Albian Ajeti’s signing is becoming more and more of a puzzle!
Does anybody out there know exactly why he’s around and unless we find out soon, the name Jordan Hugill comes creeping into one’s mind.
So far -apart from the Oxford humiliation – he has barely played more than 10 minutes or so and we’re probably unlikely to recognise him in the street if he passed us by.
Bought for the same amount as we sold Chicharito for – and reputedly the same sort of box player who didn’t suit the system Pellegrini wanted to play – I’m confused by his presence along, no doubt, with many others.
Indeed, I think it might be half a decent idea to play him for the under 23s in the Premier League International Cup match at Rush Green tomorrow night because I for one want to see what he’s all about.
That won’t of course happen with things as they are but at some stage he is going to have to be let loose one would imagine.
It’s entirely unfair to judge on what we’ve seen but with many questions surrounding various players at the moment, the guy needs the chance to strut his stuff and show whatever it is he was bought for.
It’s probably a puzzle for Ajeti too. If things aren’t going to plan in a match MP seems unwilling to really change tack like changing formation unless it’s 5 mins from time. Don’t expect Newcastle would expect us going 2 up front from the start so why don’t we try it and see what Ajeti is like for a whole game. Be good to see if it works for Haller too. Nothing wrong with a more direct approach on occasion! 3 points would be a nice Brucey Bonus. COYI.
So here’s my thoughts Ajeti is not getting the chance to prove himself . I see Haller looks frustrated by lack of service. So is it Pelligrini doesn’t trust Ajeti to play two up top . If so we need to get the midfield closer to Haller and play to his strengths . I’m not one of those knocking Pelligrini cos he is the best manager for years . I think we just need a few little tweaks for us to click and I think the manager & team will sort it . I also think Pelle is also trying to decide his best squad and options but in reality the players are inconsistent so difficult to decide . However I really think they will sort it together I have that feeling we’re going to click soon and surprise a few teams. Have belief , COYI ⚒
