nothing to discuss

[Rocket]

no, i'd say he's championship standard at best

[lfc4ever]

Difficult, does not tackle, does not break play up, does not get stuck in when the going gets tough, does not go on marauding runs and score goals, is a fantastic playmaker for Euro Leagues without doubt, and can quite often make that killer pass, but to what end result actually?

When we are winning, and winning well, he is to the forefront, when we are on a bad streak and need tough players, he is not the man for the job.

That is a sensible reply. I dont know how you could fault it

Made more tackles in the league for us than any other player last season.

He's just ineffective when people don't move well around him IMO.

despite being consistently amongst the highest tacklers and best passers in the league since coming to england?

he's had a bad start to the season like many of our other key players, nothing more.

He's been poor for the best part of a year, and his style of play almost certainly suits La Liga more.

I'd sell for anything over 12m.

Ok matey, who would you have in the team if you were manager. I'm giving you the chance here to sell your opinions to me without people mocking it.
