I must be bucking the trend here cos i just dont see him as a way forward. we have done the "dogs of war" thing, we have done the tommy graveson angry midfeilder, and he just isnt savvy enough to play CB. to my mind you need to be able to read the game around you and never switch off to be a top CB and i've seen too many occasions when he gets "caught" by quicker thinkers. A squad player maybe first team if we have other injuries. you cant even say he sweats blue blood, sorry not for me better players around him.
wtf is going on though when a wc finalist can't get a regular start ? he's getting on with it though, I know there have been rumours in the past but it really wouldn't surprise me if he asked for a move, and I don't think any of us could blame him either.
Heitinga hasnt got the savy of Jagielka and Distin and I wouldn't even have him on the bench , he's another one similar to jack Rodwell in the sense of, he gives the team nothing , thinks he's Beckham and every pass has to be 30 yards +, and ****'s out of 50/50 tackles, he's also no where near good enough in the air to play centre half in the premier League , he maybe ok in Spain where the ball is mainly on the deck 80% of the time , I would take 5 mill 2morrow if it was to be reinvested to the teamNah you're not bucking the trend mate. I'm very much in the minority with my love for him.
And I don't agree with your 'not savvy enough to play at CB' things. He's far more savvy than Distin and than Jags has shown this season. You don't play in the World Cup Final and for Ajax and Athletico (although he was not great at Athletico) if you're not decent.
I do agree with your midfield comments there.
It's all opinions though and it seems Moyes shares your point of view rather than mine.
I agree mate - if I was him i'd be fuming at the chances he's not been given - I know he's injured at the moment but still.
But he just gets on with it always Tweets positive stuff about us too.
Wouldn't blame him at all if he requested a move.
