So for me in Yaya and Barry we have two players that can do his job better and on the whole for me there are quite a few better.
did you google "complete midfielders" or something? in that list there are a couple better players than Nigel in that list, of which Masch, Yaya, Song and Khedira are not among them.
Look, if i were going to start a side tomorrow and someone told me i had to pick a defensive midfield enforcer with my first pick then Nigel wouldn't be the third pick in that draft. I can't think of two defensive midfielders i'd pick before him. Essien's a good shout, but the risk is that he's always halfway to broken. You wouldn't look foolish if you picked Nigel first. He's fantastic and will only shine even more against top clubs who try and play football. We've seen that for a while now.
cheers
I tend to go by what I see and any stats I can find.
I think if you were to take your blue specs of and consider the players I have mentioned they are better than our Nige at doing "his job" .If you think they are worse that our Nigel then your opinion is different to mine and a few other people who independantly judge these things.
I think some of our fans think if they were upto the standard of a pro player,Nigel,would be the type of player they would be like to be compared with A "hard man".
I think some of our fans don't see Nigel's limitations due to the fact they like his rough way of doing things.
Some of you lot would like to imagine if you were playing you would be "hard men"
