that, my friend, is interesting on several levels. And not in a good way. You think having Gelson in midfield would have won you two matches against the league champions this past season? Slag De Jong all you want, but he does a job...and is a good player. Once we've got a couple more pieces, and some focus on where and when he should play we'll be fine and it won't be so easy to slag him off. He might be a one-trick pony in your eyes, but he's the kind that will be on the pitch when we hoist a trophy. I think.
cheers
Well Gelson did score a couple of goals for us when playing in the same position that Nige occupies now. Do you think that Nige will ever score a goal for us ?? I don't see it in him.
To be fair to Nige, he does his job well but is 1 dimensional as he brings no attacking value to the team. Our other current DM's, Barry and Vieira on the other hand do get forward , do pass forward and get into scoring positions and also score. So in the absence of a world class playmaker, I would play Barry and Pat ahead of Nige.

Ha ha, the term 'defensive midfielder' should give you a clue as to if they have attacking value ... jeez
