There's certainly not a lot between them, but Obertan is 5 years younger and can become a top player if he wants it and has the talent. The jury is out on both aspects.
He's exceptional, but yesterday was a wake up call to all the hyperbole on here, he was fortunate not to cost us two goals.
Which two 'goals' were these?
Best is twice the player Shola is. And if I said what HBA is in comparison to Beardsley, I'd have French idiots trolling my posts for the next 6 months. No thanks.
Coloccini helps him out all the time which leaves gaps through the middle. Sooner one of the current full-backs is banished to the bench forever, the better. Neither are good enough.
