Made the Argentina squad to play Portugal.

Well in Zab, well deserved and long overdue imo.

Yeah definitely one of the most improved players at the club.

How come he didn't start against Villa BTW?

I'm sure Doug said that Bellers was mentoring him in one of his reports.

Well in Zab's, long overdue.

I would like to think it is rotation as the alternative reasons aren't good. i.e. Mancini thinks Boateng is currently a better full back or that he had better play Boateng soon so that he doesn't get too upset.

Really rewarding to see "mad zab" change from a liability to a 1st xi regular, well done!

I wonder if carlito has helped?

Dunno, I reckon pound for pound it could well be Kompany if he keeps it up. Did they cost around the same?

Haha and now we've both referred to our previous posts in these threads.

Ps. I was going to mention the manager who signed them but thought better of it ;)

Zab isn't just a fantastic player but a brilliant professional. There's players that offer so much more in terms of their ability and experience but Zab outshines many of them with his work ethic and attitude.

Well done that man!
