PUTTYBLUE said:We have Denis suarez and Joan Roman good young players that need blooding. Why pay pizarro? He,s ok maybe a squad player but so are the players above, give them a chance!
Neither play his role though, Suarez is more like Silva and Roman is more like Nasri although could also play Johnson's role. I can't think of any deep-lying playmakers at EDS level, the Norwegians say Abu can pick a great pass but he couldn't even break into Frankfurt's (German 2nd division) title chasing team and is back on loan in Norway.
Emyr Huws (who was hyped as the next Aaron Ramsey when we paid a big fee to Swansea for him a couple of years ago) for the under 18s looks like he can pick a pass from a distance and has good vision (going off highlights) but he is far off the first team and next step for him is the reserves/NextGen.
