The Johnny 'Colossus' Heitinga Appreciation Thread

[Neiler]

Would rather have Hibbert at RB than Neville anyday of the week.
Neville on the bench would be a big improvement to the team.

I would have Neville persoanlly mate - very underated full back who would balance the team.

hopeing Heitinga can do a job in DM, seems to have those attributes to develop in the role.

Interesting this




Says he thinks his best position is defensive midfield.
And he reckons the referees will be more lenient than in Spain.

Was hoping for this mate, i have a sneaky feeling Moyes has pulled of another masterstroke here.

Can't see Moyes moving Neville back to right back, with Arteta out he's far too important to us in midfield.

When Arteta returns in about two months Heitinga might get a go in the middle then. At the moment though I think he'll be used in defence, mainly at right back.

He left Rodwell in the middle with Cahill for 3 games....

LOL. Nothing, I'm talking the piss really in light of hearing the same [Poor language removed] on this forum from last year.

He should go though. He's a proper belter. Cant even get Footy Focus to do a tour around the ground like MASSIVE MAN CITEH...needs to go.

ok, mate, just checking, but I agree, MALYES OUT.

I remember reading somewhere that he hates being called Johnny, it's John or nothing. And now Moyes has basically announced that his name will be Johnny from now on.

Well if he takes it badly then I'd be disappointed, that wouldn't be in the pre-season karaoke spirit at all.

Why on earth would we want to play the guy at right back, or even Neville at right back for that matter, when Hibbert has been arguably our best player so far this season?

Surely you get judged on current performances and not on past reputation.

For me, either Neville or Rodwell will lose their place tomorrow in favour of Heitinga, and I think Fellaini will start so both may lose their place.

And what?

I wouldnt say Hibbert has been our best player of the season so far mate, Rodwell is quite some distance ahead of him.

I dont like the stick Hibbert takes from blues as he turns up and usually runs in a competent performance but its clear we need to upgrade him at right back. Maybe Heitinga is the answer to that, maybe he's not. Were about to find out.

Rodwell Schmodwell.
He scored 2 fluky goals in Europe and won motm last match when Hibbo was easily motm. He isn't ready for 38 matches. Hibbo hasn't had one bad game yet.

You've got him in your fantasy team haven't you?

I'd rather have Rodwell play 19 matches than Hibbert 38 to be frank.
