Herrera sticks out like a sore thumb when you're trying to fit everything in, he plays his best at no.10
Absolute rubbish.

He was only used as a number 10 last season and it took him a while to get used to it too. Prior to that he operated as a CM for the majority of his career, he plays his best football as a deep lying play maker where he absolutely destroyed us in the Europa League, he is equally comfortable playing box to box. I think a lot here have a false opinion of him being a purely offensive player, he's very creative but he loves to get stuck in with a tackle and his reading of the game is top rate, he actually managed more interceptions and tackles last season than Carrick and Fellaini combined.

West Adelaide Bloods, Man City.
it's what happens when you have a guy like perez as your owner. wants to have a say in every aspect of the team.

di maria is a better player than james, but james has the marketing potential. ancelotti doesn't want di maria sold, players like ronaldo and ramos dont want him sold, the fans don't want him sold, but he's gone. ridiculous.

We'll see how tough he is in England then

I never said he was a purely offensive player, I merely think his football is best when he gets to go forward in more advanced areas in the hole. So sensitive Mancs can keep their panties on

Getting more interceptions and tackles than those two nowadays is like winning a foot race against turtles

I agree that he's at his best when he can get forward and have an impact but you could say the same about Vidal and he's no number 10. He's only played the one season as a number 10 and it's a waste of his talents imo as he's always been highly regarded in Spain for his defensive abilities. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to a tougher league but he has the same sort of aggression to him that Scholes had so I don't expect him to be shying away from a challenge.

I can't say the same for Vidal, because Vidal is brilliant everywhere. He does loads of work both ways, more than probably anyone in the world

In that Europa League tie he had blokes like Javi Martinez sitting next to or behind him, he's gonna have Fletcher and Jones/Evans/Smalling, different game

If he had the same aggression that Scholes had then he must be a snidey sniping cheating asswipe then

Apparently lining up a loan with the option to buy bid for Zaha. Wouldn't mind that. Zaha and Ince at the one club would be interesting!
Waste of time. Would rather see him at Palace where he actually has a small chance of playing to his potential. Just doesn't give a shit anywhere else.

Ince is one that'll be good for you guys, absolute tosser, but such a good player when he gets going.
