Right now, he is a passenger, but let's face it lads - we can't get anyone to play that role and be reliable. We don't have money to buy a CM, we don't have a youngster in CM breaking through (Lundstram is very untested).

Our only way of switching him to AMC/bench would be to put Pienaar in CM and Deulofeu on the wing, but that's also not very good, cuz Pienaar's not in good form right now, and he's not a CM (even though imo he'd do better there than Osman, having played there for South Africa for a long time).
 
Nedd to get shut of him sharpish. Lost track of the number of times I've yelled "**** off Osman" at the TV screen over the last year or two. Getting to think "**** off" should be his first name. His purple patches are more than cancelled out by the rest of the time when he gets knocked off the ball easier than a two-year-old and gives it away more than a Newcastle ****.
 

His legs have gone.

He looks like he's running in cement compared with everyone around him.

Gives the ball away consistently.

Unfortunately we don't have any ambition whatsoever and will be playing him for years to come.
 

As an attacker, Osman is a good player. Anybody saying any differently are being a bit daft and are letting his performances at CM cloud their judgement.

He's not even a Premier League standard CM though, he has no defensive ability whatsoever.

He did pretty well last season there with Fellaini and Gibson.

Don't care what anyone says, Osman was a massive part to how well we played last season until his form went by January.

Pretty much close the thread after this.
