Yeah been impressed with him since he came back, probably did a disservice judging him during Dyche-ball.

Crap for me but doesn't disgrace himself. Glad to have him back.

Everyones crap for you.

We could have Pirlo Iniesta Xavi as our midfield and you would be having a moan.

Literally are crap though aren't we, that's why.

I loved Richarlison, loved Lukaku, loved stones, gerri, Digne, Gana, DCL, yerry, Iwobi, Coleman ten years ago like.

Buy some good players and do well and I will enjoy them, but I'm not going to say very average workmanlike players like James Garner or McNeil are anything other than what they are. Average players who can do a job.

Well calling them average players is at least an upgrade on crap players.

You’ve been spoiled mate. You want to enjoy watching your footy as well? Too greedy!

Every team needs a Garner style player around though.

Even the most successful sides have a water carrier or two in the squad, a player who isn't exceptional, but can slot in anywhere and do a job. Never underestimate the value of a steady plodder. Let's not forget that Howard Kendall signed Alan Harper 3 times. He was never an exceptional talent, but you could slot him in anywhere and he'd do a solid, if unspectacular job. Nothing fancy, just solid and reliable.

Absolutely agree and I'm very happy to have him around the place for years to come on 25-30k, putting in the work and occasionally rising to the occasion.

But he's more than just that though isn't he. Not a superstar, but in a better performing team he'll improve more than the team average improves. He just needs others with some ability to enhance his.
