1. No one has bigged him up to be better than 3/4 of the world's greats. That is just something you've made up. And no one even thinks he is better than players in the Prem. It takes more to be better than just great vision and a sweet touch. But simply put, he does have amazing vision, and a fantastic touch on the ball. That is undeniable. And that vision and touch dwarfs those of most players in the Prem. This doesn't make him better, (he'd have to come here and prove that on a consistent basis), but he needs not be in the Prem to have a better touch.blue b4 the moon said:For the amount of money we turnover in wages etc giving him a contract wouldn't particularly make much difference at all to our expenditure.
It would perhaps raise our profile in the UAE though but, if he fails as is probably likely, would it be counted productive for us? Maybe due to this its a gamble not worth taking.
The guys who are bigging him up to be better than 3/4 of the world greats need to get a grip.
if he was anything like they are portraying him he'd be in Europe now even if only at some Italian B side.
