On occasions certain footballers just don’t perform in their environment for various reasons. Look at Schniderlin for us. He arrives and looks a Rolls Royce player. Then the situation changes, whether it be poor performances from the club or something personal, his form drops away, amid rumours of dissent by him and Mirallas. Let’s face it, we never did get to the bottom of it. ( looking forward to Ferguson finally telling us all exactly what did happen though).
I have no concerns about Sidibe. He’s a thoroughbred and his class will shine through.
