I'm a fan of the notion of seeing him and Agger paired together, as his size and strength coupled with Agger's reading and ball playing ability could very well be a match made in heaven, on paper anyway. Although, I doubt everyone's favourite uncle Roy would allow that any time soon.
He's been our only consistent goal threat this season.
On a more serious note, (well I wish it was) the thing is though do you see either Carragher or Skrtel offering anything he can't? Yes they are marginally better with the ball at their feet but they have been poor this season and last in my opinion. Last season when things were dire the Greek stepped up big time. People can say what they want but he's certainly never let us down and he's been very whole hearted and that's all you can ask for. In addition to this his aerial prowess is something that many have highlighted as what we're missing at the back, so until we can sign someone better I think on the basis of form and appearances he deserves to be starting more than our other defenders.
As well as that, don't kid yourself; for the time being we need to be the "best we can be" rather than saying we need the squad of title aspirer's. That luxury left along with Rafa before the season even started.

Too true. Fellaini had both studs raised into Soto. Soto if I remember didn't even connect with his studs half as bad as Fellaini, who got injured as he landed?
Close but no cigar. Soto was the one sliding in and Screech did the jumping. Soto never made contact, but Fellati stomped his ankle and ****ed up his own at the same time. Cards should have been the other way round.
