de jong to napoli?

[Dax777]

I think the pro-Nigel contingent could probably be more accommodating of debate, but for anyone speaking on behalf of the entire Toffee fanbase claiming Fellaini is considered by far their best player... you know that kind of thing is researchable, right? I couldn't read the official club site because I don't have flash enabled, but their leading fansite doesn't even list him in the 5 polling options for best player of the season. Doesn't mean some people don't rate him there, but I can probably guarantee that most fans don't consider him far and away their best, or anywhere near it.

Need to be more wary of hyperbole, probably on both sides of the fence.

Point taken. But one has to also recognize that it is hard to rank a player who participated in less than half of the games this season amongst "the top 5 for the season"

You're right! He isn't tall. Send the prick back, I never thought of it like that. He just isn't tall. Sell him, and sell Silva whilst we're at it. Let's buy.........Fellaini, he's tall, yeeeeaaaahhhh!

Chill out it was Dax who I was replying to. At least check which page your logged in on before taking it personally

How do you know "all of them" think he is better than De Jong, how many of them have you fucking asked?

It was hyperbole to make a point - I apologize.

is hyperbole another word for "your usual bollocks"? You just made it up to patehetically try and back up your shit views; how many live City matches did you honestly get to last season?

De Jong won't be going anywhere, he's a class act, one of the best holding midfielders in the game.

Incorrect. Also in the eyes of the ever so often biased (against City) pundits.

When you tally the averages for his game to game ratings over a season, you'd find it is commensurate to those of Huddlestone, Song, and Leiva. His tackles are flashy in that he goes in with intense force to the delight of the fans. And the tackles are remembered often. But others accomplish similar goals by other means.

He is a good tackler, who passes the ball well and defends admirably. But he is not special. He is not fast, athletic or tall. Does not make quick decision on the ball, and is often too cautious (or worse, doesn't see the play). A good player but in no way dynamic.

when you are building a team you have to think ALSO to put the right body in some positions.

even the barca of the fuckyng dwarf play a tall body in front of their defence

I don't think its as simple as saying Barca have a tall holding midfielder so we have to have a tall holding midfielder. Makelele is seen as one of the best players to have played that role and he was short, I don't think Diarra is particularly big either, or Gattuso. If he was a centre half I could see your point but then Mascherano has been playing at centre half for Barca so does that mean we should play with a 5ft 6 centre half?

5 games and yet you see everything and know everything! You really do post in the most unbelievably arrogant know-all way; everything you post is in that style - never an inkling of "in my opinion", just black and white, Sabster knows everything. You are an obnoxious, self-opinionated windbag, and whilst I do not resent your opinion, I strongly resent the way that you express your opinion

Now this is just a ridiculous attack - and extremely ironic - go back through this thread and count the number of times I have said IMO or in my opinion.
