What, a midfielder that barely plays?

He's a youngster that needs first team football cos he's not gonna get it here at the moment.

That simple.

Worries me a bit that he'd allegedly rather coast along here than actually earn a crust doing what he's paid for.

Chelsea academy money for nothing mentality?

You'd think he'd be desperate to go somewhere he can make a name for himself. At any level.

He barely played but that is the type of midfielder he is.

This stuff does my head in.

People get defensive when you call it video game logic but I don't see what else it can be. Guy who's barely played any games in his career, the stats show he doesn't win the ball back much but you insist that he just factually is a ball-winning midfielder. Categorising of players into simple pigeon holes with absolutely nothing to back it up. Just "he is" a ball winning midfielder, even though he doesn't have any sort of record of winning the ball very much. Factually wins the ball less than Seri, but because Seri's short and can pass he just can't be a ball-winner and Simons can. Really ridiculous stuff.

As ridiculous as our awful form (10th) and dire defensive record (4th) under rosenior?
