This thread is a classic study in confirmation bias. The mere fact that there is so much disagreement about his merits is proof, though, that his performances are nowhere near good enough for a, supposedly, Champions League player.
"Best player last week" someone said. There were times last week when I forgot he was even on the pitch, the guy "played" for about 20 minutes out of the 90.
He's been here 18 months and I'm still scratching my head wondering how so many of our fans think there's anything so great about him? There have been times when I've thought, yes, he could be really good, but these are just flashes. For the most part games pass him by.
I don't know whether that's because this club doesn't suit him or he hasn't actually got that much about him. I reckon most DoFs will be having the same internal discussion, so I imagine we're stuck with him, for better or worse.
