I can only assume that's very different from a defensive midfielder, as he certainly isn't one of those, what with lacking any sort of actual footballing ability.
Well Lampard does it all the time ...
Anyhoo, it's hard to believe we've started the season with El Abd in the middle. We'll have slightly less than zero chance of making the play-offs if he isn't replaced sharpish. He's barely even a footballer, let alone a midfielder.
Would you really want James in goal, knowing that for all the great saves he might pull off, it's only a matter of games before he costs you several catastrophic goals?
He's talented, but not reliable enough.
Indeed. It's a job, and one they're well paid to do. It's not their place to get the hump if Bertin comes back. Do they think Forster came because he loves the club so much, or because the money was right?
I would hope we have rather more professional players than that.
Much as we'd like to believe they all bleed blue and white, it's a job. If the version stated earlier is true, it's lunacy from the club.
If you're comparing them as full-backs, then, of course, Harding was considerably better; it's his position, and shows. Virgo was never that well-suited to played away from centre-back, where he was class.
Just noticed the date!
