He's not been great so far has he?To think he once cost £9m. Makes Reo-Coker and Harewood look like prudent spending.
I don't want him not to play for us because of that tackle (dreadful tackle though it was).I don't want him to play for us because he's an absolutely rubbish player.

Yes.Does he win the ball? Yes.
After 2005, players would be shown the red card regardless of how much of the ball they got. It was the re-wording of the guidelines to “endangering the safety of the opponent” which eventually outlawed the two-footed challenge for good. Now not only was this type of challenge forbidden, any challenge in which the defender launched themselves at the attacker was considered “dangerous”. Dangerous was equated with excessive force. And that means a red card.
