Alan Shearer

If he stays, fine, but if it doesn't, then who are we going to get?

And they went in, and I don't think they went in for so many players and lost out.

They went in for Mbwemo, they went in for De Lappe, they went in for Eketike, they went in for Sheshko, and didn't get any of those players and were left scrambling towards the end.

And there's no doubt they've paid a fortune there.

for some of these players.

Visser hasn't hit the heights.

He's a 10 probably, isn't he?

I think he's half and half.

I think he's half and half.

And he's really struggling with the physicality and with the pace of the Premier League at the minute.

Because he's not the quickest, is he?

No, no.

And also I look at what are we used to with Eddie Howe's team is that how did they get the success?

How did they get into the top four or five?

How did they win the Carabao Cup?

How do they continually go against teams?

For me, it was always high press, high energy, going after teams and being relentless.

That at the minute is miles off what we've expected or what we'd hoped because last season was brilliant.

I'm not seeing that at all.

I'm not seeing the same energy from this group of players.
