If he's in our shirt, giving his best I'll back him, irrespective of him being a tool. We get what we want & so does he.

An upgrade on KEA? Definitely.

Maybe. I'm sure the original article about this said Lambert made the call.

Who knows, who cares?

It amazes me that people can continue to be so abusive about the lad even after he has chosen to sign for us, Aston Villa, with this one fact being the only the thing we know for sure.

Don't get me wrong, I was there at 11:05 last night uttering various insults about his money-grabbing, preferring Everton, but clearly this was not entirely the case, all these journalists seem to base much on assumption.

Pat Murphy just said on 5 Live he's on the same wages he was on at United which is less than the highest earners at Villa.
So why did he or his agent or both think he was worth much more?

Gives us five players to choose from when we want to play three in centre-mid. Vital really as I think Delph and Sanchez will pick up a few bookings.

This. We don't know the circumstances and it's done now, abuse him if he's pants on the pitch.

If you don't ask you don't get.

It's very possible our opening offer was less than his Utd wage, so we then settled in the middle somewhere, which was what he's presently on with them.

Isn't that what agents do?

Anyway, my 'ITK' tells me he's a neat and tidy player who passes the ball sideways to more dynamic players, he said United hoped he would be the dynamic player but it seems he's not.

Didn't want him but think the club have done very well with this deal.

Hope TC23™ does well.

To be fair to him, its hard for him to be a dynamic player when he's used as a defensive midfielder. I think we'll be telling him to get forward and give him more freedom to show us what he can do.

Interesting to see how he fits in. Thought Delph & Richardson looked good on Sunday, and you'd presume Sanchez, if he was to play, would go in the place of Westwood?

With a bit of luck, he could become the Milner replacement we have been craving.
