and how many top class pro's in your opinion play for the most successful club in european history?
with you suits, gravesen was a top class player, and if we can get him for buttons and he'll drop his wages can only strengthen the squad.
We know he dovetails well with Cars and he knows Moyes' style and most of the squad.
I still contend that I saw him do something with the ball near where I was sitting in the lower bullens that defied physics, such was the level of skill.
many people reckon he was only good because he tried hard in his last year to get a better deal. This is just one way of interpreting the data in front of you.
Moyes does not play players he recognises are not trying and working hard - so it seems unlikely this interpretation fits the data.
Methinks, the reason he played so well towards the end of his tenure, is under Moyes' new 4-5-1 system at the time, it gave him the freedom to become a playmaker and score the odd goal, because there was a holding midfielder behind him. 4-5-1 suits gravesens play - this fits the data much better for me.
No-one wants to see turgid 4-5-1 all season and in europe, but for tough away games in europe and the prem, why not? Look how an under strength Chelsea beat MU with it in the cup.
We could play 4-5-1 with gravesen (we will need to start rotating players), for tough matches.
I mean we finsihed 4th that season. And I know Gravesen left us, but that's just football. Its not like Rooney doing one to United.
What do you think will happen when barca or real come in for arteta? - and no-one is slagging him off now, but it will happen, and he'll go (sorry for the reality check), we can match neither wages or profile.
