I'm really fed up/bored of watching these two in our central midfield.Petrov has good technique & plays the odd wonderful pass, but he's so far off the pace he's a weak link.NRC is a very limited player, I've never seen a player look so uncomfortable with the ball at his feet. He could have won us the home games v Chelsea & Blues (I think) with 2 decent chances that most midfielders would have scored. His passing has improved, but it's taken too long.About time we moved these pair on in the summer.They are no longer good enough to be a to 6 centre midfield (if thats where we want to be).
Some fair-to-middling team like Wolves or Newcastle will offer him a good contract and we'll thank him for five years decent service.
We signed 2 central midfield players in the window. In addition we have Delp and Bannan who the manager appears to rate. Both NRC's and Petrov's days must be numbered.
