' GARY MEDEL TO VALENCIA! '

Medel showed on enough occasions what quality he had. MOM on many occasions before Christmas, superb v Man City, outplaying top top players. Excellent against man U, ran the game v the Jacks, almost perfect against Fulham just to name a few.

He was injured before the Hull game and was rushed back as without him we were pathetic. He played the rest of the season injured, in a team which was rapidly losing hope. In the end he had to give in to the injury, but many fans were happy to judge him on that. That's their choice I guess, but for me I saw enough to rate him as a very very good defensive central midfielder.

I'm confident over his career he will be a success, he has been for the vast majority of it.

You could say that about nearly every premier league central midfielder at some point. Everyone has good games.

The issue is he probably has 1 good game to 4 average and 2 shit ones.

Depending on your cult hero status, the average and shit ones get excused accordingly leaving apparently the only true reflection of his abiliy.

Before his injury he had maybe 1 or 2 poor games, 6-7 very good ones, 4-5 decent ones and a few average ones.

Then again I'm not really interested in your opinion as it is generally bollox backed up by manipulating statistics and merely put out to wind up.

You can tell the ones who know their stuff as they are able to talk about technical aspects of players' games rather than just quote percentages from some website which will never take account of qualitative factors.

More than happy to discuss the technical qualities to his game, however they are shown in the statistics. Im not manipulating anything what so ever, im just telling you where he ranks in starting defensive midfielders in the Premier League.

Surely you cant be ridiculous enough to think that all the stuff he is brilliantly amazingly brilliant at is the stuff they dont consider in their collation, meaning of course that the stuff they dont count Medel just so happens to be way better at it than everyone else

Its the same stats taking into consideration across the board, what they leave out for Medel they leave out for the likes of Jedinak. Considering movement is probably the biggest factor we cannot account for, i think leaving it out is doing your boy a favour.
