Our Iberians

[Mad Squad]

Tend to agree with this, probably more than one flash of brilliance every 3 games, more like 3 brilliant passes every game but then he is totally anonymous for the rest of it and as has been said would like to see him do a 90 min performance. We want him to dictate play, be at the heart of every forward move.

Are we being too harsh, we are obsessed with his price tag but forget he is only 22?
The other point is do you want to replace him with an Osborn type who runs non stop, at the expense of that one moment that opens a defence? To be honest that one moment is why I go to football matches.

Im as conflicted as everyone else I think!

Good summary.

I rate him, but think 13m was way too much, and that he should have been 4-6m at most.

But that's irrelavant now. At 22 he's still got bags of time to grow, and he's also a player who'll suit the Prem way more than the hustle & bustle of this league.

The key thing is finding him a position. The role AK had planned for him isn't the one we have planned now.

We didn't pay 13m for him and I don't care what the next accounts say. That is why we employ Sam Gordon.

Interesting comment Sniffer. Care to elaborate?
