The Skipper

I've watched him quite a bit recently and he's really turning his talent into productivity lately, some excellent performances. Eredivisie is perfect for his development. Interested to see whether he gets a WP next year. Could make it as our 5th choice AM IMO. If not, loan him out to a slightly tougher league like France and see how he does there.

He's killing it.

RLC is a Yaya Toure/Pogba type B2B player. Powerful, technical player in the middle of the park.

Someone who had a big part to play in his countries WC + Euros victories cannot be seen as a big game flop IMO. It really isn't his fault that we set up the way we do in big matches.

What about the game before that where he played CB and solidly marshalled Ibrahimovic for almost the whole of the game?

Inter aren't that bad though, they've got some good players in Icardi, Kovacic, Vidic, Hernanes, Handanovic etc. Just need a few pieces here and there to be competing again IMO.

Mata would be perfect at Inter I think, if they built the team around him of course.

Pogba is far more technically superior than Essien ever was, not even debatable. Don't even think you can compare them as players tbh.

That's still very incredible.

JT has had no yellow cards this season? Wow.

Like I said, he's missed quite a few big games. Above are the ones he has been involved in and they are just examples of how he doesn't shy away in big games and that he's actually been decent.

He's barely played in most of our big games this season, and the ones he has played in he has definitely influenced or scored in somehow.

Instead of popping champagne you might want to pay someone back.

Name these 4/5 games he's played well in then?

I wouldn't adverse to selling Oscar and getting in a creative number 10 (who isn't tactically naive and obviously stil has decent work rate) in someone like Isco - and then let Willian be our defensive CAM/cover or competition for that RW spot.

Willian?

He's had a lot more bad games in 2015 than good, not even arguable.

Matic says hello.

Lol

Wouldn't put Sturridge in the same boat at all because he did perform here consistently when he was given a chance.

Won't get any sort of media coverage, I'm sure. SSN won't be on it, BBC won't be. David Cameron surely won't make any comments.

Go check his net spent at Inter and tell me he had funds there.

"He's nothing like Willian" they said. "You obviously haven't watched him for Fiorentina at all if you think that" they said. Honestly wasn't happy about this signing but still, have to support and hope he comes good. As I said before as well - it'll take him some time to adapt to the PL but I automatically got shot down for being a naysayer for that as well. I do actually believe he could possibly be a valuable squad member in time but we'll have to be patient. I don't think he'll ever fully secure that RW spot ala Hazard on the left though.

I'll never understand why people have short term memory like this. Before the last 4/5 games or so Oscar was playing all the time. You can't tell me someone who has clocked around 2000 minutes already this season isn't getting consistent playing time.

Why should I? IF you're going to air your views on a forum, anyone can reply to it. There isn't some rule against it. I've read what you've said. Nothing wrong with saying EL is Mo's level currently, that's my point. It really isn't an insult to him because there are players better than him that play EL football.
