    The problem with that is Engels is diminishing returns, Hatate is in the same boat.
    Would you buy either of them, given their track record ?

    We should sell both but not at the same time as it's hard to see good enough consistency coming from either.

    How many more * poor performances will we have to suffer from BRs golden boy. Surely Bernardo deserves a run ahead of him

    Engels was brilliant playing in a double pivot with FC Augsburg.

    His YT's had him making timely interceptions and pinging pinpoint slide rule passes to every corner of the field.

    Have we simply been playing him in the wrong role ?.

    What I'd give to have Matt O'Reilly in our midfield still..... we don't have a midfieldor with the same class as the lad we signed for 1.5 mil from M.K Dons..

    But i do remember everyone writing off Nicholas Kuhn in the same way...and he went on have a * hot spell where he was probably our best player for a time...

    Point being...not everyone hits top form when we want them to...and I think Engels will at some point

    I think it really is that simple mate, we have him playing as a half space creator and he is not that under any stretch

    Ive been very much on the "he has something and will come good eventually" side, but honestly I think Im giving up the ghost a bit now.

    He just never seems to take his chance. And against mediocre opposition that he should be capable of making some sort of impact. He shies away from getting involved and he doesnt command the ball in a way that even Luke MacCowan does. Its starting to feel like pure wishful thinking now that suddenly he clicks into a top player
