Think that’s probably a good description, he’s a tidy, energetic player but definitely not Pienaar quality. Perhaps him and Patterson can form a telepathic connection and bring back the glory days, but on the right side this time.
He's basically seen his hair cut and compared him to Pienaar! Bit like how every tall black central midfielder gets compared to Vieira!
I just assume that every right-footed wide forward cuts in from the left now.
Absolutely nonsense. I have no idea what his hair looks like. On the few occasions I've seen him on TV he has looked to me to be a player who doesn't give the ball away , is technically ok but doesn't have blistering pace or a fantastic end product, hence my poor man's Pienaar tag.
The complete opposite to what he actually is!
Still buying a player who you’ve got till 34.
Fair enough, but that requires scouting and paying money for players, something I think will be lacking this transfer window.
Yeah, I'd say we'll be linked to a lot of names this Summer where we'll be seeing a player that's boring or uninspiring, but the fact is we genuinely need about 10 players just to fill a squad. Genuinely, there's almost certainly no free agent who got on the pitch in the PL last year that wouldn't be useful for us. Considering we genuinely have negative squad depth there'll be a few of these lads in on a free, for a year or two, and that's smart business at the minute.
Semenyo took almost a year to acclimatize to the league, that's not a slight on him etc......but were not in the market for £10m 'projects'
