The Enigma of Silvio Spann

The Enigma of Silvio Spann
markwfc.blogspot.com

So what do you make of Silvio Spann? I'm only asking because I've still got no idea what to think of him!

He's enjoying a rare run in the side, and I'm glad to see it. After all, we're not going to be able to judge his value unless we have a good look at him. The trouble is, having seen him playing week-in week-out I'm still none the wiser!

There are moments when you feel he has a bit more quality than the players around him, but does he really get close to delivering on his promise and potential often enough?

Take the Altrincham game. There are those who were furious he was withdrawn so early, with less than ten minutes of the second half gone, and I can understand that as there were little flashes of promise from him.

However, I can't say I was terribly surprised he got the hook as he was awfully peripheral. He had the odd moment, but it wasn't sustained by any stretch of the imagination, and to miss that glorious chance Anoruo provided for him by dallying and not getting a shot in when he was heart-broken two days earlier over two similar but tougher chances he squandered at Oxford because he hesitated was very disappointing.

I don't know if I want Dean Saunders to keep faith in him or not, and equally I've no idea if Deano's giving him a run to help him bed into a new position or if he's taking a good hard look before deciding whether or not to pay him off.

The thing is, I suspect I still won't have made my mind up about the enigmatic Silvio when he finally leaves us, whenever that might be.

This man was such a big player once, what the hell happeneed ? I know his wife wanted him to quit football wonder if she have anthing to do with the way he has declined ?

Leroy Spann is a big shoe to fill.

Hopefully Silas Spann might do better.

Silvio is 27 so its not to late to turn it around.

Good luck youth.

That's sad to hear,especially that part about his wife wanting him to quit playing football,wow wow people still behave like that.listen my wife and I have been married for over 17 years she met me playing ball and never once has she ever hinted or suggested that I stop,now if I had a medical condition that's a different story but even presently with my bad knees I still run-out with a over 40 team.

This is amazing how he went from looking promising to lacking the lustre and fortitude to secure a place on any team presently....

I think the woman part needs to be explored some more,but at the end of the day so yuh make yuh bed so yuh lie on it....

Remember see me and come live with me is different.......

Tell them spideybuff. I see some seed fell on good ground. Your dear mother will be well pleased. I cant believe his form or lack thereof has anything to do with his wife. He is the one on the field and performance counts.

Always viewed him an a vastly overrated player. I don't see all the accolades men attribute his skill to.
