Toyosi Olusanya

Hasn’t made the squad for the last four games. Is he injured, or has McCann just given up?

Injured

Is that 'injured' or actually injured do we think?

That helps with available funds.

Injured has never been more 'code' for the truth. Awful signing, we wont see him again.

The most baffling statement of the season;

Manager Grant McCann said: “We’re really delighted to get this one over the line. It’s not been easy because there has been so much interest in him.

Signing a 28 year old who’s barely ever played up top on his own to play that role was weird.

It’s like Grant and the recruitment team got tunnel vision over pace and forgot about the footballing bits.

“There has been so much interest in him” according to his agent.

He was linked with every club in L1 in “the paper” prior to signing. Stinks of an agent signing to me. Agent sells a dream and we fall for it.

That stumble then pass to the luton goalie after gibbo had run 40 yards,  just about sums his time up here..

He's quick alright. Horrific when he finally retrieves the ball

TBF he has got quick feet - it's just unfortunate that they're on the wrong legs...

...and in training no doubt - a bit like Lewis Guy.

I was never a fan of Lewis, but it’s unfair to bracket him with Olusanya. .

Dead right, Adam, and I'd be happy if we didn't see Lee Glover again. He's the one responsible for identifying the likes of Olusanya and Ajayi.

If your suspicion on that is correct, SS then I would expect we will be seeing the back of him before too much longer.  I don't think GM will put up with incompetence in player recruitment negatively affecting the club and his own reputation.

Yes, Alan, but if he's been sold a puppy then there's not much he'd know about it. The recruitment team will have done all the analysis, stats, and fact finding. That's what they're paid for.

GM has to put his trust in them. I don't think he'll be too pleased right now.

My understanding is Grant has the final say on pretty much everything on the football side. Certainly recruitment is one area where he decides what's what, and I'm pretty sure he rates his own opinion over what the underlying numbers might be telling him. So, whilst the analysts might be telling him one thing, he may not always go along with it.

Could be worse - compare Lasagne with Isak ???

Slot v McCann ?

FFS this game isn't a perfect science and never will be.

If you check out the recent L1 budgets publication, by Football League World, it may put another slant on things, re standard of players in our recruitment!

If that's the case, then it sounds as though the recruitment team are getting paid for very little responsibility, and GM's judgement in the summer was terrible.

I've got this niggling feeling that he stays longer than January, just down to how this loan was described compared to all the others. Could be wrong, although I do think it takes a while for players to understand their roles in a McCann squad.

How ? He was meant to offer a variation on what we had in the squad and all I’ve seen is a player who IS quick but that’s it ..It’s unclear as to how many games he’d played prior to this loan or even the was it an equivalent standard . It beggars the question why have we gone over seas to find Olusanya when the are hundreds of players that can be seen daily
