Oh so that was Roopie….
Amwood, what's your impression of him?
Thought he had some nice touches, but there was literally no space out there to play....as a man who enjoys seeing a beat or two, he may be quite the entertainer, as a coach, I would be more interested in seeing if there is an end product to his approach.
This is the problem. Like Speng, Roopie is an entertainer, but is he a luxury player? Darren "Chucky" Mitchell was exciting last year, but this year is a better, more productive player as he has more defensive duties, but he's no longer as exciting to watch. Coaches need to win matches, not entertain audiences and players like Speng and Roopie, while being supporter favourites, don't always excite the coach.
Roopie has lots of ability, but the coach will decide if he can play a role in the squad.
Personally, I would sign Speng and let him play the last 15 minutes to bring in the crowds! (Which is probably why I'll never get a coaching job lol)
