Would get bullied from pillar to post in the centre of midfield.
Tbh, I can't really think of a 'flair' player who would be physical enoughto cope with the Premiership. Obviously Mendes is a good shout, having already played alright for Pompey. Even if we signed Pablo Aimar a few years ago, he wouldn't have been able to cope IMO.
Cleverley's a creative midfielder isn't he?
