Chest control, his only real, functional attribute. A like-for-like swap for Ibrahimovic that does not make.

He's utterly incapable of tracking runners, jumping, heading, reading play and his tackling is far worse than Scholes' ever was. Add to that he's a vicious coward in 50/50s and can't pass with any reliability, I'd say this idea is out the window.

He never had a destroyer reputation. Was only really known for dictating tempo, passing and reading the game. Never renown for tackling or being physically combative.

He's proven he can't adapt to anything. Not even his supposed natural position of central midfielder.

possibly captaincy for the microphone head? he does play for the second best team in the world (after wales), rather than shitty old england. might be able to negotiate our way back into europe.
time to reassess the lad. jo mo comes with a blank tablet.

I've got loads of time for you Jem, you post a lot of sense and if this is a wind up, hats off, its brilliant work. But if it isn't? Man, that's some weapons grade crack you've got hold of there pal. I'd be well interested in buying some if you get any more.
