Which actually makes little difference as we are a low-possession team. Not to mention that Westwood was in the team when we went on our worst run last season so this idea that his presence makes any difference is nonsense and backed up by nothing.
It's probably backed up by looking at his potential replacements.
Spent over a year out of football I think.
Most valuable player in the the Greek league last season playing for Panathinaikos. Scored a hat-trick in the cup final. Advise to any young player, don't sign for Hamburg
Did he take a year off before that?
Really? I like Rakitic he is a good player but Xavi is one of the best midfielders ever and Rakitic is not even best Croatian midfielder at the moment
The Xavi he's replacing isn't one of the best midfielders ever though. He's been past his best the last couple years.
Holt was signed because Kozak broke his leg.
No. He was signed because Clark broke Kozak's leg....
This post should win an award for something. Maybe, most unnecessary and ridiculous swipe at a player?
Why scolari plays hulk over willian is beyond me. Also, why he never called up costa and stuck with Fred and Jo. And why he began the tournament with paulinho instead of fernandinho. And why he's considering 3 defensive midfielders.
I guess that's why he makes the big bucks.
If argentina win the World Cup, they'll have to be one of the poorer sides to win it in recent history. I want them to win, but after their forward line they just don't really have great players at all.
