[Blog] Delaney, Healy, Martin and Co
Written by superblueflude on Thursday, 22nd Oct 2009 12:53

I've written pieces about Roy Keane and how good strong support can help our team get back to winning ways. But I thought I'd ask for supporters' comments on some of Keane's signings.

Wise move of mine? Probably not, however you may feel differently about some of the signings and admit that although some may have not turned out how you expected, the blame shouldn't really be aimed at the manager.

Starting off, how many of you have gone shopping, seen a a product on the shelf, you've picked it up, gave it a good look and read the back of the packaging to see what it does. You buy it, take it home and then you're shocked at how bad the product actually is. The same for food, how many take aways do you buy that end up being thrown away?

Think of this and now think of Delaney, Healy and Martin. To us their performances have been, well let's just say not that great, to be polite. But surely Keane must have seen something in these players to bring them to our club.

With that in mind, instead of thinking Keane made a big mistake signing them, how about thinking, maybe they are not as good as first thought. How many players all over the world are bought and sold, and then suddenly these very players are labelled as mistakes, but whose mistake?

I can't believe that each time a player is bought, the manager has to take the blame. Surely the player themselves has to take the blame.

The problem is we can't just send Delaney or Healy back like we can with shop products with a receipt, but what we can do is use them to our benefits, making sure the first teamers understand that although these two are not in the first team at present, big changes can happen and this can keep the team on their toes.

Look at Leadbitter, Edwards and Rosenior, three fantastic players who are beginning to show their worth, players Keane has also brought in. So, come on Delaney, Healy and Martin, how about showing the fans why we bought you and not let Keane take the rap.

Le pen played one game and got injured, Jermaine Wright - good player, Georges Santos- good centre back, strong, good in the air, and Finidi George was a beast! Fair enough the rest were pretty average, but these you got wrong. P.S Drissa Dialo played right back not centre back(admittedly quite badly)
