Pablo Zabaleta

Have a look at how many times BM actually used him !!
He rates him very highly like I do.However I must be honest and think that next season he will be used more as a good sub coming on, in a variety of different positions.
He`s like Nige, very much a true blue and not like some of the fanny aches like Robinho !

If we are serious about our ambitions, then Zab will either stick around as a squad player or be sold if he turns round and says he wants regular football.

Got his new contract - very pleased - he'll do a job for us - the Argies could have done with him at right back last week

Zab is a great player to have around the place. It amazes me that whenever he is mentioned on here the giving away of free kicks always gets discussed. This is what defenders do, give away free kicks.It's a part of the Game and it's still a contact sport.

love having him in squad. of decent ability, always puts 100% in, albeit slightly reckless! He is versatile and reliable. Perfect for a squad.

I hear Mancio likes Zabs, and labelled him as the new Zanetti or something along them lines?

Very hard working lad, very handy to have in the squad. In his first season, he quickly became one of my favourite players, especially after his performance against Wigan. Very impressive, and he is versatile as well which helps.

Mancini will be keen to keep a hold of him for his versatility. I still think Zabba could be an important player for us and Diego definitely missed a trick not taking him to South Africa.

what are you talking about?

the fact that he puts 100% in isn't enough

every RB and LB must be able to go in attack and at least cross normally,and some players even score

for example Maicon or Riise they all can go in attack

only defending isn't enough

 

[Freestyler]

Where will he fit in this season? For me he is so underrated its untrue. A true warrior who gives his all for us.

the biggest liability on the pitch from what we have in the squad.

great player yeah, gonna be a squad player next season imo, can't see him as a starter, could start in CC/F.A Cup games.

Agree. Can't believe they preferred Guttierez.
