Practically every new player that comes here gets moaned about before he sets foot on the pitch, it was the same last year when we signed Feather he was called second rate, injured and a reject by various posters yet he took on the captains role when Wardie got injured and was a good solid player, did any of those posters say they got it wrong
Pfister, when he got the chance to play also did a decent job even though it was a dubious decision to shell out the money for him.
Kershaw, now thats a different story, but then he never set foot on the pitch for us.
McCall gets flak over certain other players in the squad as well, but yet he was not the one who gave them contracts, his signing of the 2 Justins, Boss and moving up of some local development players are the ones he should be judged on.
I personally will judge the new players on their performance on the pitch and not press reports and hearsay of what they may or may not have done elsewhere.
