He covers a lot of ground. The thing he lacks is serious pace.

Pace, guile, strength, playmaking, desire. Take your pick really on which attributes he lacks.

And lacks any serious impact on the game as a result ? I

Should be looking to move him on in the summer, see if anyone from China or Serie A will bite and pay a fee for a player who may do better in a slower league. We could then move to a proper 3 in midfield and maybe even give Vlasic some game time.

I think Siggy is our weak link, just doesn’t do enough to warrant a starting place.

You haven't mentioned his inability to head a ball mate,

It's a wonder he ever made a grade as an international footballer. lol

Iceland are hardly the pinnacle of international football though.

No but he is the stand out player in their team and I seem to remember them knocking England out of was it the world cup, so they are not exactly crap either.

Knocking that Ingerland team out is hardly a ringing endorsement of his talent.

He didn’t do anything in that game either.

Yeah it’s a wonder he ever got picked out of about 200 professional footballers from that country.

Okay I see your point, but in my humble opinion, he's still a very good player, in a very poor run of form, like most of our team at present. He has his faults, pace being the main one. But a decent footballer, who should be taking dead balls far better than he is.

Your knowledge of foreign football is amazing mate, but he plays in the premier league and has done for years, that make him crap as well.

He’s only played regularly for crap teams.
