I simply cannot understand the negativity of the majority towards our captain. He very rarely gives the ball away and is probably the most effective defensive midfielder in the league at the moment. He continually breaks things down early before the defence are put under pressure, and moves the ball on the way he is facing without over complicating things, and allows the rest of the midfield/full backs to get on and do what they are good at knowing he is there for protection should it break down.

Basically what Moyes tells him to do - HIS JOB FOR THE TEAM!

On saturday I couldnt believe how impatient the fans were in the first half to get the ball forward quickly when we were keeping, people raved last season about Swansea keeping the ball......we do it better than they did, and we have the consistent end product. The first goal must of been 25 - 30 passes from back to front.

We dont need Hitzlsperger in my opinion, and I know it wont happen but id be happy if the 11 that started on Saturday, started every game until the end of the season!

Excellent post. Some people will give the likes of Neville and Anichebe grief no matter how good a job they do.

Not a chance. Well not a chance on the 3 year bit anyway.

If he signs you'd sensibly think it'd be just until en of the season and go from there.

The best he could hope for is a deal for the remainder of the season with another year option, with the possibility of that having an automatic trigger if he played X number of games.

If he proves his fitness, then he'll be a squad player, that Moyes can use when he sees fit, squad players need paying, so I don't see your beef. A German international vs an unamed 'young bargain'?

I'd be amazed if he was offered anything more than 20k till the end of the season.

Unreal assessments. In the last seven seasons he's played in three of the top four European leagues; he's 30 years old; and ripped his own three year contract up at Wolfsburg because of an injury. If he proves his fitness in training I think he and his agent will be looking for more than an eight month contract.

As I say, he seems limited to me and with not much if any resale value. We'd be better ploughing any contract money into a younger player who has a bit of pedigree in the Championship or somewhere.

He's not in a strong bargaining position though is he? He's out of contract and there isn't a big line of clubs queueing up to sign him. The fact that he has had injuries makes him a gamble, any deal will give him a chance to get games and put himself in the shop window for a better deal.
 
I hope we sign him.

Neville had a good game at the weekend but still gave the ball away a few times. His touch is poor and his passing range is very limited.

I really like the guy but we need better in midfield than he's capable of.

This is like a RAWK parody post.

This is going to be my "go to" post when I'm looking for an example of a catastrophically wrong post on GOT. :)
 
Anyone who supports Neville basically advocates racially aggravated murder.

Disgrace to this great club, you people are.
