2017: The Eboue Enigma Doesn’t Halt The Invincibles March
A strange one this; in Brendan’s first season we were cruising, unbeaten at that point (and we finished unbeaten; that never gets old that, does it?) and so there wasn’t much need for a drastic, radical, rebuilding job. Good job too because we didn’t get one. We brought in a single player – Kouassi Eboue – and he has been one of the oddest signings in recent years. He cost us a cool £3 million, and was never more than a project player.
The club has high hopes for him, but he hasn’t exactly set the heather on fire.
Not that it mattered.
We finished that domestic campaign as The Invicibles.
So no harm done!
