I'll always have a soft spot for Demi just like I will for any player who gives 100% each game.
There's something very satisfying about seeing a player who gets slated from all quarters turn it around a play a key part in our success.
At the end of the day we signed him as a 32 year old CB as a short term fix. The fact he is still here 3 seasons later is a testament to his professionalism. The idea was that his final season with us he would play minimal games and cover for injuries. If Txiki and Pellers could have foreseen how bad our CB injuries would have been then there is no way they would have let Denayer go. He went on loan for playing time, something which Demi was not expecting to get much of.
That said, Pellegrini constantly leaves him hung out to dry in this system. I almost feel sorry for him because as a manager you should be doing everything in your power to stop your players from being exposed. Yet Pellers expects him to play like Vinny and obviously thinks it's acceptable to let the likes of Rashford and Martial have a free run at him.
Demichellis is the first player I will applaud at the end of the season and I wish him all the best.
