance against Newport. Was it Newport he played? I think you had a chance to watch him in a few of those games.
I only came in January and I didn’t get a chance to see much. I played him in the West Brom game. You and me have probably seen the same amount. I’ve probably see a bit more of him in training.
Obviously I see more of him in training. But you’ve had as much chance to watch him as I have in those games..”
There’s always firsts in this game, however long you have been around but telling the media they are in as good a position to judge a player as the manager really is a strange one.
Personally, given that Ajeti was sent to the back benches almost as soon as Moyes arrived it might have been a better to ask about Under 23 striker Xande Silva.
Assuming – and his bench presence suggests his fitness is okay- it may be surprising that this seemingly highly talented and courageous young man hasn’t had any sort of shout yet.
