nolan was gash today. At NUFC he was given freedom to go forward and play off the big man leaving all the midfield work such as tackling, running and track back to his other midfilders like tiote and smith. he isnt given that freedom to play a free role at west ham and he will struggle, nolan fitted into our system well but not so well into west hams.
if he is playing off carlton cole he may play better than he does playing of piqiuonne and sears.
dont really car to be honest i think we got the best out of him, cant tell you how delighted i am we didnt give him a huge 5 year contract. 2 years max, which is what we offered him. good on the club not backing down to him, giving old and useless players on big contracts is one of the factors which got us relegated.
