How come? Genuine question
I don't think he's the best of players - but he epitimises what we now have at this club. How many times do you hear people say "I'd rather see a team of people who give 200% than can play with 50% but have more ability"? Now is the time when people who believe that can admire Nolan and co, and others are busy jizzing voer Hatem. (That isn't a criticism ftr, obviously the signing of HBA is positive and could take us to the next level).
He, and others currently at the club are rumoured to have been the ones to initialise this whole "if you're in-you stay, if you're not f*** off" mentality. Along with that his leadership on the pitch is brilliant, he elads by example - by scoring goals and going in where it hurts. As well as by his mouth which is constantly going.
He stays fit for a lot of the season and shows a constant desire to play for us, the fans, and the club itself.
He is a breath of fresh air in modern day football, as are many of our players, but Nolan is our sheppard and not one of our sheep, and I thoroughly admire that.
Anyhoo, José is my other favourite, simply because he is hard as f*** and our best player with regards to quality.
There are not many players who I believe when they say how proud they are and how much they love being at this club, but with these two I genuinely believe it.
Well said buddy.
