The club has done excellently this window - credit due to all the people involved.
-
Is he Bacuna in disguise?
-
He might be in Football Manager terms but not in real life - he operates all over the midfield, all you need to do is look at some of his passing maps - such as here: http://Premier League.squawka.com/bournemouth-vs-aston-villa/08-08-2015/english-barclays-premier-league/matches

Westwood doesn't just sit in front of the back 4 and rarely venture out of our half though - nor does Schneiderlin simply sit back the whole time either. They'll cross paths a lot more than that and in a 50-50 situation, you're going to favour Schneiderlin every time. Even if Westwood just turns around and plays it back, Schneiderlin has done his job because he's forced Ash's hand.
-
Looks that way, which is certainly a shame.
-
Richards at RB, Clark and Fonte at CB. Two Birds. One Stone. That would work.
-
He also needs to toughen up a bit too - Petrov and Barry were more solid than him and were much harder to dispossess. Maybe Gana can give him a few pointers to help that part of his game.
-
Given the way we've been doing business, I very much doubt we'd spring for 8mil for a 31 year old (within reason).
-
Depends how much, really. At 31 he's got a couple of decent seasons in his pomp left, I'd imagine - so 5mil or so wouldn't be outrageous.
-
serious? If one guy plays deep playmaker. And the other plays defensive midfielder. They dont usually mark/come into contact with each other that much. Nowhere enough to class it as bully. It will be depay/rooney who will be closing down westwood (usually) I wouldn't be surprised to see LVG send him further forward to play a more physical game against Westwood.
-
I think Sanchez is a must against Man Utd. Schneiderlin would bully Westwood.
-
Tonev and N'Zogbia don't deserve second chances. They deserve to be cast into the fiery pits of Small Heath.
-
RE: the DM, depends entirely on who we're playing.
-
I don't think he handles contracts.

He's not one of our best players yet, calm down. -
None of the front three who started shone. I think they were just all too similar really, gave us only one dimension and they didn't really know what to do with themselves. Not going to judge him for a while.
-
He's OK. Can't say I'm fussed either way about the contract renewal.
-
Traore AND Keita? Wat?
-
We could do better in every position in the side, doesn't mean that we don't have decent players already. We're not going to outgrow Guzan any time soon.
-
I think taking the Bournemouth game as an example is a but of a false impression - they're a championship team still, more or less. Friday against United will tell us a lot more; hopefully they'll do well.
-
A perennial 6.5 player.
-
It's as if he should be getting ten assists a season or something. Boggles the mind.
-
People have been carping on about it for a while though, certainly before the Bournemouth game.
-
This game will be much more of a test than Championship level Bournemouth and their strikers. IMO Richards should be told to man-mark Rooney, so he has a focus - I really hope he doesn't make any silly runs up the pitch either. Poor positioning will be punished against Man U.
-
We should be planning our tactics for this game around Gestede - we need him on and bullying their CBs as much as possible.
