Shortcomings

Weimann is a good player and hopefully Eisa will fulfill his potential, but neither offer the goals we need so it has to go down as a recruitment lapse.

Weimann for months now though has been played as a sort of defensive wide player type role- goals alone are far from his sole requirement. His versatility across the frontline is both a strength and a weakness for him (and us?),

Throw in assists too, the great runs he makes which we will hopefully find increasingly more readily and I don't think it is the be all and end all in his case- if he was up front in a 4-4-1-1/4-1-4-1 switch Paterson getting up to support him as per Paterson Reid combination of last late Autumn/early winter, then things may change for him in terms of goal output.

Don't be so gullible 

Wasn't it confirmed, Hogan at least, by Lee Bowyer.  Cited as the reason he couldn't get Eisa on loan.

Semenyo was brought back to the squad for no other reason than to keep the wolves from the door. Bids come in during January and the Club is in a very weak position to decline those offers if the lad is playing at Newport. There was no way that he was going to get thrown into the match day 18. Whether you give a toss or not, the reality is that this very talented baller has now been prevented from playing week in and week out. You can bet he would much rather be playing competitive football than to 'assimilate into the way the team (City) plays' - by the way, what on earth do you mean by that?

Agree.
