well put mate, i don't want him not in a million years. I don't want a midfielder without the stamina to finish a game, i don't want a midfielder who makes flashy moves when a simple through ball will suffice.
he snubbed us, how do you expect the players to build up chemistry with him when he [Poor language removed] off to another team in between. the **** screwed us over.
back when we had manny, i overlooked his shortcomings because i felt he was a committed blue and was an addition to the team. i can't do that anymore, he doesn't work very hard, and our team has progressed so far since last season i'm not even sure where he'd play. he's a defensive midfielder, but nowhere near super carsley's quality (maybe he's a better ball controller, but in terms of holding midfield carsley's grit gets it done), plus despite the fact that he couldn't get a game with valencia he'll probably be priced wayy too much.
so yea, [Poor language removed] off manny we've moved on and don't want you anymore. to me he's just a slower, less effective version of pienaar anyways, who's forced to play defensive mid because he lacks the pace to be a good winger.
