I like Martin Petrov and admire him a lot for what he is - a very skillful player who will always be able to score great goals. Old fashioned I may be but there is nothing more exciting than watching a winger taking on defenders, heading for the corner flag and sending in inch perfect passes. At other times, cutting in at the edge of the box and letting fly with an unstoppable shot.
Sadly for Petrov, no matter how well he plays he will always be only one poor display away from the boo boys on here calling for his blood and trying to tell all the rest of us how rubbish he is.
Try and accept him for what he is, an out and out winger who on his day, (and that seems to be frequently recently), is a great asset to us and one who will be sadly missed if people continue to try and hound him out of the club.
Alright, sometimes he may appear as a luxury in the team but that will always be the case with wingers, not every game suits having wide players. But when called upon Martin Petrov will deliver the goods.
Sorry if my opinion is not the same as most other folk on here, but that's what it was - just my opinion.
