madras Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 who are these 'current defensive midfielders'? it must look pretty grim for them..... cattermole (whom we were reliably informed at the start of the season would be breaking into the national side) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thought Muntari looked quite good for Portsmouth tbh. Not seen him very much at all since then like so he could well have turned to shit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Muntari is gash. The main aim of signing footballers generally is too improve on your current squad/team,Muntari would be a vast improvement on the current defensive midfielders we have,it's really not even a debate he is a class above. So if Muntari is gash, but he's a cut above what you have in your current squad, what dies that make them?

Foluwashola Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Is Muntari really that bad though? Don't watch any Italian soccerball so can't account for the last couple of years but he was an above average player for Pompey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Muntari is barely a 'defensive midfielder' by the way. Play him there at your peril. Ask the Inter and Serie A fans on here, they'll tell you what he brings to to fold. It aint too impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wearside Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 who are these 'current defensive midfielders'? it must look pretty grim for them..... Cattermole who is a liability and Meyler who won't be back till about April at the earliest.On the brightside however if we can sit in 6th place with Cattermole playing I wonder where we can finish with a current European Cup winner in our ranks.

Neil Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 who are these 'current defensive midfielders'? it must look pretty grim for them..... The future of English football, £20m rated Jordan Henderson, no less. But he's not a defensive midfielder, I hear you cry. Well, from the amount of time he spends floating around doing nothing, he's as much as a DM as he is an AM/RM which he is apparently supposed to be.

Guest Heneage Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I don't rule out the chance Muntari could work for Sunderland but the fact so many are ignorant to his current position is funny. Anyone who watches Serie A will tell you how poor he's been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Is Muntari really that bad though? Don't watch any Italian soccerball so can't account for the last couple of years but he was an above average player for Pompey. He lived off a couple of screamers at Pompey. He was average/competent at Udinese and has been an absolute trainwreck (bar a couple of decent games first season) for Inter. No tactical awareness, no personal discipline, no technique, cannot pass to teamates, cannot create, cannot tackle. He could run about a bit as a sub and acted as Mourinho's cheerleader but other than that he was closer to killing Inter's treble season than actually contributing to it. Maybe he'll go to Sunderland, run about a bit, score a few corkers and look better because of the style of football...but he's hardly a worldbeater. Infact he's a long way from it, and the mackems should probably curb any expectations they have of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
