I've been very clear with a few of my Cov mates. They are getting a technically better player back, but they are absolutely getting a less fit, less disciplined player back. A player who struggled beyond 70 minutes for fitness and impact, across the last two seasons, and now is asked to take a step up a division.
I've been abundantly clear, beyond the romance and sentiment of it all, and beyond their mindset of righting some wrong or sumat (lol, I dunno) this is absolutely not a singing for competing in the athleticism of the Pl.
