Would kill for his bank balance.

That too!

He is a very clever player on the pitch, his passing is fantastic.

“If the team is compact and you don't need to run a lot in distance he can press and win tackles and he is aggressive and he was in the box today.

“That surprised me! Not that he was in the box, because at corners he took his position (that we wanted).

“But he's still one of the best players that I have managed in my teams because of the cleverness of him in football is really a high quality.”

Hope he can still still be as good as the Yak was at the age of 50.

Quotes from our manager aren't they?

I'm hating this mate, being had off all over the Internet here. Fair play to Grandad he's had two v good games but I'm not going to go back on my assessment of him under Martinez.

What assessment? That he was very good?

What assessment? That he was very good?

No, that he was average for the past two seasons and that one of Martinez's biggest mistakes was building a side around an older slower player.

He looked washed up 2 years ago. I didn't want him back for 2015-16. I'm happy to be totally wrong.

i dig his complete absence of an ego in addition to his on the pitch contributions

Remember when we signed him and 99% of people were horrified at the signing. I was part of the 99%

That was fun. Can't think of any other signing I've been underwhelmed by this much for them to completely obliterate the opinion from previous clubs.

I couldn't imagine were we would be without him the past couple of years. Outstanding footballer who has lost a step or two but still influential.

I was the same...probably the most WTF signing for me in recent memory. Dafuq we signin this has been for?

Piped me right down.

But hey ho what do I know. I thought Eto'o was a brilliant signing.

Gana seems on the fast track for excellent vault sessions.

 

[Khalekan]

Thing is though, if he can play every game then let him. Did that last year and was flawless throughout the season.

He's clearly not like most 35 year old players.

Not only that, modern players look after themselves a lot better now and the days of a player going into steep decline simply because he is in his thirties are long gone.

Wasn't to bad when we signed him, I was horrified when Moyes bought Phil Neville
