What job does he get done? He's got a poor touch, has terrible awareness and his passing, along with his haircut everything else about the lad, is unimaginative. The only thing he's got going for him is reliability, in that you know he'll give you a 5/10 every game, and the fact that he'll run all day. That might appeal to some (clearly quite a few as you and Timbo are hardly his only admirers on OMITT), but he's about the most annoying/frustrating/dull player I have the displeasure of watching. I'd rather gamble on Ox even if he is equally capable of a 3/10 performance as a 8/10 performance.
A pundit once suggested managers would love to have 11 James Milner's running about, I thought about what that would be like and temporarily slipped into a coma.
