I really dont get that he is good at pressing etc - if that was the requirement for our number 10, surely we have better "pressers"? That is literally all he offers - someone running around chasing shadows
Will reduce the "o'clock" messages greatly: Shola o clock, guti o clock, gouf o clock, etc
Now its just wait and see team news, and be content. Happiness...
Id rather have an exciting player to replace colback in the squad for £5M, than have a 33 year old plodder to warm the bench. Its got nowt to do with fee, but more to do with opportunity cost. Thats why I am moaning...
I really hope we sign someone of the Ben Arfa ilk that get us genuinely excited. Not solid championship journey men, but someone with immense talent/potential who get us up off our feet.
The no. 10 is not working, so if we dont go 442 (which i would prefer), then id like to see this:
Sels
Janmaat Mbemba Lascelles Gamez
Hayden/Tiote
Ritchie Shelvey Diame Ayoze
Gayle
When we are getting battered, his defensive qualities make him seem ok.
In a league where we are the dominant side, he offers us absolutely nothing. We need attacking fullbacks who can pass/cross.
