One for Nasser's little book

[Shepherds Mush]

While you're at it, go ahead and call Shaun Derry a "decent midfielder" at this level, that guy never scored.

To be fair, Derry was a decent midfielder at this level. His partnership with Faurlin was the basis of why his game went up a notch when he was with us though (IMO) - they had a great understanding.

I get what you mean, but at the same time there's a reason players and fans rated him in our top 3 players that season. Also, while we're at it, Faurlin never did score many if any goals and I'd say he's one of the best midfielders this division has seen, even if he only played 2 consistent and 1 semi consistent season.

Can't agree with that Nas

Luango is good but best midfielder in the league I'm not sure... Lansbury, Shelvey, Cairney and Kayal for me. There all better than Luango IMO but he is young and is the best player we have. Hopefully we can keep hold of him.

Shelvey also scores some crackers.

Scores some crackers against our midfield who thought he was Messi funny that the week after we played them they lost and the other side closed him down, may be that our master tactician JFH cant work that out ?

also probably we crap at home and were in awe of a joe average newcastle side managed by a better manager ?

just my observation

Can't agree with that Nas

Had it not been for that first injury, you'd probably have seen him play for Arsenal for a few years, that January there were suggestions of a 15mil move for Faurlin. That's how good he was. Taarabt was afforded so much freedom because of the work put in by Derry and Faurlin. Without those two doing the gritty work and spraying passes, we wouldn't have seen one of the best individual seasons in the league's history.

Nasser are you paid per word? Pains me to say but I agree with you about faurlin, could control a top premier league match in his prime and was a class act

Essays. I like the fellas input at times but fk me he'd put a glass eye to sleep

And here's the one for this season:

Three of the top ten best performing midfielders (stats wise) are Aussies. Not bad.

[nasser95]

He's moving on up after today. Hourihane got a 6.3 and Shelvey got a 7.4. Our golden boy Mass got an 8.1. Marathon, not a sprint.

5 Mil would be an embarrassingly low amount. Wouldn't consider selling him at all, we've got solid wingers and we may not be playing standard wingers anymore for all we know.
