STEFANI MIGLIORANZI could find himself thrown straight back into the County Ground cauldron tomorrow with Andy King convinced the Brazilian still has the potential to grace the Premiership.
However, that will only happen if he can bind all the midfield 'ingredients' together successfully and consistently.
The Town boss, who last night confirmed that attempts to secure another loan deal had failed, may have no choice but to pitch the 27-year-old straight in to the starting line-up.
Miglioranzi, pictured, trained with his colleagues at Wanborough yesterday and was due to do so again today.
King said: "He hasn't played for three months, do you throw him into a football match?
"There is such a thing as match fitness, he's had one reserve game.
"At the moment I don't know what bodies I've got and there might not be a choice."
Whether he starts against the Seasiders or not there is no disguising King's delight at seeing the player back in contention.
He said: "He has got a physical presence. He's a wonderful athlete who gets about the pitch.
"When he's on his day he is a wonderful footballer.
"I've always thought he's one of those who could play higher and is one of those in the camp who could go into the Premiership. That's if he can put all the necessary and missing ingredients together.
"On his day he's as good a midfielder as there is in this division.
"He has to produce and show what we know he has on a consistent basis."
King was back on the phone after training yesterday desperately looking to bolster his squad ahead of the Seasiders' visit tomorrow.
It wasn't a fruitful afternoon sadly.
As the Evening Advertiser went to press he said: "There's nothing to report."
