Interesting how he describes his style of play:

"I don't see myself as a taller Makelele, even though I think he's a great player," he said. "I see myself more as an Pirlo-type player. Yes, I play in front of the back four, but I like to be a playmaker, to supply the midfielders and strikers who go forward, rather than being defensive-minded."

 

[TX Bill]

Well we need a defensive midfielder so scratch him off the list.

 

[Nebbiolo]

He's already starting to sound like a "personality". I'm glad he can, at least in his own view, play some role in distribution and setting up play. I think that that is one thing we could do with at the moment. I can't see a problem with him combining a defensive and a more attack minded role, so long as Moyes instructs him in no uncertain terms where his main duties will lie (and he will, I've no doubt of that ).

Has anyone actually seen this guy play?

 

[CanadaToffee]

On the contrary, he'd be a perfect fit as an Everton midfielder....









...he's injured...

I like this quote from the link that TB supplied:

Honest on the pitch, as he is off it, [M'bia] has attracted the attentions of a number of big clubs, including Premier League giants Everton, who will be playing in the UEFA Cup next season.

to the writer!

Thats the modern day defensive midfielder really, can do all the defensive duties and has the ability to pick a pass and start attacks.

Evertonians think we need a new Carsley, we don't, we need an upgrade with more to his game. That's how we'll move to the next level, with Carsley that was never possible sadly.

Anyone know how you pronounce his name?

I'm going for....

Mmmm...beeeer

 

[AdamTheGreatOneB]

Agreed but credit where it's due, Carsley was a great worker for us.

You make a lot of sense, TB. I actually thought that Manny could have played the role you describe. Whereas Carsley was excellent at the simple stuff, Manny was craftier at ball-playing, and in picking out individuals with good position. Whether Manny could have adapted to do the stuff Carsley did is debatable, although I think he probably could have done so to a similar standard.

 

[ricardobee]

He's desperate to join, we're desperate to have him.

Bet we still [Poor language removed] it up.

my views entirely - put across more eloquently, i still think he'll come back
