Castillo???

GhostOfDixie · October 5, 2008

Anyone else wondering why he's not been involved for a while? What exactly did he do wrong against Liege? He scored a cracking goal and put himself about a bit. Surely he can't be competing with Fellaini. Why would Moyes buy two players for the one position when we are in desperate need for a playmaker.

I am with you, should have been at least given a chance as a sub.

Castillo should be in the team before either Fellaini or Osman imo.

When we went 2 up i would even have thrown him on then just to tighten things up.

Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian · October 5, 2008

so that he can be thrown in after another 1/2 dozen games, be ineffective and then we can blame it on it being his 'pre-season'.

Robert Jarvis · October 5, 2008

So why does Moyes sign these players up and not use them.

ToxtethBlue · October 5, 2008

Fellaini wasn't bought to be a ball winner, it's quite clear he isn't one. Fellaini should be competing with Osman, not playing alongside him.

Castillo was took off twice by Moyes at half time, maybe he doesn't fancy him or he doesn't think he's ready.

He looks a tidy player, quite strong aswell. One thing I have noticed is his positioning is a bit off, he takes up the wrong positions and he's left us exposed at times. Maybe he just needs a run of games.

Technically solid but sadly has the positional sense of a [Poor language removed] duck.

can't be worse than Hibbert.

the more i see fellaini,the more im convinced he,s moyseys worst buy ever. take the goal away and he was [Poor language removed] again. clumsy in the challenge. not winning anywhere near the amount of headers youd expect from his size and generally meandering about like a young le tissier(without the skill factor).hes good at the defensive minded back pass i guess.

moyes has shown in the past that he will move players on if they prove to be a bad buy. roll on january so we can sell him for 6 milion and buy manny!:huh:

And you'll never guess who scored the winner for Valencia (y)

I'd like to see Fellaini and Castillo together.

Bruce Wayne · October 6, 2008

He'll play soon because Osman is going under the knife. I think he'll mostly contribute when we play 5 in midfield.

ToxtethBlue · October 6, 2008

Is he going under the knife?

I'm suprised he played yesterday, I thought Moyes would go with Castillo-Fellaini.

Bruce Wayne · October 6, 2008

Pretty sure they said he was injured and will be operated upon during the international break. Whether that will happen now Cahill is out I don't know, but that's what was said a few weeks ago.

Don't know wether your saw the B'burn waya game? But they were just awful in the middle together. Just did'nt have a clue who was doing what! be suprised if we ever see them together again!

Catillo looks miles of the pace imo. The bench is the best place for him.
