Well this season all he did was to pick up the ball and run with it in circle trying to dribble opposition players. So yes, he's been bad. Basically now we've got Dembele, Carroll, Sandro, Parker, Sigurdsson, Dempsey and Holtby, with Paulinho potentially coming in. Probably Parker and Siggy will leave.

If thats the player you need replacing how about Valencia?
His favourite trick this season was to receive the ball, stop, pivot 180 degrees, pivot back the other 180 and then play a simple pass inside.
He mixed it up occasionally by smashing crosses out of play too, so you see he's not just as one dimensional as Parker.
Anyway, Marca are saying that Isco has basically signed for Madrid.

Nah, he's a proper box-to-box midfielder.

This. Coup for Spurs. Considering he's 4 years younger then Fernandinho, costing about £13m less and gets in the Brazil squad infront of him.

Apparently. I've heard people saying he comes in to fill the playmaker hole after Modric departure. He's kinda the same type of player as Fernandinho.
Holtby played most of the season on a more advanced position, like attacking midf behind the lone striker but he hasn't impressed me, I hope he'll get better in the next season.
Oh and Huddlestone I forgot about him, had some good games at the slight end of the season especially after he was subbed on v City he changed the course of the game.

Paulinho's not a playmaker. He's a box-to-box midfielder who used to be a defensive midfielder.

I actually think Huddlestone is a good player.
If you could somehow brainwash him into forgetting about the existence of Big Mac's and get him on an intensive fitness regime he'd be a real asset.

About 3 years ago, wasn't Parker near universally loved on here, and KM was the only one who actually said he wasn't very good?

Bit unfair on Fernandinho, a player playing in Brazil has a much better chance of getting picked for the Brazil squad over someone playing in Ukraine, even if he has been playing Champions Leagues, that's just how their selection policy works.

Also, Napoli have signed Dries Mertens from PSV for €9.5M. Will be interesting to see if he can keep his strong goalscoring record going against tougher opponents in Serie A.

If there was a single bidder then perhaps, but reports suggest there's a few teams with serious interest so that could pump up his price tag a bit - not to mention the fact he's still young and has plenty of time left to run on his current contract.

Well....
He has some pace, a few tricks, he'll beat players and then frustrate the fuck out of you with a poor delivery.

Especially in Championship Manager 2008.

Someone played it? Their games were awful since the split.
