Martin Demichelis (continued)

[tailspin747]

I'm happy to eat my words and admit he's playing well now. Long may it continue.

 

[City_Sean]

Miles better defender than people give him credit for, shows if you have a footballing brain you don't need pace.

 

[Bill]

he just seems to enjoy his career. a good lad.

 

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

Well done Martin for winning over the doubters.

 

[steviemc]

You could tell MoM meant a great deal to him - that was a look that said he was proud.

He's proved the critics wrong and stepped up to the mark, let's hope he continues in the same form. Well played sir.

 

[Trautmannesque]

It will only take one mistake and the snidey MDM baiting that seems to have become a national sport will start all over again. Example:

Tyler: He was signed as a stopgap but has had an extended run due to injury to Nastasic.
Ratboy (gleefully): Well he hasn't stopped many gaps.

Ha fucking ha. And they're all at it, desperately waiting to have another pop, even if the error is actually someone else's (a la Vinnie at Wembley).

 

[Wilf Wild 1937]

Won me over. I'd have gone with Lescott instead of him but currently with Kompany carrying an injury he's our best CB.
Well done Martin, I'm happy to have been proved wrong.

Yeah, I love Lescott but Demichelis is a better footballer and has improved a lot defensively over the past couple of months.

 

[Santiago Street]

Can't fault him recently. Seems a good character to have around the place.

 

[TFC]

Has more than justified a 1 year extension, hope he gets it.

this was always my opinion of him, better footballer (by a mile) but not as good a defender, well he's put that right as he's settled in so well done to him.

 

[Rammy Blue]

He will be great back-up and bench option next season when we've upgraded at the back.

That's assuming we do, needed to for 3 summers but never have.

True enough but pretty confident we will finally get it done this summer.

MDM will need a new deal, but I'm sure he's earned one now.

Thought he signed a 2 year deal?

Maybe you're right mate, just had 'one year' in mi head.

Terrible piss take article in the Evening Standard by a KFA cockney having a right pop at MDM last night. Picked a copy up on the rain up to Manchester - put me in a right bad mood for the journey.

Yeah I'm pleased for him as well, I think some of the criticism he was getting was over the top and undeserved.

It was definitely a two year deal. Wouldn't be surprised to see him join NYCFC when it expires.
