He's a high energy midfielder who travels well with the ball, can pick a pass and has a shot on him. At the price, even as a useful, versatile squad addition, he's a no brainer for me.
What he isn't, is a central midfielder that's going to put a foot on the ball, protect it, pass it and tackle when needed. THAT midfielder (think Gareth Barry) is an absolute priority this summer. Neither Garner nor Iroegbunam are up to it (yet), I reckon. And if Gueye leaves, we're screwed. Previous Message
I think our fanbase really over rates some players.
If we lose both Gana Gueye and Doucoure then that is a huge concern for me.
I am banking on Moyes realising the level of depth and quality he’s going to need to make sure next season is as calm as possible.
Right now, with a huge amount of playing squad change expected in addition to moving to a new stadium and getting settled, I would bite your hand off to have the 45 points we have now this time next year. Previous MessagePrevious MessagePrevious MessagePrevious Message
