He is prone to the odd moment where he steps up when he shouldn't and sometimes gets caught in possession, as he did yesterday. Other than that he was adequate but personally I wouldn't want to go through a whole season with him there.
It's a lot of money to pay for someone who's not being used otherwise. Adebayor comes to mind of course but there have been plenty of others who have been 'overlooked', often when a new manager comes in.
It would be good news at last. Just a shame that he won't get much time to train with those members of the defence who are off with their national teams.
Tadić should have been cautioned for unsporting behaviour but Whittaker's actions were unbelievably stupid, even for a footballer.
Edit: somehow my iPad changed Tadić to Radical. I swear it happens after I hit 'send'.
Yes, very good today. Kept popping up in the right position and keeping things moving with quick passes. Did well to win the ball and set up our first goal.

Sadly I'm not the player I was in my student days and my wrist is worn out from years of misuse and if it hadn't been for the couple of jars of Dansk øl beforehand I might have shown you something spectacular. Ah, happy memories ?
