Antony vs Dan James

He always has to stop, turn round to face our goal and play a back or side pass. It absolutely kills us.

Everyone shrieks about not playing him on the other wing but it would radically improve his service into the centre. Better still, don’t play him at all and instead use a player that has two feet.

A terrible signing - pound for pound possibly the worst I can think of.

He'd be absolutely useless on the left as well tbf. Show him on the outside is all a right back would need to do. He isn't beating them in a foot race and it's not like he has shown any ability at crossing the ball either.

A complete and utter dud.

He's a shit winger. Works well, but can't cross a ball, can't beat a man either.

He has turned out to be a terrible buy. Imagine what we'll get back for him?

Don’t disagree but surely you’d experiment if you were ten hag and it was obvious that the lack of service was killing both us and Hoijlund.

But then you remember he’s Dutch and that means better to fail embarrassingly and miserably than have a modicum of flexibility.

Our scouting team thought he was worth £25m - but that was before he proved to be this bad. Reckon £10-£15 m at this point. No prem team would go anywhere near him.

I'd just play someone else. Him on the left means he has even less room to operate in. He'd probably be even easier to nullify and it doesn't take much as it is.
