| "The Invisible Aman" A pun we're so pleased with, we've used it twice! |
In many ways Aman Verma was the archetypal Morrell signing.
- Exotic of name and background.
- Looked very tricksy in pre-season.
- Praised in the press beyond all reason by the boss.
- Completely ineffective in competitive football.
- Soon out injured.
- Makes the odd, limping appearance.
At Alfreton yesterday Verma was sacrificed at half time when we had been reduced to 10 men in favour of Taft (finally getting a go at Centre Back!) and we actually played better without him on the pitch. All he offered in a first half where Alfreton could have run riot, was a bit of ineffective midfield tippy-tapping and half-hearted tracking back. With him taking a barely earned or needed half-time shower, our 10 men coped far better with the home side.
It remains a mystery how he avoided the transfer list splurge, along with other of Morrell's wasters. All we can think is that it was either because he was hidden away in the treatment room on the day that Stimson drew his list up, or he is so incredibly unremarkable that he truly has become invisible.
