Not to be all narky and stuff, but while I do like seeing pics of the team training, and having fun and bonding and all that, shouldn't they be like, I don't know, practising how to *defend*, not play Headtennis (or whatever it's called)? Unless we've got some important Headtennis games coming up against our rivals that I wasn't aware of? J.

Francie Barrett wrote: » I can only go by what my eyes see. When he left us, I saw a player who was a lot calmer, who could knock the ball around, who didn't lose possession trying silly passes and expose his team to counter attacks. I watched about half his games at Almeria, and he looked a different player, they moved him into a wider winger type role and had him trying to beat players and put in crosses. It was a style of play that did not suit him, and from what I could see in pre-season, he returned to us, was put in a similar role and was doing the same things as he did at Almeria. His career here is obviously over and I think Milan will be a good club for him. They will play with a lot more patience, they will probably tuck him into a central role a bit more to utilize his excellent one touch play and give him more support.

He should have remained with us last season and not been sent on loan. I am not saying he would have been another Sterling, but I think he could have been a good squad player for us. Certainly better than Aspas/Moses though.
