I don't have great knowledge on world football and I rarely know much about our new signings until they play for us, but I had seen a lot of Sesko before he signed. I was excited, he was quick, powerful, great height when heading, scored great goals left and right footed and bullied defences.
Then he puts on our jersey and I have seen none of what he was doing before. What on earth happens to players when they get here. I know he's not getting great service but he hasn't shown much either.

Sesko was never in the EPL when you see him, but in inferior leagues. So many can't hack it and he is certainly one of those.

Banjoe ray wilkins once told me that playing in the epl is like playing a different sport to playing football in Italy or spain member minds the really weak ladies like Germany or portugal.
Of course some come to uk and make the transition seemlessly and take it in their stride.
But others never cope with the change.
Veron player of year in Italy useless in England at Chelsea and United.
Wirtz not coping well kagawa sancho and miki were player of year in Germant before we signed them like wirtz was goykerez is struggling too to get a game now.
Very few replicate their form from abroad certainly initially.
How long are Arsenal united spurs chelsea looking for a top striker? They are hard to come by and there are very few haalands or close to it.
Plus coming into a struggling team is even harder. Sesko could be on his 4th manager at united since he signed last year in a couple of weeks. (Including fletcher). What chance had he got plus he can't stay fit And available. So even if he was the real deal its impossible to show it in that sort of environment and circumstances.
Carricks style of play doesn't suit him either even if he was fit. All too slow and nobody running off and beyond him or crossing. It's been painful to watch. Our lack of control, cohesion and movement is criminal.
There is a dating i use frequently that's that's KISS keep it simple stupid.
We just need to keep it simple work hard stay organised and see where it takes us.

Thanks for that TW, Good points there. Sometimes the big move is the wrong move for some players.
