I disagree, there's no mitigation for it. We knew exactly what he was like, he then went on to be shite for Fulham, we should have known that his one asset of pace on the turn had gone so you're just left with this faux-pashun crap and the same old rickety marking and comical errors.
If you'd picked some bog standard L1 centre half at least there'd be a chance it might work out, however small. We knew Stearman wasn't good enough.
Another poxy Player of the Year winner too, how the hell did he win it in 2014/15 ahead of any of our front three?! :icon_lol: Our fans sometimes, honestly.
