Antonio Valencia retires..

brilliant attitude, always gave 100 % . was shoehorned in at RB for the last few years ( along with young, dont know why we didnt just sign a RB) .

was very one dimensional, for whatever reason he drilled every cross opportunity he had and never tried to find a man. never used his left foot.


not bad but not good. lets not overrate him here. bang on 6/10 player. the majority of that is due to his attitude and physical nature. As a footballer he was shite

That’s about right.

Thanks for being bang average Tony.

Bye.

I am sure he did once.

very solid for us, particularly as played out of position (and I don't mean at right back).

came back from injury, became the best right back in the league, tough as a tough thing.

yes, he did lack ambition a bit going forward in his latter years. but I think he was coached into being a timid tiger. should have played the kante role. would have been immense.

we didn't know what we had.

I wouldn't go that far, personally, but to say he was bang average is also a bit try hard.

he was a tiger. players' player of the year twice. I'd imagine they appreciate football.

remember the goons not the crosses....

He could have been so much better if he’d worked on his weaknesses. Shame.

Good luck "kick, run, cross". Thanks for everything. We'll almost certainly see your likes again.

Average.

Thought he was genuinely great until his injury, after that he turned into the epitome of a 'solid pro'. 80% of the time he was a 7/10, which is not really what you want from a first team player. Seemed to be well liked by managers and players though. Wore good underwear.



Not sure where I'm going with this.
